Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää!

2 anniversaries today

Today marks the 92th anniversary of Finland's declaration of Independence from the Soviet Union. On December 6th, 1917, Finland finally proclaimed its birth as an independent country.
May the years to come be prosperous and kind for the country of a thousand (187,887, to be exact) lakes! =D

On a less happy note...
Here in Quebec, we mark the 20th anniversary of a tragic event that shook everyone deeply. On December 6th, 1989, a 25-year-old man entered an engineering school in Montreal, and within 20 minutes, killed 14 women before committing suicide. He blamed feminists for ruining his life, and apparently shooting young women with brilliant futures ahead of them seemed a perfect solution.

I'm not posting about this to denounce anything. I know for a fact that the high majority of the Closeteers are girls, and that they're from all around the world, meaning that their conditions are very diverse.
I'm not sure how to go about this. First, I'd like you all to take a moment to remember that all of the freedom you have today, people fought for it. Not just for women freedom; everywhere, people believing in the rightness of diversity, equality and tolerance have given their time, their energy and sometimes their life for you to enjoy what you have now.
On a more personal note, I know that a lot of you (both guys and girls) struggle with daily problems, and sometimes have to endure negative criticism from parents, teachers, coworkers, family or even friends - just as I have.
Don't ever let anyone make you believe that you're less worthy than them. For whichever reason they might bring up. The world was not made to be filled by a standard type of people fitting certain norms. Celebrate diversity. That's what makes the world go round.
I know from experience that being different can be very, very lonely. But that's part of the deal. Eventually you will find people that think like you, and will accept you for who you are, and not who they think you should be. It might take time, but friendships, like love, should be unconditional.
Talk. When you feel like there's a loud buzz in your head and things are just going around too fast, too dark, too hard, you need to talk to someone. Write. Even if just to get it out of your mind. The best way to get rid of bad feelings is to not let them chew on your heart all the time.
Should you ever feel the need to those out and need someone to help you through it, please don't hesitate to write to me. I'm a bit weird sometimes but I'm friendly :)

All of your weaknesses can be turned into strengths. Don't victimize yourself. This is your life. Whether there is something awaiting afterwards or not, it is up to you to make sure you're happy. Listen to your heart.
