I am not really sure what crosses peoples minds when they decide that they are going to intentionally hurt someone for no reason. Whether it be their nature, some long-term hatred or boredom - I still can't understand why.
No matter what you do or say in this life you are going to be judged for it - positively or negatively, the judgement will be there and there is nothing we can do about it. Everything we do in life is constantly monitored by the people around us. We live in a society where there are "safe zones" and "danger zones". These safe zones are where you have to stick within the rules of society, do as everyone else does and you won't be noticed or picked out from the crowd - you won't be picked on or judged. You step into the danger zones by sticking out of the crowd then you're judged straight away. I feel that no matter how much campaigning we do about "anti-bullying" and no matter how many children we educate, it will always happen. It will be an on-going fight for the rest of our lives, which of course is bad news for people like me.
I have always stuck out from the crowd, not for bad reasons I just tend to go against everyone else's "normal" way of living. If there even is a "normal" way of living. No, I don't mean the clothes I wear or music I listen to. I am talking about my personality and voice. I'd love to think I have an abnormal way of thinking and I can inspire people with these flushes of inspiration or these crazy, weird ideas. Life would be boring for me if I wasn't ape shit crazy. I've been with people (yes, plural) who no longer want to be with me because I am "weird" but that has never stopped me being who I am, or doing what I love. For my whole life, I have had people attempt to bring me down for doing things I love and in some cases it has worked. People don't really understand how much words burn someone - the power a few words can possess could destroy someones life and people simple do not understand the severity of such phrases. For example this blog, I love writing in the hope that it will help people one day and when I grow up and ease into the world of adulthood, English is the career I wish to pursue. But someone came along and shattered these hopes and dreams with their negative opinion/judgement. And momentarily I wanted to stop writing forever.
However, people are entitled to their opinions and we should all fully accept that. What isn't okay is when people want to share these opinions in the hope of bringing someone down. This is what I don't understand - why would anyone want to purposely upset someone for doing something they love or being who they want to be? It couldn't possibly be someones nature to want to hurt people, I don't think anyone really has the ability to want someone to feel pain. A long-going enmity against someone - this is fully understandable but seriously? Grow some balls and move on. This is the real world, we don't have time for enemies and on-going fights. And boredom? If you are sat there and HURTING people out of boredom, then you my friend are going to grow up a lonely soul. Trust me.
For those of you who are like me and do get put down for doing something you love or being who you want to be, or for simply stepping into the danger zone...don't be disheartened. Most of all, DON'T STOP being who you want to be and doing what you love. After all...if people didn't do what they wanted to do because someone else thought it was stupid, then the world would be a pretty boring place. Even though I have been brought down many times, I am still going to prevail with my head held high. There are always going to be people who don't like you or the things you do and hey, that's their problem. If they have nothing better to do than bring you down, then you have to question who really has the advantage?
We're always going to be judged on everything we do and say - positively and negatively, there is no escape, that's just life. But without people prevailing and pursuing their ambitions the world would be a rather boring place.
