So I have been in college for about 4 years now, and I am finding inspiration now. As I learn more and more about social and political issues, I am learning that I have a passion for people and their problems. When I started college I wanted to become a Civil rights Attorney, I thought that I could save the world by trying cases of social injustices and acts of discrimination . As a freshman at Tuskegee University, I learned that I must branch out, move and matriculate through different channels in order that I might spread the noise! Noise meaning that I would always be a poster for racial conversations and open to the ideals of racial unity.
I am About to go on a tangent so follow these thoughts the best you can.
We All want to be accepted, and when we say that we don't we are all lying. Whether we seek acceptance from friends, family, our loves, our groups, or whomever we still seek it. But what happens when fear intercepts acceptance? Fear has a tendency to shake every aspect of life. Fear challenges our homeostasis and knocks us off our internal level of comfort. When we act in response to fear, we do foolish things, we become dumfounded and incapable seeing and feeling justice, and we oppose love. How? Fear is the opposite of Love. Love is a living breathing noun, verb, adjective that conqueors fear, but we must be willing to submit to it. So where am I going with all of this?
I must say that I am not to sure, these are just my thoughts and refuse to organize them because I feel that all of my thoughts are valid, though some may conflict or contradict each other, they are still important. I am no real writer, I am not very grammatically correct, however I refuse to continue to silence my voice. As an only child my voice has often been muffled or looked over, but now I am going to say it loud, IM BROWN AND I AM PROUD! I don't consider myself black because thats not what COLOR I AM. -Could go further on that thought but I am not.
Now back to the topic, I am finding my inspiration. All around me I see people with problems and it is how I see the world. Problems and people make this world go round and through the courses that I am taking, I am learning to live. Live with a purpose, my purpose in life is being revealed but I must continue to work hard. So must we all. Or we must work up to our own potential. I am finding my inspiration. Through experience.
My experiences change from day to day, and I am learning new things everyday. Through conversations, shared stories, documentaries, books, and observations I am inspired. Through LOVE.
Loving Men, Women, and children has inspired me to push through and become more resilient. We must continue to grown and learn through the trials of love.
I could say more but I am inspired by you, the reader. You hear my voice and I am inspired because of this.
