Forgive me. I had to cut the top it was too personal to post. Please enjoy the rant.
I however, have no hidden agenda. I am face value. I am a
rarity. I have gotten hurt many times before because of it. But with my odd
type of crazy, that every woman in my family has been gifted, I am insane
enough to continue being the wild free-spirited person I am. I am a rarity that
preserves no matter the emotional or sexual abuse I’ve experienced in my
lifetime.
So when I act. I act with love and compassion of humans; unfortunately
impulsively. Because that’s what I want (love and compassion), and that’s what
I need. Frankly, I want to change the world, and it’s the dreamer in me that
thinks that I can. But to first change the world you have to be the change in
the world.
I know I should be scared walking out at night, at people’s
houses that I don’t know, people at my house, getting into a strangers’ car to
go somewhere I’ve never been. It is never been okay for a pretty skinny white
girl to go where the wind takes her because it is “too dangerous”.
While I see the statistics, and I myself have gotten hurt
over these things… I won’t stop. Because to stop would mean society has won in breaking
my spirit. The night may not have been awesome, but I could’ve ended up
somewhere where I was in a position to help someone that needed me. If I want
the world to change, I have to be change. I have to be that one NOT shitty
person with a hidden agenda. If enough people experience that, they are given
hope. Hope has the ability to change the world.
Its not that I love you wholly, because I do. But I have a love
for the potential this world could be. And I want to have an impact on it not
just as a teacher… but a minor statistic that creates a butterfly effect that
can change the world’s future outcome. I want to be the person that buys the
person a meal that needs it, a mentor at a bar after your divorce papers went
through, a voice of reason in a life decision, someone to tell you look
beautiful, someone to tell you to get your shit together. These things can come
from strangers, we’ve just forgotten and become so guarded that we are no
longer a community. We have lost our hope in humanity.
I want to restore that hope, maybe not completely. But
maybe, if I inspire enough people in my lifetime to inspire more people in
their lifetime, there will become a nation of people who are genuine,
compassionate, and fucking give a shit.
