The world is brutal nowadays, it has always been challenging, but right now, especially there seems to be more judgment, less acceptance, more criticism over the past year than ever before.
We live in a world that says, if you disagree with me", if you do not accept my morals," my values, my beliefs, religion, my sexuality, and my growth, you are horrible, and you suck!"
"you don't care about anybody!"
You don't support me! You don't understand me!"
We live in a world where people say they accept themselves and don't care what anybody says, but they don't mean it! They're not confident, and they take the judgments to Heart.
I know that true confidence and genuine support and love for yourself would mean that you don't need to celebrate and flaunt your religion, your sexuality, your morals, your values, and your beliefs!
You don't need to post your sexuality or come out on social media; if you truly love who you are, you will be okay if people disagree with you, support you, ignore you, judge you.
Some things are meant just to be kept to yourself, just for you, just for your thoughts, opinions, and beliefs. Not all of those need to be out for everyone to congratulate you.
Stop expecting everyone to accept you, or support you, celebrate you, or agree with you.
No one has any obligation to accept your choices!
Just because someone may not agree with your values doesn't mean they don't love or care about you.
No one should be a jerk to you or mistreat you because of your choices, but you should not mistreat them because they don't understand, agree or accept everything you do. You don't need to expect everyone to celebrate everything you do. Don't try to love you based on whether or not someone will accept the Way You Are.
