I will not be quiet! I will not back down from what I believe in! I will not be told what to do... it goes against what I believe in! What I worked hard for and struggled for! I will not be repressed again! I will not be pushed back to the shadows. I deserve t be heard. I deserve to feel important.
There is a lot of things going on in the world right now. It’s a very interesting time. If we allow it to be a scary time it will be one. Do we listen and sit back or lash out in violence, hate, and revenge... were damned if we do and damned if we don’t! So what is the important thing to do? Fuel the fire and make it worse? Cause more fights among us fighting for the cause so the cause gets dampened and isn’t even heard? Or, be silent and let someone else fight the fight? I don’t have the answers and surely there isn’t a script for these times were living in. It isn’t about being right or wrong. It’s about listening to people, seeing people, allowing them to express how they feel and why they feel that way. It all can be done with peace and understanding if we settle down and allow them to have the floor to speak for a moment!
There is good and bad in everything. Just like there is two sides to every story. Anything can be misconstrued or bent to favor whatever side you want it to. We can argue, fight, be hateful, break stuff, and become violent, but what for? Why violence and destruction? How does that help the cause? How does someone rudely telling you you’re wrong help the cause? How does leading with hate and being malicious help?
Where do you draw the line? “Helping” doesn’t always help the cause! Sometimes the cause gets lost or diluted in “trying to help” the cause. In the times that we are living in right now we all need to take a step back. We all are not perfect. We all have done wrong. We aren’t always right. People are entitled to their own opinions. You aren’t always going to agree with them and THATS OKAY!!! Its not about you right now!! So next time you think your helping... take a minute to think about if your really helping before you press that button or say those words out loud!
I challenge you all to think differently today! Be open to understanding someone else’s opinions and why they feel that way. Listen to them! Lead with love and kindness. Give someone a compliment. Let someone know you hear them, see them. That you notice them and appreciate them!
Everyone deserves to be heard, seen, noticed, and appreciated!!
We all bleed the same color blood🩸
We all have a different story!! All of our feelings are valid! All of our pain is valid!
This isn’t easy!! But be the change you wish to see! The change starts with YOU!!!
we all deserve love!!
Change will happen at the right time!! Stay tuned. Stay positive! Stay healthy! Trust the journey! Spread love, not hate!!
The best is yet to come!
