Think Globally, Act Locally and Take Risks

I realize that I am not an activist but I would want to be one. I like the quote "Think Globally, Act Locally." The reason why is that I live in a small town in Maine. I do live near the largest city here, but I don't have a car and no the bus does not come around in these parts. I want to get out and get my feminist hands dirty but I don't know where to start. I guess I start here. I did start at my computer and I may have to edge further into my town. I really don't know what I can do here, in this town and towns surrounding. I feel so useless not knowing what goes on, if anything. All I can think of is is activism in a social manner. I have to face it, I am not that social right now (meaning I am not in a social setting in all hours of the day.)

I am not in college so I can't act there. The nearest college is pro-green, pro-feminist and pro-democrat. Everything that I am (skip the democrat. I am Independent.) If I wanted to go and speak out my boyfriend would have to take me. I am sure he wouldn't care.


I know I changed this blog into a more of a informative and insightful (hopefully) place to go. But today I have been feeling down. I have been pondering whether or not I want to go to college. Not to mention I have been trying to find a better way other than blogging to fulfill my activist hunger. I also have been currently out of a job for a while, well, not a good job that is. To make matters worse, I came down with the flu and soon after my boyfriend followed. So for a few days we were both dead.

I have this urge to throw myself in feminism. I want to be this awesome Feminist Witch. I want some kind of guidance via coven. BUT, I feel like I have this huge block in front of me.

I have always wanted to join a Reclaiming coven. I did have this super cool opportunity to go to their classes, but I never have the time or the money to go (I didn't have the money the first time and I was working at the second time the classes were scheduled in Portland). As you can plainly see I am not much of a risk-taker. I think that this should change. I blame my parents (laughs).

I should live in the now. Not the then. I should take each opportunity that comes my way. I am so worried about making the wrong decision, that I am not making any at all. I think it might be time to decide.
