there is just so much i want to say and i don't know where to begin. i feel like i owe some people an explanation, i feel like i want to scream at the top of my lungs and get all my anger out, i want my sins to become human (haha sorry that's something from english) but all jokes aside..i am pent up and i need to be let free
i am sick of being walked all over. i am sick of hiding myself. i am sick of pretending everything is ok and that i am happy when i am not. i am sick of being taken advantage of. i feel as if i am not allowed to be the true me because of everyone else around me. when you have to hide yourself from everyone because of everyone then you know something is wrong because it shouldn't be this way. it is hard to say you don't care what people think of you when in reality it eats you alive. It’s so hard to live in a society that would rather pressure you into an image, style, persona as opposed to accepting you as the person that you are and that, in of itself, is gorgeous.
i hate the fact that I cannot say what I want to and what I am feeling in a free manner. There is a Bill of Rights in our Constitution and within that Bill of Rights there is an amendment, the 1st one in fact, and it states all peoples have the right to free speech, protest, religion, and press. And because of this amendment I have the right to state what I want in any manner I feel like stating it. You also have the right given to you inadvertently through the same amendment to choose not to listen to me. So then if I have the right to speak and you have the right not to listen why are there so many conflicts in regards to speech? The world has become too politically correct. Just because you were oppressed 400 years ago or in “your country” then that does not mean you can live today in America and want reconciliation. The damage has been done and in some ways corrected for the benefit of the whole not the individual.
I write in my journal as a way to avoid judgement. I can say what I want and how I want without someone telling me I am politically incorrect or that I offended them in one way or another. I write in my journal freely. I do not care who, what, or how I write just as long as I write. There is more to the reason that I write in my journal but there is no need to go there just know that ever since I’ve created this outlet I haven’t had so much self inflicted pain.
I now feel like I explained myself, my rant is over. If you are not happy with what I say..then do not listen.
