Smile like it's been a while



Cause it has been a bit of a while hasn't it my dearss...I have missed you dearly just been rather busy but largely lazy...but today was rather a chilled day so I've managed to get in the zone of organization...though not as fully as I intended to...Still have an article to write on a convention I attendend on Tuesday held by the British Youth Council. One of the really interesting workshops we took part in was Votes at 16. It's a hard one I kept going back and forth because I know that I have a strong passion for politics and initiatives such as British Youth Council share the same viewpoint HOWEVER even if you were to collate the number of youth councils/advisors/ parliaments they would be in the minority compared those who frankly don't have a clue. And to be honest I don't blame them, sorry to use the cliche but I believe it's the system. Ignorance is almost our default setting but it is only until we are fully educated and informed in our understanding that we can make an informed decision. I would love to see a curriculm where in which children are taught politics from a young age...year 3? So that parties...elections and parliament are common knowledge then maybe we'll see the voting turn out rise and an excitement and a thirst for politics, democracy and equality just as much as I do.

Well there's my rant lol.x

Off to Chinease in a bit to celebrate Mamaji and Papaji's 6year anniversary.x
