I don't think I have been specific enough when I refer to people as "Diamonds."
"I believe every person is strong and beautiful like a diamond."
Key words: Strong and Beautiful
I want to focus mostly on beauty, because strength really speaks for itself.
A diamond is see-through, it's both beautiful on the outside as it is the inside. So if you are a very pretty girl on the outside, (which every single one of you is, I don't care what anyone else thinks of you.) that doesn't directly mean that you are instantly beautiful on the inside. I know a lot of pretty girls who are complete bitches.
If you do not know a person you have no right to judge anything about them.
I mean ANYTHING. I don't care if it looks like they haven't re-dyed their hair in three months! Maybe they can't afford root-touch up.
I would like to use my cousin Sally as an example in this topic.
I probably didn't mention that Sally was raped at the age of 15, by her creepy ex-boyfriend. During those years Sally had gotten mixed up with the wrong kind of people. So she ended up dating an asshole who was addicted to drugs, but I digress.
Sally, being pro-choice, knew she had the option of getting ride of the child. She did not take any action to want the child, so I personally thought she had every right to not have the baby. However Sally's thought was bringing a child into the world would help her redirect her attention away from all of the bad things she had been doing.
She told me being pregnant with her son was one of the hardest things she ever had to go through. She told me when her and her mother went shopping for maternity clothes she got the dirtiest looks from girls her age at the mall. When she went to church the elderly ladies gave her stares that went right through her soul.
Yes eventually some people did figure out the situation and changed their opinions on her.
But should they have assumed that first before they judge Sally like that? Sally was going to have a baby that she had every right to give up, but she didn't and frankly that should make her a hero.
Do you think she felt like a hero while she was walking through the mall with girls laughing at her? Do you think she felt like a hero when she walked through the school hallways and boys and girls would shout out "Sally the slut?"
No. She didn't. She felt like she had made the wrong decision and that she should give up this child, and she actually almost did. Looking back on it if I could find those girls who called her those names, and who laughed about her behind her back, I might want to hurt them, because of them I almost didn't get my godson Jackson.
So if I ever hear someone saying "I saw this girl today..." I'll ask the person if they know this girl, and if they don't I will judge them.
I will judge you if you judge a person you do not know.
Only exception: If they are wearing a Yankees shirt.
