I’ve been homeless & spent 5 months sleeping on a cold floor waking up with back pain every single morning. I’ve been so hungry I ate people’s left overs from their trash. I’ve been raped since I was 7 years old & more times in my life. I’ve asked strangers to buy me pads online
I’ve been so hungry, slept on an empty stomach so many times that my body is now able to go a whole day with only water and no food.
I’ve been humiliated and had my dignity stripped from me so many times that walking with my head up high comes naturally to me now because I have forced my brain to think that way. My confidence didn’t come from social media selfies & people telling me how great I am.
I give compliments easily and see the beauty in the people you call ugly because I know what it feels like to be called ugly, not good enough, too skinny and not worthy of your love because I am not your perfect idea of “beauty”
I visit schools motivating little kids telling them that this perfect stranger believes in them because I know what it feels like to grow up being told you are not good enough and will never amount to anything. To feel alone in this new world as a child.
I try my best to be a nice human to people who can’t do anything for me because I understand that the true reward from that will come from my karma. I chose to be the light in the world because I know that this world can be a very dark place.
I chose to be the change I want to see. I chose to be kind because the world already has enough meanies who make it their life mission to make others more miserable than they are.
Even when people treat me bad & make me cry I try to remember that people are not their actions. Those people are fighting their own demons, they don’t know how to deal with them so mistreating others is just a reaction of them not knowing how else to react to their own darkness
Be kind & treat people with the same respect you expect, without asking them what they do for a living, what car they drive or trying to figure out how many degrees or PHDs they have. True character is defined by how you treat people you believe have less than you.
Educate people & share your knowledge without trying to make others feel less intelligent by asking questions like “How do you not know that?” Nobody likes a know-it-all.
People who are really intelligent don’t feel the need to prove it to the world every chance they get.
