I have always had the desire to evoke social change. However, I live in a small town, belong to an incredible blue collar family, was lucky enough to be able to go to college but not a big one, and I feel stuck in my small world. I see the wh*** world begging for change, and I have tried the wh*** " change the world by changing yours" approach but it just isn't big enough.
I would like to innovate myself. As I was reading the list of ways to change things, I found so many that I can apply to myself. Instead of wishing for more than I have, and thinking that I can only make a difference if I had those "things", I will look to make change through what I already have. I have a voice (which is loud and free), I have a body (which is able and healthy) and I have a heart (which is true and just).
I will stand up and evoke. I am still getting the hang of this wh*** concept, I am hoping that I am evoking correctly, but I would love some feedback on what specifically I can to do to move this process in a correct way. I what to be so much, and when I watch videos from TED or the IdeaFestival, I feel so small. I feel that I could never think that big, that bold, that refreshingly new and exciting. I yearn for an exciting life, but not one of clubs or bars or drinks or clothes or what society tries to tell a 23 year old woman to want. I want to become a part of something more than myself, more than my town, or my state. I want to be remembered. I want so desperately to be smart and intellectual. I want to use my intelligence that I have worked so hard to attain, and be confident that it is all within me.
Help me.
