Current mood: contemplative
"Sometimes you have to STAND UP and FIGHT for what you BELIEVE in. And sometimes it takes even more courage to stay put. To hold your ground and refuse to be bullied...It doesn't change the bully. But it CAN change you."
In my years of elementary school, I was the ONE being bullied. I was the ONE being teased. I was the ONE who couldn't speak english straight. I was the ONE who had no courage at all. I was the ONE afraid of what everybody else might think. I didn't have any kind of social skills. I was timid, shy, and easily intimidated. I'm thankful I don't have any kind of disability.
In retrospect, throughout those times of being teased & bullied, I am ME because of IT. I am a DIFFERENT person TODAY because of IT. And I would FIGHT if need be; I'd REBEL if the situation surfaces. Now it's just a different set of issues to be fighting against- diseases, people who kill/rape/assault/etc, poverty, my past hauntings, and the list goes on and on...
If each person is granted ONE way to change the world, what would that ONE change of YOURS be?
Peace & God Speed,
Michelle
