Look, I’m me and you are you.
And I love thunderstorms, and flowers, and vegetables, and cider, and incense, and black clothing.
And you? You may like sunny weather, and grass, and fruit, and beer, and candles, and bright floral prints.
And that’s totally and absolutely okay. Because this is a gentle reminder that diversity is not only okay but necessary.
We need different things, different opinions, different beliefs, different people. We need difference. We need it to challenge the status quo.
What we don’t need is hate. What we don’t need is ignorance.
What we need is different things, but we need acceptance too.
So if there is someone different than you in your workplace, your school, or even in your family, get to know their differences before you make a final conclusion. Before you treat them the same as others you’ve met. I promise that you’ll enjoy that your world has gotten bigger because you learned something new.
And us different people? We’ll appreciate it too. Because even though we’re different than you, we’re still human. We still love and wish and hope and dream that someone will see us for what we are: different.
