Do What Society Tells You
Are you living a life that you want to live, or one that others expect of you? This is a very thought provoking question that has been haunting me ever since I had first heard it. Society tells us so many things – so many certain ways to live our lives. Pink is for baby girls, and shades of blue are for boys. Little girls are also only supposed to play with dolls, while little boys are to stick with their toy trucks and mud. Everyone is assigned to their designated cliques in
The Unexpected Pup
