Like It or Not

Somebody Has Got to Say This

Like it or not, somebody has got to say this.

You. Are. Not. Perfect.

Yes, you are great for being you (the seldom few who actually are), but - fro Pete's ssake - would everyone just STOP walking around calling each other names, pushing each other around, and just generally acting like a bunch of immature, egomaniacal, self-centered idiots. Don't even try to pull a "That's not me," "Like you haven't done that," or a "This is stupid." Because we've all been that person at one point or another, at least I admit I'm wrong, and this is honest.

If we would all just admit we were this person - that we can't do this on our own - then we could start a freaking revolution!

We can stop the bullying! We can stop the fighting! We can stop the hatred!

Geez, people, have you even tried?!

All we do is whine. And complain. And throw a fit when life doesn't go our way.

People look at our generation and see a bunch of spoiled brats who are all going to end up starting a nuclear war over some stupid picture on Instagram.

Get your heads out of your butts, peel your eyes away from the screens, and listen long enough to realize that change doesn't come in "just a minute!"

Change starts now!

And just because you're "just another person," doesn't mean you can't be a part of that change. Every great rhetorical work oof art starts with one word. Every word starts with one letter. Every letter starts with one line. Every line starts with one itty bitty point. So what if it's small or goofy or a mess; that point still made somethingn amazing and beautiful and revolutionary.

If anyone EVER tells you that you'll never be good enough to be that point, just laugh, say, "God Bless," and "watch me."

Each of you are that point.

Together, we can make something amazing.

Something beautiful.

Something revolutionary.

But this won't work if we keep going around acting on our first "gut instinct." God gave you a brain for a reason! Think!

How many times have you been called a bitch, a whore, a skank, a slut, a ho, a cunt, ugly, fat, lame, loser, stupid, insignificant, ass, jackass, asshole, dick, dickhead, fucker, mother fucker, faggot, dyke, retarded, unimportant?

How many times has someone told you to go kill yourself, they hope you die, hope you cut, go cry to whoever, you'll never be Loved, never be good enough?

How many times have you listened?

Be honest. How many times has it hurt?

Trust me. It doesn't get any easier.

Yes, I haven't cut or tries to kill myself in two years and six months. (Since January 21, 2012)

Doesn't mean every day I don't fight the temptation to go back.

Yes, I haven't been annoerxic in one year, six months, and three days. (Since January 18, 2013)

Doesn't mean every day I don't fight the temptation to go back.

Don't think my story is just a fluke.

Don't think that can't be you.

My journey to change hasn't been easy, but it's been worth it.

Trust me.

You can do it.

We can do it.

Together. We can change the world.
