Tonight I am feeling outraged. The subject of my outrage is not nearly as important as my realization that I no longer know how to express my anger. So instead of ranting, I thought I would post a song that always helps to bring me back to my center.
The words that inspire me from this song are as follows:
"I am never broken" - I sincerely hope I do not break, I fear I am breaking; I've broken too many times over the last few years. I want to stand tall once again. I do not want to be defined by my breaks; I want to be defined by my strengths.
"We will fight, not out of spite, because someone must stand up for what's right" - I must keep telling myself that what I am doing is right, even in the face of ridicule. I must remember that no one will hear me if what I say is expressed in anger. Sometimes it is difficult to not want to rant in anger and in pain, especially when you feel like no one is listening when you are speaking with sincerity and compassion.
"In the end only kindness matters" - I don't want to be angry anymore, I want to reveal my compassion and kindness, it is far more rewarding to be kind than to be cruel.
Hugs to all that are struggling to be heard! Jane Doe 02
