Hardships ( Archived) (58)

That's a good point. Some people may not have the mentality to move forward. Maybe no resources, maybe physical things are what hinder them. That's where I like to pay it forward if I can help someone who is struggling but is committed to do the work.

Don't look down at someone unless your trying to help them up. No judgement.

And/or those people/trolls/bullies are simply acting/posting intentionally to be straight up malicious and could care less of the repercussions they are targeting, basically getting their rocks off by TRYING to portray themselves as superior when making others feel inferior. A person who acts like a narcissist is also known to have sociopathic tendencies and that is someone to stay clear of if possible in my opinion.

And my heart aches for those who can't get back on track. There are so many things that factor in to why they gave up. Are these the people who are homeless and drug addicted, are they war veterans who suffer from mental illness that is untreated, maybe poor upbringing and just lacks the tools to survive because they learn from who was the "role model' and don't know anything other than what they were exposed to and only knows what they witnessed, experienced, etc and know nothing else but what they were exposed to and was never able to get the help they needed to break that chain. I can go on and on but ultimately it comes down to having the DESIRE to rise and to find the specific resources that can aide them.

I would like to tell you how sorry I am for what you went through because you mentioned that you are not a victim, so my words may not be what you want to hear, but I will say this, You ARE NOT a victim, you have NO REASON to be ashamed. The fact that you stand up for what is the right thing to do and you advocate for the individual, regardless of gender and other's as a human being. I admire you for your willingness to be involved in and to educate and encourage awareness and help open up a platform for such serious matters that are so often overlooked/ignored. I believe that people who have the same mindset as you do, are the one's who pass on their own strengths to those who need to know they are not alone. I admire your courage to share your story in order to make an impact and to raise awareness in a non-discriminatory and supportive manner.

Often times someone needs to be the voice for those who may not have a voice. We should not ever turn a blind eye. There are so many reasons why people turn a blind eye, but personally, I believe we should all be aware and unafraid to make a potentially life saving effort by reporting suspicion of any crisis you believe you may have witnessed.

I'm sorry for the novel, hope I didn't go overboard, I hope I didn't offend or embarrass you, that is not my attention. Sometimes my passion takes over and I can't help myself.
