Journaling reads:
"I was always different, since
I remember myself I was too sensitive, too loving, too sensual, too good to be true...
I heard the you are too much all my life.
My beliefs, my devotion, my caring, my giving, my passion was always too much for most of the people, they wanted me normal, like everybody else, but I was not... and nothing helped to make me one like the others. I was me. I know a lot about TOLERANCE...mostly about the lack of it, in all facets and levels.
Each one of us believes he OWNS the real truth, the ONLY real religion... MY God, MY church, MY color of skin, MY way of living, MY country, MY husband, MY kids, MY sexual preference...YOURS is not good, is not real, is not beautiful, ONLY MINE.
If I am fat, if I am short or if I am too tall...if I dont look like Angelina Jolie, IF I AM NOT LIKE SOCIETY EXPECTS ME TO BE...I am doomed.
I am very aware of the
importance of tolerance, I try to be the most tolerant I can to others...and YET, sometimes
I caught myself doing the same JUDGMENT towards something or somebody that I hate so much when it is done to me...SO I AM NOT PERFECT, I still have a long way to be the person I want to be, but at least I am aware of that and will keep trying as long
as I live."
