I'm tired of...
...feeling like I have to apologize for what I believe, who I vote for and why I think the way I do. I'm tired of being belittled, made fun of or teased about personal choices I have made since yesterday, last week, month, year, or in all the years in my past. I am tired of talking about things that I only partially know about and things that I don't care about at all. I'm TIRED of being in a MINORITY because I BELIEVE in THINGS.
I want to be in the majority for once. I want to have the same view as everyone else and be able to just say what I think without worrying who is going to take the next shot at me. I am TIRED of FIGHTING.
I am tired of people telling me their atheists as if it's some sort of weapon that will make me angry, upset or send me flying back home to get my holy water and rosary. You know something? I realy, really DON'T CARE. I am tired of Christians telling me how I can be better, how I can TRULY please God by doing x, y, or z. I am tired of making excuses because I don't know or understand some things.
I am tired of students assuming I am stupid because I am not in school. I am tired of students who DON'T WORK and whose PARENTS are PAYING for EVERYTHING thinking that I don't work hard just because I don't go to school -- I work TWO JOBS. So get your head out of your ass and realize how absolutely LUCKY you are to be in your position. I am tired of being treated like a second-class citizen because I don't have the all-important leather jacket proclaiming my own natural superiority over other earthly beings.
I am tired of the left implying that if the other side of the scale gets voted in - anywhere in this whole, MESSED UP WORLD - the sky will fall, alcohol will be universally banned and women everywhere will be forced to wear burkas and have millions of babies because THE RIGHT = slavery, opression, regression and DEATH. You know what I have learned being raised a religious person in the Western World? I have to be more open-minded than any other group. I have to PROVE that I am not one of 'them', who stands up for whatever the hell it is they believe in, however unpopular or odd it is. Because they don't make apologies I feel like I have to. And I don't want to. They aren't my fault or my responsibility. They are the fault of a society that doesn't understand that trying to crush the idea will only make it stronger. Trying to crush the idea has never worked, and will never work. Accept their right to have,love, believe the idea -- it might just fade.

I am so tired of people.

Hey Sargwa... you are in a majority. You're like the rest of us, working hard to get by, to understand our life, to feel hurt, to feel anger, to feel love, to feel happiness and to be loved.

(hugs) If you really feel like you need to breakdown, you can come here and hide for as long as you want.
