To a large extent, we’re all different. Race. Gender. Culture. Appearance. Values. Sexuality. In my opinion, differences should be celebrated. The fact that over 7 billion people are completely different, is to me, absolutely amazing. So why is it so hard for society to be accepting? We live in a world where people are afraid of being people. Where people are afraid to be bold. Where people are afraid of doing what they believe in. Where people are afraid of showing their true emotion. And yeah, this is also directed to me. I feel that the world has grown into such an incoherent atmosphere where people forget to stay true to themselves and pay the same courtesy to others at the same time.
Tomorrow, the 20th of May is Pink Shirt Day. A day of honesty. Kindness. Respect. Acceptance.
It doesn’t matter what colour your skin is, who your friends are, who you love, what you’re good at and not good at or what you look like. Because in the end, it’s YOU. You are You. and you’re the best at being you.
Regardless of age, gender, sexuality, appearance or race, we are all equal. No matter what. Be our own super heroes. Help each other out because we’re all in this together. Celebrate pink shirt day. For you. For me. For us. For each other.
Speak loud. Be proud. And wear pink because it’s you.
It’s also pretty cute too. :)
