i like them (by liza shelestun)
Dreams make me nostalgic
My real world
The key is not not to give others the power… Because in the end, there is nothing more important than not giving into the fears and judgments we drain our spirits with.
I would never give these people a reason to question the value I brought to the table.
Recipe for success: Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.”

I almost scrolled past this but it’s actually really fucking deep…

POC who live here in America:
I realize you’re hurt by the ignorant words of “white people” who don’t know what they’re talking about, and I’m sorry.
But I have a question for you. In this “land of the free”…aren’t you free? What are their words doing to you, unless you LET them affect you? I thought this was a free country, where people were allowed to speak their minds, and other people were allowed not to listen.
But maybe I was wrong. Maybe the words of people are so strong that it’s impossible to stand up against them. Which is sad, and basically means our country is full of weak people.
No matter what race or gender I am, I would never let people’s words affect me. Don’t you realize they’re just words? Words are not physical, they will not capture and torture you. They won’t keep you from getting a job (and if your race is keeping you from getting a job, that’s the owners problem, not every white person), and they won’t kill you.
Unless you let them.
So take pride in who you are and stop listening to stupid people. It’s that easy. Once you let go of worrying about what other people think, your life will be a hell of a lot easier. And a lot less stressful.
Empower yourself. Empower your own life.“once you let go of ‘worrying what people think and say’, then magically all this will disappear! “
“RACISM CAN’T AFFECT YOU UNLESS YOU LET IT!!!”
“No matter what race or gender I am, I would never let people’s words affect me.”
How easy it is to sprout this bullshit when you’ve never actually experienced the effects of racial slurs and harassment. How easy. And nice victim-blaming, OP.“Someone may throw racist slurs at you every day but it’s YOUR FAULT if you feel hurt!”
Is OP serious? They have to be joking…there’s no way. I can’t accept that as their actual thought.
