So I'm torn, why? A part of me wants to shout out and ask people what the hell they are doing? and a part of me wants to just keep to myself and not rock the boat. It's tearing me up. I feel like I have a lot to say and my experiences in my life has given me perspective on life, not in the world views but personal flight. I understand personal pain, I understand being destructive, and I wish I could reach out to people to come back to responsibility for one's own instead of trying to be popular or worried to what other people think about it. So I decided to put myself out there and express myself based on love for humanity!!
Worry about yourself first. Be selfish to yourself and understand what you stand for then what your family, friends and society thinks. It's okay to not fit into the world mold or maybe you want too but make sure you are not killing your integrity. Never sacrifice your integrity for someone else even if other people will condemn you because from experience when you sacrifice your own integrity and it will eat you up more than someone else will. It's not worth it..trust me! Not worth it. Stay true to yourself. No one can live your life but you.
I could be misguided at times and I don't have all the answers but I do know what's in my heart. Life is hard and I know from experience that it is. I also over came some pretty hard situations but it also lead me down to just accepting my personal being. Being an individual, my own unique self then trying to be popular because I say this lightly, being popular changes on a daily basis but being you takes a lifetime. You can see it happening in fashion magazines, TV, Movie's and the media. All those outlets keep changing but you as a person in your heart never do.
My hope is to touch people by there hearts. To remember the humanity from the heart then from religion, country, race, and sex. We are all people, we all have hearts, we all have feelings and that's what I would like people to think about. Come back to looking at life from the hearts point of view with the brain to guide us to be better people.
Our entitlement is to be the best we can be by being responsible for ourselves and not taking other people for granted. Taking something from someone else because you think you deserve it more than they do is not an entitlement to yourself but a self need to be better than they are. It's the "I want" everything and I don't care who I hurt in the process attitude.
Sure, there are some situations where you have been wronged like someone stealing from you and criminal activities against you like rape, murder and such. You should get your justice but not if it's going to crush your heart and you end up losing your integrity. Everyone has there own life stories and we all act differently in the same situation by the environment we all grew up in. Showing compassion and understanding we are all different will make life go a little bit easier. I don't expect someone to know what I'm thinking. I don't expect to be treated the same as someone else with a different skin color, I understand being a women not having a voice in other Countries. I understand that life's not fair and I don't expect it to be but what I can expect is I'm a individual with personal feelings from my OWN life experiences and they are different from YOURS.
So is it fair to say we should all think the same or be a collective? Be the same. religion, with looks etc? Should we all act the same with everyone around us? The answer is No!! Why? Because it will never happen! Why? Because we are all free thinkers as individuals and we all see the world differently as an individual. Please be the best you can be and let other people be the best they can be.
Cindy Lauper says it all in her song True Colors:
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Take care, Peace!!
