World Book Day.
I've spent the whole of today dressed up as Peter Pan with people constantly asking me if I'm Robin Hood or Peter Pan, which got a little tedious by the end of the day.
I must admit though that today has been one of those days that's been brilliant for no apparent reason. Maybe it's because it's world book day, that has to be pretty high up on my best days of the year.
At the moment I'm reading 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' by Thomas Hardy. I thought it was one of those books that I should read because of its status but I have actually found it enjoyable and fairly interesting, even if the character of Tess does annoy me a lot.
Even in those times I cannot understand how someone can say that they are unworthy of living and they would be pleased if their husband killed them because it would mean that he saw her as his property and had the right to do that. Bizzare or what!!! I understand that the power in relationships was a lot more biased back then but certainly that can't have that much of an impact in your own head? Or maybe it can. Maybe the morals we are brought up in decipher exactly how we perceive ourselves and judge whether we are worthy or not.
I hope that no one ever has to feel the thought that they aren't worthy of someone else, for as soon as you believe that it becomes true.
