So there are many things normal people do when they need to say something.
1. They say it.
2. They have the custom of presenting things to people close to them.
3. They go to a therapist.
4. They beat up a punching bag.
5. They write songs.
6. They create pieces of art.
7. They have debates.
8. They write books, articles, blogs (ha), letters, post it notes, napkins, frost covered windows, mud covered wind shields, misty shower doors, and lipstick cornered mirrors.
9. They protest.
10. They text, Twit, facebook, myspace all at once.
11. They cry.
12. They laugh.
13. They get mad.
As for me:
I keep it all in a little box that no one has seen.
But I'm not normal, so thats a relief.
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and I am thinking of myself.
He was a great man, one that I would consider a role model and hero, for the obvious reasons.
He was also a human with a goal, and Lord knows he used his words to perfection in order to attain it.
Today I will confess that I truly admire Martin Luther King for speaking up.
Tomorrow another man will speak up and take up a challenge that is causing all of America, no not even, the entire world, to wait in anticipation for results. I don't think I have ever seen a group of people so willing to be patient.
Except for the slaves, but doesn't that seem to come full circle now, doesn't it?
you are my best friend.
