Create the world you want to live in

I recently finished watching Dead End: Paranormal Park and if you still haven't watched it, Do It! It's honestly a really refreshing show. And one entire episode is a dedicated musical! I don't really relate to characters unless I can see myself represented visually or something similar, but this show has it all! So diverse! I could get in to all of the examples, but all you need to know is that if you feel that you never see people who look like you, or think like you represented in media this show is for you!

Which brings me to my point? Why is it that it's taken so long for a show like this to come out? A show that challenges gender norms? Challenges the way we see things like social anxiety, microagressions, and the such on screen? I feel like the fault lies on me, or to be more exact, society(us). We become comfortable with the status quo. We start to believe that whatever the world is now is fine. I mean, we can't change it?

I've recently had this reawakening on the way I view ambition. And now I see this term as more of a verb. Ambition is something you work toward, it's not something you think about and then tell yourself "that's too big." But when you compare the ambition of a Guinness world record holder, stacking enough cups to yet again break another world record, why can't our ambitions be the same. Why if we simply tell the world, "I, along with everyone around me, we are going to change things for the better". It is a lofty idealists sentiment. And I think there is where it holds the most power.
