Just a reminder

Just a reminder for those who think they have it so damn much better…You don’t.

I am not old.

I am not irrelevant.

I have learned lessons most of you never could understand.

I am tired of being mocked, dismissed and being played the fool.

I am not perfect and neither is anyone else.

I am not here to be dismissed or made fun of.

I have beliefs and they are mine. So are my prejudices. I own them and they are what shape my worldview. Forgive me for not sharing yours.

Life is too short to be ignored or used and I refuse to be either anymore.

I am not “young,” but I am far from old.
