Through the bistle and bustle of the streets, the world never ceases to define people and discern them from their right to self-expression. There is always laws that tell you to do this or not that and there are personal morals, commitments, and rules that you must adhere to. However, life is so much more and it all starts with you. Parents, mentors, and friends will all influence you in a certain way and may even command you, which I believe happens all TOO much! Yes you come from a family, we all do. But you are still your own person. Be careful because the world also has an image of what you should become, but you are so special the way you are and can choose for yourself what to be. We see casting out, shunning, disrespect, discrimination, and persecution all around us. It is wrong, no one- absolutely no one has any right to tell you what to be- just you. So, this day I encourage everyone to stand up for yourself and be strong because you mean so much. Have the perspective that you can be anything and that will help you trump anyone elses negative opinion. Good luck, it does help, I know.
Happy Monday!
