Feb 27. WEAR PINK-Say NO to BULLIES!!
Hey everyone. Hard to believe it's that time of year already. I was thinking about today, and what it means. I have no official ties to this day, except for my own experiences. Which I guess is enough in itself. It's important to acknowledge days like today, because it means people are aware. Awareness is a success in itself. Wear pink today, or stand up for the little guy, or be cool and say hi to someone you may not normally talk to. That's a huge deal when your in elementary or high school. unfortunately this weird phenomenon of "bullying" doesn't just magically go away the older you get. It manifests itself in different ways. And being older you have more experience, and a skill set to deal with those people. And well, you also realize that anyone over the age of 25 who has nothing better to do than pick on, or gossip about or "whatever" about, is just a massive douche bag anyway, so it's really just a poor reflection on themselves!! But when you are a kid, it's really tough to understand why it's happening, and it's even easier to blame yourself. So here's what I have to say. It has nothing to do with you! You rock! and you are amazing! and just go out there and be yourself! It will be hard, but reach out to friends, parents, or teachers and talk about it!! I promise you will be stronger for it....
I walked around my neighborhood and took a few photos to mark this day (click on title to see them). I hope you like them and I hope you all let your light shine, a little brighter today....
