A Slight THOUGHT.
Art : YOU.
By Sakuan.
These rumblings of mine might put me in trouble, they are destined to put me in trouble, how sad is that, just because I dare to think I might get punished for that, that has always been something that I am scared to ever encounter. I have so much respect for people that deal with that on the regular basis and come out as normal human beings. I haven’t experienced that yet to the extent that it became detrimental to my life. Nobody has ever gone out of their way to make sure I don’t exist in our society, but these writings might put me there someday, I know this for a fact because that is what we human beings do, when you don’t agree with someone somehow we feel like they are not good for our society, granted you might be right but it is never the case in all disagreements you have with someone. I might be wrong on this but I doubt it since there have been way too many examples of this, especially in this era of cancel culture. The name is Penny by the way.
I don’t care if I get in trouble for whatever it is that I say, all I care about is not living in fear, that has always been my story since I was knee high, I always wanted people to like me for, I did everything that was expected of me and I thought to myself, maybe if I do this they will accept me, and at first they did or at least that is what it felt like. Then I realized one thing, once you identify with something it is your duty in some sense to defend that thing. I found myself going above and beyond trying to defend this thing that I thought was right, and I didn’t get to the conclusion that it was right by rational thought, I came to that conclusion because it was the thing that accepted me when no one or nothing else did. I remember sitting back and asking myself why I did what I did and it did not make sense, it is equivalent to supporting someone whether they did right or wrong because they were family and that is what you did when it came to family. Sometimes you have to let them go, and that my friends is a hard pill to swallow.
Have a good day,
Yours truly,
Penny.
