Be What You Are.

[AngelOfBetrayal]

Often am i looked down upon for what i think or believe, for being what i am and doing what i do. I'm told what i want is impossible and that i should conform to what they all think is right, and everyday i look them in the eyes and tell them that even if i did conform inside i would be my Morbid, anti-christian, gay self and that they all need to back the hell up and gimme some space because what i do behind closed doors is none of their god damned business. Now i just want to know if any of you go through the same thing, and if so how does it make you feel and what do you do about it?
I'm so sick of people attempting to push me around, and i know i can't be the only one.

I come from a very religous family and I delt with it evey day i do not belive in organized religon I think it is only a way to control the masses. I suffered from a bad drug problem which I am glad to say i suffer no more. But my family and friends for a very long time tried to push there ideas on me what I did was educate myself on both sides of the debate and told them this is who i am theses are my beliefs you can except me or you can not that is up to you, I have excepted you for you the least you can do is the same for me.

Above all you must accept yourself, learn to like yourself and be happy [or morbid if you wish lol] but remember other peoples problems with you are just that their problems - not yours. You will find it all most impossible to argue with the religious & homophobes, you aren't going to be able to change their minds so just hang in there. Be strong, look to friends for support if you can. Oh, and good for you :) Morbid ant-christian gays are my favourite people *grin* Love, Michaela SS4L

Why thank you
XPP
I have just been so down here lately and it's been sort of sucking lieing in bed and staring at the ceiling, so instead *dun dun dun* I got on the internet today and was looking up some more otep, she's doing a rap album this year *can't wait for it to come out* And was writing a wee bit of poetry.
XD
and morbid anti-christian gays are the best

*grin* - Otep is indescribable - I have all her albums - can't wait for the next one :) I listen to one at least every day, I run through the whole range of human emotion by the time a cd is finished - it's amazing lol. Love to read your poetry sometime :)

I can guarantee you that your not the only one that goes through things of that matter. I'm constantly stared at when im out and about in public, granted its mostly the older people who stare and "disapprove"/try to give me advice about life. what people fail to understand is i am what i am and there is absolutely no changing that. For the most part i politely listen and smile but when asked if i understood any of it i tell them what and how i feel, politely and calmly ofcourse. its my belief in this world that everyone deserves respect until proven otherwise

Of course you're not alone, in fact you could say that there's an entire "Legion" of us! The Masses of Asses always seek conformity, convienence & a caring tyrant to lead them off to be sodomized. Those of us who DARE to defy the tyrants & refuse to be silent, chill their bones & they Hate us for it. They look down their arrogant noses at us & mock us, sometimes they laugh at us & that is fine. However, if they put their filthy hands on us, then consider it an offering of delishious, nutrishious, life giving meat & don't hesatate to feed. We are the Predator & they are the prey! The wolf-pack is not evil because it feeds on Bambi, it is simply trying to survive & it never kills more than it can eat & neither shall we. Never forget that the world has its' "Osama Bin Laddens, Ted Bundies, Night Stalkers & possibly.... the quiet man next door that nobody knows.... YET!

agonies hit the nail on the head. "We" are everywhere and all of us share the same experience in life. I urge you to keep doing your thing rather than conform to their standards.

[Thirst -4- Ignorance]

FUCK THE HATERS, sweetheart , you are yourself , don't let the homophobic attitudes bring you down , they just want to have say over who you are, and for what, a big painful waste of time.....
It's not easy, but you'll find some to back you up along the way..............most gay people i know/knew have....

Totally, people go through this day by day, it's society, some of them accept who you are while other judge the hell out of you. I can't even tell the people I work with that I like Marilyn Manson's music, why? They will get the wrong idea and then think different of me, judge me in comparisson of other kids but whatever. Let them judge, it bugs me at times but I don't really care anymore. I know there's someone out there that feels the same way I do. Religion? Blah but if you like it, I guess it's ok but I don't like it one bit. Gay marriage? Who cares, let them get married, love is love.

[Rip]

i agree, i hear people saying if you don`t beleave in god your going to hell, well i don`t think "god" put people here to judge other people. ain`t that his job?? i think people are intitled to thier own beleifs and shouden`t be judge for that.

[Stranger In My Own Head]

i just wish i had the strength and courage to stand up for myself and who i really am. consider yourself lucky you have the ability to do so.

[AngelOfBetrayal]

Everyone should be able to be what they are with no fear; but sometimes this isn't so, and sometimes one must learn when to speak and when to keep their mouth shut, for at times standing up to people can lead to something worse than silence:

Unfortunately though i know that, i speak my mind to all that oppose what i am;
I speak my mind because it hurts to bite my tongue.
