Why should I become a Gypsy?

One simple answer – I’m still doing what I’m allowed to do instead of what I want to do. This seems to be vague, and yet the most common answer from girls. As education has become an equal right, the female population has grown more aware and literate with their curiosity doubling every moment. There is just one trait we ain’t proud of – incapability to keep secrets nor have any patience for the gradual revelation of anything suspenseful. We’re always attracted to the mystery ( just like we’re attracted to mysterious boys than the plain ones). She likes to explore, mingle up, talk with new people while escaping from the society that chains up women with curfews and dress codes, they way we sit, eat, laugh, or just anything out of the ‘normal’.

To be bound up needed to be questioned and hence was reasoned with the existence of bad men who are eagles watching out for their prey.

What if you can teach your sons to behave and your daughters to defend and not depend?

What if I’m controlled like a puppet, managing to be that perfect daughter, and yet harrassed and bullied on a private note while silenced till death?

What if I wear covering clothes and manage to not get raped? Would that mean I’m just a part of your materialistic possesion you want untouched and pure.

We are part of a society where talking about mensturation, a woman’s sexual desires, masturbation, a woman’s choice of prostitution, their bedroom stories is still a taboo in the same country that potrays it in the most beautiful artforms as carvings and scriptures that are meant divine.

To be released from the judgements, the prejudices, the expectations, I want to run free; Free from the world of power, respect, money when humanity has gone out of existence. I want to go around walking bare with enough possesion to comfort me. I want to break away from the complications life brings with everything else getting easy. Hopefully, one day I disappear into a land where all that mattered were human relations – a place where I go live and not survive.
