The apprehension and fear I feel looking out the window knowing I will have to step out into a world built on a system that isn't set up for me to succeed. For me the world isn't safe. I might get accused falsely, harrassed, be treated aggressively and perhaps even be sexually objectified. I will certainly be rejected, undervalued, talked down to, disrespected and be unappreciated despite working hard. Few will inquire about how I feel, listen or hear what I have to say. It's too risky to ask questions or try to understand, if people do so they run the risk of making themselves feel uncomfortable. However, many will try to profit off my hard work and gifts. Despite all this I work to change things, to be a better person who is generous, kind and loving to myself and other people. This isn't a cry for attention, it's the reality I've experienced. This is the world I've been living in. How would you feel if this was your reality? Or if a family member of yours was treated this way? I do not want pity. It's simple I want things to change. LISTEN. Educate yourselves. Open the eyes of your understanding. The world needs more LOVE, COMPASSION and EMPATHY for all human beings regardless of race, sexual orientation, ethnic background, physical abilities, socioeconomic class etc. We wouldn't treat people like garbage if we had more of this. Stop the injustice and inequality. LOVE. 💞❤❤❤🙏🏾
