A reminder to myself

Dear self, you sir are not eloquent nor are you skilled in the area of debate. You know this and yet you must be constantly reminded of the fact. You think that there is a simplicity to your ideas and the thoughts you want to convey but come on seriously that isn’t the point. So many of you social justice warriors are all the same, you see injustice and want to fix it. What you fail to either remember or grasp is that two people standing side by side will never see the same thing. Where you see oppression and discrimination others do not. Is this frustrating, yes but it is how reality works, get over it.

Look yours is an opinion and perspective of the world, it isn’t unique. In fact let’s be honest self, sometimes your opinions and perspective are borderline on comprehensibility and coherence. So please do not stress when you feel like you are grasping at straws or your point is not coming across; when it comes to debating or delivering a compelling argument you are a punch drunk boxer, blindfolded and wearing clown shoes trying to go a round with Muhammad Ali. So relax, put your ideas out there by all means, remember you do not have to be “right” or convincing just honest to yourself. Also please listen more than you speak, keep your mind open and I am sure we will have this conversation again in the near future.
