Where is your head?

As children we aren't expected to explain a bad mood. We are in a perpetual state of learning, everything is new. As adults we aren't expected to be in a bad mood. We have grown, we are educated, everything is constant. As emotional beings we aren't expected to hold back, we break , we bleed , we release, we heal. As productive members of society we are expected to wake up every morning, hold down a stable 8 hours a day if not more, build mini empires , and fill the norms in society. Today a coworker that obviously knows nothing about anyone in the worlds made a blanket statement about gay people, and how being around them made her ill, and I sat there quietly. I don't fall into the category. I guess I don't look the part, but would the dinner invitation still stand if she knew I was in love with a woman? If she knew I had been with my lover longer than she had known her husband? Take a second, think about what you say . Your close pal, or acquaintence just might be the person you have been taught to hate. If that's the case, then hate me, because I don't need now, and will never need anyone in my life that can justify hate so easily....
Hate doesn't touch us in life until we are taught, by those close to us, or by those trying to keep their distance from us. That's me when I was one year old. Big wondering eyes, waiting to learn everything the world held. I don't have children now because of everything I learned.....
