Something that has become a big issue in my eyes: the lack of support for LGBT around the world. Now I know this post may not change the world, but to change at least one life for the better is my goal I hope to achieve. Also, I want to give insight into the life of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, along with their struggles. There are many teens and young adults around the world who hide secrets of being gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans. It's the fear of acceptance, and the fear that they'll become the victims of bullying (which is another topic I'd like to post about).
Life can become extremely difficult, and a secret can't be kept forever. At some point they'll have to admit to family or a close friend(s). And it's also not a fashion statement: "I'm gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans! Now I'm different and so cool! I'm going to just tell everybody about it!" One word: No. This is a serious issue. Yes, it's great if you can accept yourself and feel confident in letting friends and family know, but it most certainly ISN'T something to go around telling random people. There shouldn't be shame in who you are, but really... You don't see straight people running around bragging about how straight they are. I know that people can be very cruel and heartless, and you can end up being bullied about your personal choices. They bully because you are different from them, and they don't like that fact. But remember, NEVER become something you're not just because you want to fit in. There are people out there who will love you for exactly who and what you are, because you are special in EVERY single way. I've been a victim of bullying and it broke me down completely. I was often bullied about my weight, my hair (because it's extremely curly) and my appearance. As years progressed, it became less and less, but then it started up all over again recently. Now, however, it isn't all the same things I was bullied about before. And I'll be completely honest: I am big on supporting LGBT because I am bisexual. I'm not ashamed of it, but there's more than that when it comes to my secrets. As a bisexual, I'm lucky enough not to have been bullied YET. But that's because not many people know, and I've hidden it quite well. The people who know are my close friends and my parents. As the title says: Love is love. My belief is that you fall in love with a person despite their gender. Love isn't skin deep. Love is when you and a person share a special emotional connection, and nothing can break that. No, love isn't all about sex, it's about feeling complete when you have that other person in your arms. Have you ever seen a gay or lesbian couple holding hands in your school? It's a rare thing. You simply cannot be yourself these days, you always have to fit into someone else's vision of who you should be. There are many stereotypes of LGBT, and sometimes they can hurt. A lot. But don't change, because you deserve to love and be loved for exactly who you are. If you have to change to be loved, then that love is as real as a barbie doll's hair. In my opinion, I think it's beautiful when I see two women or two men together, without any concern about what others think. Don't be afraid to embrace yourself, you are perfect just as you are. True love goes beyond the face and skin. As much as the bullying hurts, please remember that it doesn't matter what they think. Don't let them control you or your life. And NEVER let them bring you down so much that you want to end your life. You have so much to live for, why give that up because of some idiot? And to all you who are looking at this post thinking "What a stupid post. LGBT is soooo wrong" : Stop your homophobic behavior. You're ruining lives with your hurtful words and narrow-minded beliefs. I know there are Christians who believe it's unclean or whatever... But seriously, God made us as we are. We're sinning because we're being what God made us to be? I'm proudly agnostic, and don't believe that anyone should be told they're sinning because of orientation. We were born this way! And another thing I'd like to mention: LGBT. The "T" isn't silent. Equal support for trans, because they're people just as much as anyone else. Stand up! Be heard!We are allequal!
I killed a man He was a Jew I got some help From Winnie the Pooh We tied him up Wrapped him tightly in bacon And threw him in the water To be eaten by the Kraken Revenge is sweet So is honey I didn't share with my partner But he was quite cunning Stole some anyway So I killed him too And that was the end Of ole Winnie the Pooh Then one night When the clock struck ten I sat at home Petting my hen I heard a noise From outside my window Went to look and... MY VICTIMS ATE MY BRAINS! So now here I sit Rotting in hell Though I did make an impression... Hitler said I did well Ah, the wonders of boredom after an exam :'D results in some weird shizz, don't it? xD Michie, however, writes a whole lot of random things O.o IloveyouMichie<3 And she's posting them on her blog :D But.. She didn't give me the link :( Bleh :( I also discovered that Liam wants to kill me :D Why? Because Nadine said I'm a hippie :3 And that she sees future in my pie :'D
At last, a post emerges! It feels like forever and a half has past since I posted D:
I have been imprisoned by the government of Karyllia, the land I am inhabiting, and was unable to escape my cold, dark cell. Until now. Though I am not anywhere near free, I have been given some leash for being a good dog.
Why was this dog imprisoned, you may ask? Well... I attacked the postman. All the mail was ruined, therefore I was punished.
Over the past month I've been kept prisoner, and finally I am adjusting to my new life :) The warden has helped me a lot, yet I still need to prove myself.
I remember debating one Tuesday afternoon... :3 We sat there, and the teacher didn't show up Sooooooooooooo.. We started being our usual stupidly crazy selves :D :D
Also, Amy and I found a missing mustache on the hockey field. If anyone has lost their mustache, TOO BAD! :D We believe it belongs to a teacher. We were going to return it, but Amy's always wanted a mustache :3
It be fun singing Blink in the changerooms with your best friend xP
I miss Aidan v.v I miss him so much! <goes and cries in a corner>
And on top of it all, I've lost Fred :( If anyone has seen my invisible unicorn, please tell me :) xx
I had to laugh when a guy got confused between Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter xD "Dobby! 'My precious'" ... Uh, no. -.-
I am jealous of them peoples who went to One Night :( Fml xD
So to conclude this post here's a picture of peanut butter:
So on Saturday, Aidan invited me to his place for a braai :D I was so nervous coz I was gunna meet some of his friends >.< I was like "Oh shit, what if they don't like me?!" xD But they were all really chilled and pretty damn awesome :P
Band prac was an amazing experience :) they're really good at what they do :D Lots of laughs and plenty food xP
I can't imagine my Saturday getting any better than it was :3 Sunday was quality time with daddy :D Went driving up the side of a freaking mountain, ohyeah!! xD We stopped at a shop somewhere along the way.. THe place was huge! :o And they had freaking giant cookies, brownies and doughnuts! D: I think I died and went to heaven xD So Sunday was an amazing 4 hours of roadtrip and doughnuts! :D I was reminded why I love m country, and specifically Cape Town :) It's beautiful here :3
This weekend was practically perfect :D :D I wish it didn't have to end <3
The day started off on a low note, and even with hopes of my spirit lifting as the day went on, all seemed to go spiralling downwards with every second gone by.
Unfortunately I was left disappointed when my crazy retard best friend was missing from school :o Hope she's okay; she's been ill for the past few weeks v.v
Even the amazing sound of Aidan's voice couln't brighten my mood :/ Sure, it was great to hear his voice, but the dampening of my mood just didn't seem to lessen :/
Yet, through all the grey clouds, came a ray of sunshine... Pink sunshine ^^ Yes, my mommy dear is preggers and today we found out it's going to be a little female hatchling :3
So, like... Hiya :D I am le CherryBlossom ^^ known to friends and foes alike as Jess! Why the fooook do I declare my name CherryBlossom, then? O.o Well, it all start a long, long time ago .. In a distant land that only a few know of. This place has no name, as it is mostly unknown ^^
So there I was just walking down Liquorice Lane when a GIANT PLANT-FIGHTING, FLESH-EATING COTTON CANDY MONSTER CAME CHARGING AT ME!!! D: Luckily for me, he was extremely fat and couldn't run very fast, so escaping was a piece of cake :3 And then, out of the blue, some random weirdo in this leather jacket came skateboarding up to me with a guitar in hand ^^
"Do not fear, fair maiden!" He exclaimed, leaping towards the monster. He lay his guitar on the grass, grabbing a random branch lying in the middle of nowhere. BAM!! That monster didn't know what hit him! :o Okay, well he kinda did since it's hard to miss a huge thing flying towards your face :/
And so, with my life saved, this mysterious stranger came toward me, took my hand and together we flew away on his magical unicorn :D He calls me CherryBlossom. Why? Because every single time he kissed me, my face turned into this ripe tomato >.< And so, that is how I got my name :D
I am Jess and I'm 14 years old ^^ That is le me over therrrre ------------>
My birthday was only last week Wednesday :D I got the bestest gifts everrr :D Best gift was spending time with the amazing guy who holds my heart :3 My Aidan <3
For those who do not know me, I am a random weirdo who will eat all your peanut butter ^^ I LOVE music with the passion - especially that of rock and metal :D Art is my life and I dream of making a living off my sketches and soon-to-be novels :P
I have been labelled a "Hello Kitty emo" xD but no, I do not slit my wrists thank you very much xD I am simply different to the average and love embracing my unique side :3
AH HA!! I also should mention that I have a few very amazing, close friends who I love with all my cold little heart xD But two very important people are worth mentioning ^^ My boyfriend and best friend, Aidan :) And of course... The one and only... AMY :D :D crazy best friend of mine :3 freaking love that chick, man! xD Amy. With ice-cream. Damn her for not sharing! D: --------->
*goes to sulk in corner, listening to ETF*
