RISE

We live in a world where everyone works so hard to fit in

Yet we live in a world where it is so easy to be rejected

We have all heard the word "no" thousands of times

All those "no's" are worth hearing when you finally get your first yes

As  human beings we crave acceptance 

But why? 

Why do we want to be accepted so badly? 

This world is so quick to reject us 

Yet it takes a lifetime for it to finally accept us 

So we do our best to fit in

To be like her

Or 

To be like him 

But who are you? 

One day, I hope that everyone on this earth can finally realize that we are all people

Yes we may be different in race, different in the way we think, and different in all aspects of life

But who is the jackass that made "different" such a bad thing? 

It's not. 

Being different is not a matter of being any less of a human being

Being different is what makes each and everyone of us unique

All of our quirks and all of our flaws were designed with a purpose

They make us who we are 

They make us different 

And THAT is what makes us UNIQUE!

There are always going to be people that are "better" than you.

They don't matter.....

Because there is one thing that they will never be.... 

That's you! 

Be extradornary! 

Be legendary!

Be kind!

But most of all.....

BE YOU!
