Choice and Acceptance; Our Human Right

Posted on by serenitisparkles

Does anyone really know what is best for you? Does anyone understand what is in the depths of your soul? Probably not. Because everyone of us is given a different perspective, drawn from the moment we enter into this existence.

So often we hear of governments, religions groups, our own families telling us what to choose and what is accepted.

Is that their story to tell? What is it about anyone or anything that could possibly give them the right to define which way your life should go?

Think about it. Think hard. When you lay awake at night, in your deepest thoughts, are you thinking about what others want, or do you think about what you want and what YOU feel?

When you think about these desires, are you held back from them because of another person’s opinion? What makes them have so much control over you. Why would you give them authority over the one most sacred human right; Your Choice? Your choice will define your existence. The voice in your head and heart will continue to tell you the way. How could you stop what is for YOU? What type of power in all of human existence should be given to one over another?

Choice should be recognized as our most basic human right.

You do not have to agree with my choices, you do not have to understand the why behind them, but you must accept them. They are mine and should be mine alone to make. If I choose to do something to benefit the feelings of another person, then I must make that choice. If I should choose a path that a religious group doesn’t agree with, it is still my choice for them to accept.

We are not given many freedoms in this world. In fact, at every turn, power, money, and government , chips away at our choice and enforces their own. But when we hold the control to walk in the direction that most fulfills us. WHO should have enough hold over us to take that away. CHOICE IS FOR ME ALONE, ACCEPTANCE IS FOR YOU. The path of my choices will teach me what I am to learn, and no one and nothing should be able to take that away. Live in the custom reality that was made just for you, and don’t allow others to take you from that.

Love is a terrible thing to Hate

This blog is an inspiration from my best friend who has not only taught me what love is, but that as long as it’s love its LOVE, period. Think about your first love. Think about the many or few after that. Bring yourself back to the moment you met them. Bask for a moment in your first kiss with them.

Doesn’t it feel amazing? Isn’t this feeling one of the things that makes life worth living? Aren’t these moments the ones we cherish and hold onto for our lifetimes?

We all want love. Most of us want it to last forever.

Now imagine that because of this love, you were ostracized by others. Imagine being tormented online or in the streets for nothing more than WHO you love. Imagine not being able to marry your ONE TRUE LOVE.

What kind of life would that be? Living in love in the shadows. Being undeniably attracted to that person and not being able to share it to the world.

Moments cherished in hiding.

This is what so many endure in the LGBTQ+ community. There are still many places in the United States where people are treated obscenely. Places where love is treated with disgust or hate.

Can you imagine? What it would feel like to have finally found love in a world full of hate, only to have to deny the full potential of that love because of others.

Though we as a country have come a long way, we still have many states, cities, schools, apartment communities, housing districts, and neighbors that want to rid the LGBTQ+ community of their human right to love. Let all of our voices be louder than theirs.

Let us stand for love, because if we are lucky enough to have found it, no one should ever be able to take it away.
