Notes to Self:
Be more accepting. I want people to accept me for who I am, whether they like me or not. And I need to do the same. Not everyone will make the same life decisions that I will make. And while I do not always agree with the choices they make, it is THEIR lives, and not mine. Accept them as the people and friends that they are.
Never hate. Anger is fine. It's even healthy. But I need to remind myself that I don't hate anything; I dislike many things. I intensely dislike bad drivers, but every once in a while we are all bad drivers. And I don't hate anyone for being a bad driver once in a while. I don't hate children. That laughing baby video always make me bust into giggles. More than disliking children, I hold contempt for the parents with a lack of parenting skills. Again, I do not hate these people, I just think they make very bad life decisions.
Do not change beliefs. I will not change my stance on my strongest beliefs: Pro-Choice, Vegetarianism, Gay Rights, Anti-Religion, Education, and a Baby-Free Lifestyle. Not everyone accepts these beliefs, and that is their right. But they should not pressure me to follow their belief system, as I should not pressure anyone to follow my belief system. A persuasive debate, backed by facts and evidence is one thing, but a lecture is another. I apologize if I have every pushed my beliefs on anyone. No, I do not expect you to become an "educated abortion-having gay vegan atheist." I expect you to support my belief systems for ME; as I will support your belief systems for you. I may bash Christianity, but do I bash you for being Christian? No, I accept you. If you have no desire to pursue any type of higher education, I may be disappointed, but I will support any positive decision you do make. If you eat meat, it is your choice, as it is my choice not to. I will make funny faces about your dietary choices sometimes as a joke. People do it about my dietary choices all the time.. not jokingly.
Keep pursuing education. I love school. I love learning and meeting people with a variety of interests. I may dislike most general education requirements, but I have even met some nifty people out of those classes. I am still at the JC-level. I have come to accept that. But I want to keep studying. I want to study everywhere. I want to keep learning. I want to keep understanding. I do not want to let anyone or anything stand in the way of my educational goals. No one in life is important enough to jeopardize my education.
