Watched the video below hit me in the feels. A mother pleeding for someone to validate her son. He was picked on for wearing black nail polish. It gets replied to by someone telling an anecdote about them getting picked on.
My reply -
From a young age I always felt this was our one chance at life. Even if reincarnation or some other afterlife theories were true I had no knowledge of it being as such.
Thus this is it, my moment my life the only one I'm likely to ever get.
With the stakes being so high everything I do needs to be imbued with the utmost authenticity. Many people exist but I am the only me. If I won't share that with the world and stand up for my right to exist I would have failed to live up to my potential.
At my work today I had a manager at one point ask me if I could tone it done and be less hyper. I said this is who I am I have ADHD and I'm naturally hyper and excitable.
They then said well you can bother people sometimes also you seem like you wanna be the center of attention you stand out too much.
I replied are you going to give me a written warning because I am going to continue to be me and when you do write me up id be glad to challenge that your discriminating against someone with a "disability"
he then said do you think the world should revolve around you.
My reply "this is the Anya show my friend your not even part of the supporting cast. I will always and forever will be myself you and this company will just have to decide if they want me because believe me someone will."
Never compromise yourself not for a moment. With the limited time on this Earth you should only invest your efforts into you're best interest whatever it is no apologies or explanations required.
