I came to the conclusion that if it can shift, negatively, it can also shift positively. If it can oppress, it can also empower. And, if I am unwilling, how can I expect anyone else to be? Responsibility of my position in the community finally kicked in and, I began to move.
Such a great outlook. I really need to work on building that mindset within myself. There are times where I absolutely find myself closed-minded, and others where I am open to anything. Sure, there is always a balance (or so we're told), but all it takes is a little more self awareness each day and I think I'll be able to get better at being a better individual.
Cheers! Congrats on 3k!
It really is this simple.
