So many things I could write about today. Let me start with strength. I have a friend who fights every day. Not in the way you think. He fights to be heard, understood, accepted, loved and appreciated. And not just for himself, but for so many others. He's very strong mentally, emotionally and even works to by physically in tune with his self as a whole. But this isn't always good. Because if he stops, the regression happens exponentially faster than the progression. And when you are transgender, this can have disastrous consequences. I wish people would see people as people. Not one of us is perfect. We are all a version of different to each other. But that's no reason to outcast, judge, stereotype or classify.
We.
Are.
All.
People.
Atlas has to be strong. He's holding up the world. If he's not strong we all die. What a horrible place to be in if you are Atlas. What a tremendous responsibility? If he let up even for a moment, he'd have to live with the fallout of that decision forever. That is equally trying on the mind and soul as was his physical strength.
So next time you find yourself judging, stereotyping or classifying someones life decisions that don't even affect you at all, just try being a friend.
Seriously, you don't even spend that much time trying to "figure out" the things that do directly affect you. Like what kinds of food and liquid you put into your body. How safe is your driving? What's your BMI? A lot of this stuff you just do. You don't need to know how it all works, you just do it.
