If I were a boy
This song came on the radio, and it led me to think about all the different possibilities and chances I’d get if I was a boy. My life would change drastically. For the better? For the worse? Who knows, maybe it would be just as sad. But if I was a boy, mom wouldn’t get on my case about being too masculine. I would work out and show off my muscles proudly without feeling my arms are too fat. I could stay out late without having my mom worry too much about me. I would learn how to skate and go to a skate park to hang out with the ska8erbois. I would participate in organized sports, and perhaps even think about a professional career in football.
If I was a boy, I wouldn’t need to worry about what to wear to formal events (ie weddings, business meetings, interviews) because the only option is a suit! It would be much easier to shop for clothes, and there would be more varieties of shoes to choose from. I could wear t-shirts and jeans all year long without having people question my sex. I could take woodworking classes and choose engineering as a major without being the odd one out. I would bond with the guys over a couple bottles of beer. I wouldn’t have to wear make-up at important events when I have to look nice. I could get myself dirty playing on a day out. I would take roadtrips with the gang and drive for long hours on the road.
If I was a boy, I would totally ask you out and ask you to be my girlfriend. We could be together with our family & friends’ approval and blessing. You would be the love of my life, and we would, nodoubtedly, get married when the time is right. We would start building a family and lead a normal and happy life together.
If only life was easier said than done…
