AM I WEIRD?

I talked to myself many times, and yes, I answered to myself. I wonder how many of you have conversations with yourself. No doubt I feel lonely and isolated many times, and I wonder if will find MY PERSON one day.

It has to do a lot with feeling that constant question of " WOULD HE ACCEPT ME WITH EVERYTHING THAT I AM? WOULD HE BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MY PAIN? WITH MY ANXIETY? WITH MY RAMBLING?

I LAUGH A LOT! And I like that about myself because I have fun with myself, I AM PROUD OF MYSELF, because I have managed to find wonderful coping skills to survive, and so, YES, I tell myself, I LOVE YOU!

NO DOUBT, I'm imperfect, full of asterisks, commas, exclamation points, and yes, question marks, but....with my rambling I SEE MY SHINING, MY CONNECTION TO ALL THAT IT IS, MY HELPING MANY PEOPLE AROUND ME.

I don't have to ask if I have made a difference in this world, I KNOW IT. Is this pretentious? Is this crazy? Is this WEIRD?

AM I WEIRD?

I know you are there, I have my open arms willing to hug you, and my eyes sparkle connecting with my SPECIAL YOU, and with all of you. Simply, I AM ALIVE!

AM I WEIRD?

Maybe I am a WEIRD SURVIVOR, #survivingstill

AM I WEIRD? FEEL ME! because I am willing, to be the supporting EQUAL SIGN, that knows it will never be EQUAL because we'll be changing every day, but SO willing to LEARN each day.

AM I WEIRD?

Because somehow, I AM HERE, even in my dreams. My subconscious lives with the second-by-second fight or fly, while my consciousness knows: THE RIVER OF LIFE is rocks, fish, water, atoms, energy, and dirt.....WE, THEY, US, YOU, and Me.

BESOS from ...AM I WEIRD?

From my Instagram feed, courtesy of: @nikkimiles_
I acknowledge my white privilege and I want to make it count, by learning and using my platforms to advocate for anti-racism. As a white person it can be uncomfortable to talk about this because you’re worried about saying the wrong thing. But turning a blind eye to racism and staying silent is racism. Tolerating racism is racism. We all need to do better and become actively anti-racist. Look beyond our own discomfort and change the narrative. Be the change, not the problem. Educate, unlearn, donate, advocate and use our privilege to speak up for racial justice, equality and peace 🤎🌻 ✨

Stop the hate!

Hate- There is no room for it
There is a lot going on in the world today. A LOT! The last thing we need to do is run around with hearts full of hate. Yes, there are situations that call for outrage. They should be handled.

The problem is everyone hates everyone. STOP IT! Stop teaching your children to hate someone because of their color. Stop doing it yourself. Color is just that, a color. I do not care if you are yellow with green polka dots, you deserve to be treated the same.

All people of one race are not bad, all people of one culture are not weird. All employees in one profession are not bad. There are bad apples in every single group.

Stop practicing hate. Stop teaching hate. Stop! We do not have room for that right now. Actually, we do not have room for that EVER.

Every single life matters. EVERY. SINGLE. LIFE. Not just blue lives, not just black lives. EVERY LIFE.

Teach love. Teach peace. Teach your children that just because someone looks different, or has a different career does not mean they are bad. Teach them to love & respect people. Teach them kindness.

Stop the hate. Teach love & kindness. Teach respect. It will get everyone a lot farther in life!

aggh super tired after school

#Depression #Anxiety  #LGBTQIA  
 augh super long day at school, we had MAP testing for 3 hours in a row. It sucked. also...my first-hour teacher made a homophobic comment so I ran into the bathroom crying. my friends came after me and we went down to the counselor's office so I could talk to the school counselor. She helped me a lot. She talked to my teacher, they got in trouble :). I am surprised that they said what they said because our school is like 'we accept everybody, no bullying' you know that kind of stuff. I was completely shocked. but i'm doing better, no worries.
