I want to be a Stargirl. I want to sign my name with a little yellow star and a blue girl with a triangle dress. I want to "wash my mind." I want to have a wagon that keeps track of my emotions. I want my wagon to always be full. And I want not to be embarrassed when my wagon is empty. I want to be fearless, I want to be Stargirl.
I feel that everyone needs a Stargirl, wants a Stargirl, and is a Stargirl. Everyone has the potential to be a Stargirl, everyone has the courage, everyone just has to find it.
But what would happen if everyone was a Stargirl? Everyone got to be a hero? A fantasy? A perfection? Then no one would really be a Stargirl. It would have to be the person who decides NOT to be a Stargirl that truly is the Stargirl. Or maybe the Moongirl? Or the Sungirl?
What is a Stargirl anyway? Or who? Or maybe where? Is there a Stargirl in this World? In this town, in this school, in this home, or that home? Or is there no such thing? Maybe we're just girls, or boys, or women, or men. And all we can do is wait for a Stargirl to come along. Or for one of us to step up and anounce that they are the Stargirl. But what if a Stargirl doesn't show up? And no one breaks away and becomes the Stargirl. And all we are, are people. Who don't know what to do.
Maybe it's better not to have a Stargirl. Maybe no one needs her. Or maybe we do. A little.

sigh. the whole idea of stargirl is very philosophical in nature. what made me think the most was your question about what if we were are all stargirl (in our own ways). I wonder if that would ever be possible for humanity or if we are all programmed by something to want to fit in?
ReplyDeleteI loved that question too. When I finished my post and read it for a second time, I seemed to all of a sudden become the reader and totally zone out of the fact that I had created this post. I think this is one of my bet entries, I really enjoyed writing it.
