//

It’s so beautiful how people love each other // It’s so beautiful how people can accept and love their body, personality, voice, and so much more // We were born into this world with no idea what would lie ahead of us yet we are making this world so beautiful and kind // There is hate; of course, there is hate why wouldn’t there be? // Hate will not overcome us though because there are too many beautiful and lovely humans out there to defeat the hate // You can defeat the hate just by complimenting someone, or saying ‘thank you’ to the person who brought you your food, or smiling at every stranger you see // It takes time to love each other and ourselves // It takes a life time // It’s horrible I know, but I know you’ll get through this // I promise // I have not defeated all the hate that is coursing through my body // It’s still there sticking to my skin, my cells, my veins, and my brain // Hate waits until I am loving myself to the fullest // Then he makes his attack // Starting at the skin and he seeps into my cells and veins // Through the cells and veins Hate makes its way to my brain // Where he can interrupt my thoughts and make me deliberate my thoughts // Make me think of the bad place // I fight it // Sometimes I win and sometimes I don’t // But, it is okay to lose because you learn from your loss and when he comes back you will be ready and won’t let him win // It’s so beautiful to see people grow from hatred to love // Don’t get me wrong it is not beautiful to see someone hate their self, but it is beautiful to see them grow // We humans start out as a seed in the ground // Then we begin to sprout and at times we will take a while  to grow into our beautiful self // But, you will get there and you become the most amazing flower humans have ever seen // That is what is beautiful. Not the hate but the growth
