Today I arrived (late) to what I thought would be another monotonous day at high school. When I arrived to history we started with a journal the topic was this quote it read, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
-MLK
At first this seemed to be just another topic, but as I thought and began to write I realized that no truer statement could be give. When you allow yourself to become nothing more than another face in the crowd, when you allow your life to fall into a daily monotony you lose sight of your own opinions and goals.
Don't forget where you want to be and what you need to do to get there. Because when you allow people to tell you what to think, when you allow the people who are afraid to be different and so in turn they make fun of you and allow them to win. Then you lose those goals, you lose the person you are, and above all else you lose the person you wanted to be. And in the grand scheme of life there's not a more important thing you could allow yourself to lose. So stand strong, care not what others thing push those away who hinder you and pull close those that lift you up, and in turn you will lift them up. So stand strong and do so fearlessly.
