I've had a few people who inspired me, but the one that comes foremost to my mind was my aunt. Long story short, she was a feminist before feminism was cool, and forged her own path in life. While she had nothing to do with the career I ended up in, she inspired me in a vastly more important way: single, child-free, and a business owner at a time when all of that was strongly frowned upon, especially for women, she demonstrated that I don't have to follow society's arbitrary rules to have a good life. (Meaning that yes, there are still rules, like "don't steal," "don't kick puppies," and "don't stand on the left side of the escalator," but other rules are stupid and needn't be acknowledged.) |
