The World Isn't Fair

The world isn't fair.  And that's the truth.  People say it all the time and we think, "... Well that sucks."  And we move on.  Until that unfairness hits us in the chest.

It is not fair that people who wake up in the morning with the sole goal and purpose of loving other people and attempting to make at least one person's day better... They cry the most.  They hurt the most.  They are alone the most.  They watch TV alone, they listen to music alone, they cry alone, they sleep alone.

They pour out everything they have.  Everything.  Until we need to take a few days to cry and regroup and remember who we are.  We are the angels of the world.

No one loves each other any more.  No one respects each other any more.  They lie and say they do and that things are great... Not everyone, just a lot of people.  I would say the majority of the world.  We are selfish by nature--that selfishness makes us cowards.  "It's all about me.  And because it's all about me, I'm afraid to let anyone in who might hurt me.  So I will push them all away."

We are the brave ones.  We love.  We don't let that facade get the way.  We don't let those walls people put up stop us from showing them that there is hope in this world.

I have something to say to the world.  To every man, woman and child.

YOU ARE LOVED.  You don't know me.  I don't know you.  But I love you anyway. 


I have come to terms with the fact that I will hurt for all my life because I invest my entire being into those I love.

At the end of the day... I don't want to feel like I need someone to love me back.  I want to have pride in the fact that I AM A LOVER.  I am CALLED to love.  That's who I am.  No one can change that.  No one will turn me from my purpose.

So now the hard part-- Be okay with myself.  Stop wanting to defenestrate the part of me that cares so much... I kick ass because I am the brave soul who chooses to love.

That's right.

I love.

Therefore I kick ass.
