We are born as human beings, but we are trapped in endless bondage. Some come from social concepts, some from family expectations, and some from self-perception. Among these constraints, there is one that is particularly distressing – gender bondage. We are often expected to live, act, and grow according to a fixed pattern. However, true life is to break free from the shackles and be at the helm of your own life.
I've lived in this environment since I was a child. In the family, there always seems to be a voice telling me how girls should be, how boys should be. I wondered why I was the only one in the house who had to do the housework, while my brother was free. Whenever I asked my mother a question, she always said lightly, "Because you're a girl." This simple answer, like a lock, locked me in a cage of gender stereotypes.
As I got older, I read more and more books and met more and more people. I'm beginning to realize that there is more to the world than just one color, one sound. I started to think, what is true freedom? Do you go with the flow, or do you live your life on your own terms?
Chizuruko Ueno once said, "Feminism in my heart is the pursuit of freedom, and as long as you live freely, you can do anything." This sentence was like a lightning bolt that illuminated the fog in my heart. I began to understand that true freedom is to live according to one's own heart, and to have the right to choose.
People who love their families can choose to devote themselves to their families; People who love their careers can choose to burn themselves in their careers. We don't have to be tied to traditional roles and don't have to be denied the right to choose just because we're of a certain gender. We can be wild weeds or pure winds; You can set off to pursue the direction of your dreams, or you can stop and smell the fragrance of the earth. As long as we want to, as long as we are brave, we can all be who we want to be.
True freedom, however, is not easy to come by. It requires us to challenge those stereotypes, to fight against those invisible constraints. It requires us to be brave in the face of doubts and criticism, and to walk firmly on our own path. Only in this way can we truly take control of our own lives and become the helmsmen of our own lives.
Together, let us break free from those invisible shackles and no longer let gender be an obstacle to our pursuit of freedom. Let us be brave to be the helmsman of our own lives and sail to our own sea of stars. Remember, no matter which choice you make, it's your own life. No matter when and where, you should maintain a sense of calmness and relaxation in your busy life. Only in this way can we truly be free and truly live our lives.
Gender should not be a shackle that restricts our pursuit of freedom. In this diverse and inclusive world, everyone has the right to choose their own way of life and shape their own life according to their own wishes. Whether we choose to be housewives or elites in the workplace, whether we choose to be farmers in the mountains or artists in the city, we should all be respected and supported. Because in this colorful world, everyone is unique, and everyone has infinite possibilities.
Let's break free from the shackles and be at the helm of our own lives. Let's welcome every new sunrise and sunset with a free heart and a firm will. Because in this colorful world, everyone can be their own hero.
