Lately I’ve found myself writing and deleting instead of saving simply because I seem to be bugged in a certain kind of way. Sometimes I wonder why we always have to paint a picture to the world that everything is a-okay when on several occasions we may be struggling at one point or another.
By reflecting inwards, I feel it’s actually time to thrash this issue of rejection mainly because on many occasions bearing out inner feelings actually helps to foster a healthier you.

Growing up for me was probably one of the hardest things or process I ever had to bear. It seemed like there was an unheard stigma that came with being a warrior. Younger years was a lot more easier because of the innocency at play with such an age. However, as I grew older, the world became a battleground where only the toughest survive. It really is so very sad when you are ruled out as having nothing to offer and when you actually are able to prove yourself, to be then deemed as a threat.

I just can’t understand why for some reason, warriors are deemed as unimportant or stigmatized for who they naturally are. Is there something about the way they look? speak or probably act that sometimes thoughtless remarks or actions are meted on them? Now I’m not saying that they should be given special treatment but when thoughtless words like “ you enjoy being sick” Or “you’re too lazy” are thrown constantly at them tell me one reason why a warrior will not abhor the very life that they’ve been called to live. The same way that all fingers are not equal is the same way that as there are stronger individuals there are also weaker individuals. However, this does not mean that the weaker vessels were not also made for a purpose.

I know some certain individuals may say “Oh get a grip!” Seriously? the last thing that I wish on any individual is to pass through the fights and struggle that we daily have to bear in this world! Tell me why a warrior would choose to make up stories about their pain. Isn’t the pain hard enough as it were to pull through time after time again? Eventually when their break does come through, they are alienated and thrown to the background because they pose a threat to others.

If there’s one thing I do know, I know for a fact that I’ve made my mark in this world. The fact that you choose not to see it doesn’t erase the mark I’ve already set. Warriors you don’t have to blend in with the crowd to be accepted. The fact that you were born different is a pointer to the greatness that only you can achieve. It’s hard enough as it were to go through your daily struggles that choosing to blend in with the standards that society has set would do more harm to the worth that you carry within you.

Is it worth it to choose to blend in than not to be accepted? Has all the stress and struggle been in vain? Only you can decide the element of worth that you carry on the inside of you. Only you can decide at the end of the day, the mark you set in this life because in weakness you find strength.

Our weakness which the world sees is nothing that the strongest can withstand because it takes strength for your body to withstand all the issues and pain that life has thrown at it.

We all are “footprints in the sands of time”..
