Perspective
December 16, 2021
I believe in common humanity
I believe I must be treated as a human
Why do people talk down to me
I am the same as every other human
in the way we breath
I have differences
I have rights
I will obtain my rights
I will get a job
I will go to school
I will be free
I am a minor
I am a woman
I am gay
I am grateful
I am agnostic
I forgive
I am human
I believe in common humanity

This piece is very close to my heart. Belief has been a big conflict in my Christian home. It took more time for me than my family to accept myself, my beliefs, and my sexuality. I wrote this as a reminder to be proud of who I am, and not judge others who have different perspectives.
