I Wish Everyone Was Loved Tonight...

Have you ever been insulted by someone whom you love? A good friend?Best perhaps? Family? Husband or wife? I know many people just say to not take things like that personally, but after the insult is repeated over and over, I can't help but take offense. Being a non-confrontational person, I of course elect to keep my feelings to myself (and apparently this blog). Having stood up for myself before and failed, I have found that the best solution for me is to simply wait out the storm and try to forget about it when it has passed. The difference comes when someone I love and care about, begins to insult other people I love and care about. I can sit by and do nothing when insulted, but I will not sit by while the same happens to others. I am so tired of being misunderstood and ridiculed by my family for things that they clearly do not posses the capacity to understand. I just wish everyone could just be loving towards each other and learn to accept people for whoever they are. The most interesting and nicest people I know are in fact the strangest and weirdest people I know. I suppose I have learned a little about myself today, in that I may not stand up for myself often, but standing up for others is something I can and will continue to do.
