Kony2012

After watching a response video to the Kony2012 campaign, I have the following response to the videos and negative feedback to the campaign. 

The fact is, he may be dead he may not be, but he is #1 on the International Criminal Court's list of most wanted war criminals. Yes you should do your research on everything you support, BUT there will ALWAYS be another issue. There will ALWAYS be other causes that need to be supported. So where do you start if there is always another cause? Is that the excuse? There are bigger things going on? How will you be involved if that the excuse and there is always another cause? Change starts with action. Yes there are other issues, who says that multiple issues cannot be supported? This is a campaign for THIS issue. If you care, DO SOMETHING. If you feel there are better issues that are more worth your time, SUPPORT THEM, but do SOMETHING. If you are not doing ANYTHING or supporting ANY causes, do not criticize someone or anyone for taking a stance on an issue and DOING something about it. The video says they realized that littles (every individual) became a big (force). Be a little to a big solution, whatever it is that you feel deserves your support!


Even if you do not support this cause, support something, become educated. There are MANY causes that need your attention. Find one that touches your heart and or you can relate to. 


THIS is the Kony2012 video. It is 30 minutes but it is worth it to watch.

One day..

One day …

I will feel complete
I will find what I am missing … all of it
I will get answers to my questions surrounding my adoption.. whether it is acceptance or denial.
I will have a good relationship with my family
I will achieve my dreams
I wil feel appreciated
I will realize I deserve better .. in every aspect of my life
I will start to realize that I don't deserve to be in last place all the time
I will be able to eliminate the people in my life who don't appreciate me for who I am or who I want to be
I will be able to see myself for my accomplishments and not my failures.
I will allow myself to reach my full potential
I will stop allowing others to make me feel less
I will be stop falling for those who wont fall back
One day I will be ……. Happy.

One day each bullet will be checked off, but for now, I can work towards achieving them and…. I will achieve them. Who will be there along the way and at the finish line? I dont know, but it will be the ones who cared to begin with.

Needed to get off my chest. Goodnight!
