| Ain't About What's Waitin' on the Other Side |
Hey FGs!
Okay, so I had this weird dream last week. Twice. It was one of those really freaky-deaky ones: I was at school, walking with a group of people, and all of a sudden my legs started to feel really heavy, and I could barely walk. I started falling behind, till I literally fell to the ground, crawling to keep up with everyone. Then I woke up.
And it really bugged me that I had this dream not once, but two times. It kinda haunted me. I mean, logically, it's not a big deal. My legs are working fine. But I knew that wasn't really what it was about. Lately, I've been scared that things really are falling apart. And I was scared that somehow, in some way, my dream would come true.
That stuck with me until I realized I was forgetting one important detail: when my legs stopped working, I kept trying to move forward. Even after I was crawling on the ground. Even when I thought I was being left behind. Of course, I know that my problems might not be as great as not being able to walk. But still. I feel better remembering that even in my dreams, I do have that power to keep moving forward. It's kind of like that Miley Cyrus song - It's all about The Climb. Or in my case, The Crawl.
But what about you, FG? Where do your dreams take you? Feel free to share in a comment (see the instructions on the side). And as always, I am available at The Fab Gal Myspace or by e-mail at fabgalsite@gmail.com.

| It's All About US... kinda |
Hey hey Fab Gals!
Do teens have too much power over culture? You're probably thinking: Um, heck no! But think about the amazing careers that some of the Disney stars have had over the last year. Not only is it cool for them, it's cool for us, because without us, it wouldn't have happened for them. Know what I mean?
But some people, silly adults I guess, are saying that we have too much power. I was reading this article in USA Weekend, called the "The Secret Power of Teens," and they basically called us out for having no respect for elders an for always expecting to get what we want. In their eyes, we are the "My Decade," as in Myspace, my phone, my stuff.
So maybe that's a little bit true. But you know what's totally awesome? We do have power - and we can use it for good. And I don't just mean voting for the Choice Hottie in the Teen Choice Awards. I think seeing teens we can relate to, like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, or even the Jonas Brothers, reminds us that teens can actually do something. More than just get up, go to school, and get homework. Writing to you has proved that to me, and I seriously hope you come across something that can prove it to you. We can do so much, y'all!
So remember FGs, you deserve to have nice things and a million Facebook friends, but don't take it too far, okay? Gotta have a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T. And the most important power is the one that is unique to you. But you already knew all that...
