The judgement of others is hard to ignore, and we carry it like weights around our hearts. Sometimes they’re too heavy and we fall.
Although they can’t remove the weights we choose to carry, our families inspire us to get back up. Our friends share the load and every day strangers help.
Stumbling in our choices, we keep going for those around us, even when we fall again, are stripped of our identity and defined by others.
We might lose ourselves, be buried by their hate, jealousy and fear but we will rise stronger.
We’ll keep struggling to be good.
