Reasons

I started this blog as a way to learn about myself. As I write each blog I realize it isn't about just me. Yes, I may be the subject in a lot of the posts but I am learning a lot about the world, beliefs, family, friends, love, etc.

The world is huge and if you keep your head in your own cloud you won't ever see it. I used to do that, I thank God I don't anymore. I hung out with some friends a while back and they were bashing homosexuals. I wanted so badly to get up and leave. I finally said, "Hey, I have a lot of gay and lesbian friends." I do not know of another time when a table got so quiet.

It made me think about how much I have changed. How much I have learned. They were me. I was them just a few years ago. I was so shocked and honestly felt alone. These were my friends and I was completely disconnected from them.

The odd thing. They are Christians. I don't see how judging someone, talking about someone and degrading their whole life is Christian. I know, the Bible says Adam and Eve...not Adam and Steve. But, like I get told...God created Doctors we shouldn't disregard them because we don't use them. So please, just because you don't understand the homosexual nature you think it is okay to be cruel.

I know this blog started as a reason why. But, I can shift gears. My gear went out to my friends who once where afraid to share who they were. A lot like me (no I am not a lesbian). This is in the sense of sharing my past.

Too often are we afraid to open up to who we really are because we fear the judgement and persecution of others.  God already knows your heart, soul and mind. If the people want to judge; let them. You are strong and you can endure.

So, let's show the world who we are. Shout from the roof top. No more hiding. This is for every person, no matter what you may be holding back. If you are afraid to let go of a loved one who has passed, tell the world. If you are afraid to let someone know you love them; tell them. We only live for a while. Why waste it.
