Startled A Bit?

Startled a bit?
Well this is me.
And this is you too.
This is each and every single one of us.
Some of us are too afraid to stand up for ourselves.
Some of us prefer silence when we see others suffer.
We're all the same.
Eyes closed, hands tied back and the mind? Well we've shut it down ourselves.
I'm not asking for you to wage a war.
I'm asking you to open your eyes, to recognize your rights as an individual.
I'm not asking you to use a weapon for your protection, I'm merely asking you to use your mind.
I'm not asking you to become a superhero, I'm asking you to at least recognize the pain of others and try your LEVEL BEST to ease it. Do anything you can.
We all have our own capacities, and I'm only asking you to work within them. I'm not asking you to change overnight. I'm asking you to at least take a step.
We're all victims of something, and so are those around us. Depression, bigotry, hatred, discrimination, abuse...the list can go on.
At least open your eyes, let your mind think, let your heart guide you to positivity and then take an action.
That action doesn't have to be big, it just has to be a positive contribution, to your well-being and those of others.
If you are positive from within, nothing can break you apart.
Nothing can cause you to harm another.
Nothing can stop you from helping those who are being victimized.
I'm not asking you to do much, I'm just asking you to turn to positivity, to liveliness, to optimism, to philanthropy, to being a better individual...to being more contended.
If all us were happy from within, we would be prepared to face all that came our way. We'd show our enemy nothing can bring us down. We'd not fall behind, we'd lead people.
So open your eyes and look for what brings positivity in your lives. Look for it because it is what will change your future and that of others.
Look for it like I did and today I can say that I'm no longer the person in that picture. I'm more positive than I ever was. I have opened my eyes and removed that tape. I am prepared to face my troubles with open eyes and to speak for myself and for others.
Almost a year ago I began writing my blog and I realized nothing made me more positive than penning down everything I saw. It made me feel if even one person read what I wrote, I might just make that person realize something vital.
From Instagram, to eBlogger, to two novels on Wattpad, I have I made quite a journey this year.
I may just be a young scribbler who's opinions may clash with yours, who's probably writing down in the most childish ways she can. But this scribbler is learning to look around her. To look at people who go through breakdowns just like her. Who've been dejected, who've been though depression, who've not lead quite a simple life. This ability to recognize pain has not only brought me more closer to my Lord, but has opened my eyes so much that today I find myself a lot more positive in any situation than I ever was.
Ten years later I may be laughing at my own work for being highly immature. But ten years later the person laughing will be so because this amateur writer within her taught her to look at others. To realize she's not the only who gets sad and those before, with and after her have, are and will fight with their fears and troubles, and she too has to do the same.
As I complete one year of my journey as a blogger I would like to thank everyone who encouraged me all along.
My biggest supports will never know how much they've helped me progress this year but to sum it up I can tell you something.
A few months ago I was asked by a team of people, consider it a highly official sort of interview. They asked me what is the one achievement that I think is my biggest to date.
I told them I'm a blogger and only my facebook friends know that I'm the person behind that blog. When someone other than them messages me on instagram and thanks me for writing something that made them realize they aren't alone, gave them a new hope to get back on track, nothing can leave me more contended than to help someone from behind a computer screen by merely typing a few words, someone who doesn't even know me.
Make me feel more self-accomplished, more positive.
Look around for your key to positivity, and use it to unlock the handful of positive vibes you can spread.
