If you do not agree with what I am about to say, then unfollow me the moment you finish reading this. If you agree with what I am about to say then re-blog, like, comment, share via other social media. I want this to be known.

My skin color is on one side of the spectrum. All while I have had coworkers and friends and those I care for on the other side of the spectrum. I am not afraid to admit that I am a 22-year-old white woman in the U.S., but that is simply because my vision is not in the monochromatic spectrum that so many people in this day and age seem to have.

They do not realize that everyone breathes the air produced by the plants around us.

The do not realize that the same blue blood that bleeds red courses through our body.

They do not seem to care that we are all made of the collagen and calcium as someone push down an elderly person or harms a child.

They may have sight but are blind to the stunning kaleidoscope we hold on one of the smaller organs of our bodies.

They do not understand the different textures of hair that grows each and every day.

People cannot seem to realize that the very things that make us ‘different’ are the most beautiful attributes a person has.

Lives are lost every day in this world of ours and yet we choose to focus on the small and petty things of not being included in a saying. Sometimes we have to get metaphorically pushed off the cliff of our own pride and stubbornness to see that each and every single person was created for a purpose no matter if you believe in God, Allah, Buddha, etc. It. Does. Not. Matter. We are all made from the same chemicals, the same compounds, the same cells.

Sure we each have variations about those genetic codes, but that is the beauty of Life. Life is so very precious, but we as human being have left the technicolor world of the present behind for the monochromatic sight of the past.

I find joy in working and having worked with people of all different colors, ethnic groups, religions, sexual orientation. That is because the monochromatic sight I had when I was such a young girl is blossoming into the most beautiful world of color I have ever known. It is continuously growing and evolving and changing.

I do not want to get older and be scared for the lives of my own future children or grandchildren. I don’t want be scared for the lives of the children of my friends, family, coworkers. I refuse to sit by any more and stay idle while people abuse power. I just can’t.
