Only God Can Judge.

****This video does have strong language at times. I do not condone the use of such language, but I didn't make the video.


Throughout my life, I have never looked "normal". I've had to deal with plenty of prejudice due to it, and it doesn't bother me on most days. This isn't one of those days. I am about to be twenty two years old, when is it time for people to realize that I am not going through a stage anymore?

Some people like to bleach their hair, some people like to tan their skin, some people like to dye their hair brown, some people like to wear whatever clothes are popular in fashion magazines. Then, some people like to have interestingly colored or cut hair, some people like to put ink in their skin, some people like to get piercings.

I understand that by doing those second listings of items, you can scare of certain jobs. I get that, and if you decide you want a more "straight laced" job, or a job that won't be okay with you looking "different", then I highly suggest you don't do any of those things.

But why is it so hard for people to understand that expressing yourself to some people is more important than having a corporate job. I will say this over and over again, so I am going to bold it to escape the change of people not understanding, just because you want something, doesn't mean the next person does. Just because you want a corporate, traditional job, doesn't mean the next person does.

What you do for a living should ultimately make you happy in some way shape or form, correct? Whether it be that it makes you the money you want, or you get to do what you love. Who are you to say what that is for anyone but yourself? I understand that as loving humans, we want what is best for each other, but that doesn't mean you get to judge others based on how they look and say that they are never going to get a job that you've pre-chosen for them.

If you love someone, you need to except them for who they are. As long as they aren't doing anything dangerous.

Also, if you sit them down and tell them that they are out of hand for looking a bit different and tell them that they aren't ever going to be married because of it, then you need to seriously look in the mirror and ask yourself why you would say something so horrid to another person.

What happened to the golden rule? What happened to treating others the way they want to be treated?

I am sick and tired of certain people in my life not excepting me for me. I have been working my butt off for the past two years to support myself and try my hardest to get my life on track. We all make stupid mistakes, but I have been trying. I'm sorry I will never be the person you want me to be, but I will be the person God wants me to be, because He is all that matters. Family matters next, and I'm sorry but I can't be the cookie-cutter woman you want. I have to first be who God wants, and secondly be who I want.

You don't get to decide how other people think they should look, think they should make a living, and think they should live their lives. That is God's job, and it is his job as well to judge others.

I think this video explains it best, even though it is talking about the issues some people have with others calling themselves modified, but the point I am trying to make is still there. Even though I pain my skin with permanent ink instead of bronzer, and even though I cut my hair differently than yours, we are both changing the way we were naturally made to suit how we like to look. I don't judge you for your modifications, please give me the same courtesy.
