Thinking Differently
Hey, it's me again. I'm sure you are tired of all the articles that I write, but I just can't seem to keep my fingers from writing down all of my thoughts. This week has brought many emotional challenges and I have had to work hard to keep my head on straight. The obstacles that I was faced with made me think of my past, and mainly my childhood. I began to reflect on the way my parents raised me and the morals that they have driven into me. I have to thank my parents for keeping me grounded and for teaching me that there is more to life than what you possess. They have taught me to look further than the outter appearance of a person when first faced with them. Although my parents have their separate views from me, I still can use their teachings in my everyday choices. I know that it's hard for them to accept my sexual preference, and I don't expect them to ever fully understand what is going on inside of my head. However, at the same time they cannot expect me to fully understand what their beliefs and thoughts are. My mother believes that publishing these articles on the internet is wrong, and I respect her choice. I don't expect my parents to understand the need for me to reach people through my writing. But I have been experiencing a lot of positive feedback about my writing and I encourage others to post some on my site as well. Some people are afraid to speak out about themselves, and also are afraid that their thoughts are not worth anything, however there is no wrong thought, just wrong actions. You can think whatever you like, it's your choice to believe in whatever you do believe in. However it's the next person's choice to disagree with you, and you have to accept that. And I am willing to post other views on this site as long as they are not overly offensive to anyone. I know that there is a world out there that does not accept homosexuality, and there is a world out there that doesn't accept other races. It's our world, and we can only change it if we realize that it does exist and we cannot forget that it does. If you turn your back on something, it won't go away. You have to turn, face it, and deal with whatever it has to dish out. And the main reason for my articles is to help people deal with homosexuals, and to realize that not all homosexuals are the stereotypes that are protrayed on tv and glamourized on film. I possess many qualities that are stereotypically gay, however gay isn't who I am. I am a person, who happens to be gay, not a gay person.
