"Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down." - Martin Luther King JR

This inspirational man was predicting the change he was sparking fire to. He burned the worlds most touchy subject and added light letting the world see what it was really doing when being prejudice. Prejudice is a big impact in my life because I'm not a typical religion or sexual orientation. I had to deal with bullying in middle school and I had a very similar attitude. I wanted to spread tolerance and I wanted to be accepted like everyone else. I think Martin Luther King Junior would be proud of how far we have come with acceptance, but I think he would be disappointed that we haven't come farther. I think he would be pushing for tolerance still today. We need to do that for him.

Screaming Silence

Silence blares so loudly. It suffocates me like being wrapped in a heavy blanket; covering my face and making movement impossible. Silence is louder than words and its screaming at me. Screaming uncertainty and fear and lies and betrayal. Sometimes we don't even know we are being silent and we unconsciously torture the people with our lack of words is effecting. Don't leave questions unanswered and problems not tackled. Silence is more painful than the harshest words.

My Difference

Our generation is always told if we want to see a difference then we have to be the difference we want to in the world. That is the truest thing you have been told. It may be very hard and discouraging but we have to stick to it because one day it will pay off and we will see a difference. It will be slow and tedious but as you change, the people around you will change, and the people around them will change and so on and so forth. So go out there and make the difference you want to see.
