Day 3, Learning How to Leave my Comfort Zone

       Ahh, my good ole comfort zone how I love thy, but I'm starting to leave you more and more and I have to say I feels pretty damn good (lol). The more I come out of my comfort zone the more I seem to learn more about the world around me and the people in it. I love learning about the different point of views people have on an issues that affect the masses and how different people live and are treated in society.
       For example, women and their promiscuity have always been a deep and heated debate for as long as I can remember. The notion that a woman should be judged on how promiscuous she is or isn't is everywhere, in the media, in schools, and even in our homes. I too was taught at a young age that "boys will be boys" so you have to "cover up", "keep your legs closed" and try your best not to get on their "bad side". I believed this for a while and even joined in on some slut-shaming and tried to cater to their foolishness, but not anymore, I had to come out of my comfort zone to see the answer that has been there all along, women deserve their promiscuity and just as much as men do.
       If I never would have came out of my comfort zone I never would have seen this point of view and never would have been set free of this narrow-minded and "respectable" way of thinking. It just goes to show you just because you were taught a certain way, it doesn't mean it's right or even right for you. Coming out from your comfort helps to see more of a world that you never knew about and connect with people you never thought you would or could connect with :) <3.
