The Hecklers Did. They convinced us of our lack of worth and our inability to achieve! The dreams we once thought we could pursue are blocked by self doubt and age… I was once full of life and being, and I saw no challenge as impossible even if it was troublesome. Somewhere on the path to maturity, we come across too many mishaps. Things happen that seem out of place, people change and forget us as if we were never friends, and the ones we loved moved on or moved away. What justice could there be in life when everyday brings a new struggle’ and a pint of insecurity? Are we only victims of the timelines we live in?
Sometimes I think so; I forget to look at my worth and my value as a person. Depending on what others think is hip or cool, I fall into letting them decide what I should feel about myself. What an outrage! Do I not have the right to think for myself and decide what will make me fulfilled? Of course I do! I am not one to listen to the thoughts of those who judge me because they are a different class. Class can be social, class can be race, and class can be age. Yet, class can also be peer pressure… We look in the magazines hoping to fulfill hip hop! The pretty people, the gangster rappers, and the uncanny ability of youth to remind us we are older.
I am glad I do not stop in my efforts to be myself. How sad it would be for me to live a life and judge my character according to what popular media presents! In the true spirit of human sexual prowess, a person can only become better at life through overcoming mental handicaps. The thoughts I use to degrade myself do not lead me to better things, it is only the motions of my character that matter. I wish to be fulfilled, and I seek to be happy. If I do not stay strong and believe in myself, I will only live for others instead of helping others. By finding my soul and reinventing myself, I keep true to my purpose in life.
I would do well not to listen to the foolish youth and their inexperience at life, I would do well not to sit among the masses wishing for more, and I will do well not to become senile as I grow older. My purpose is my own, and I seek the right to finish my goals. Although the reality of my goals will change, the heart of my faith will not. My spirit is determined by effort` even if I must fight within myself for peace of mind. In such a battle as this, I have no need to criticize what I want. A stable mind happy with its ability to enjoy what it has. The voices that hold me back in life do not come from others; they come from my personal repetitions of thought.
