I made a comment on Sunday that evoked quite a few responses
from people. In truth this comment was not made for any particular reason. I just
made it because I could. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Thank you Riaan
and Kevin.
I am a positive human being and nowhere did I intend for the
comment to be negative, depressing, serious, or anything other than just a
statement. Well for those of you that are out of the loop, I said:
“I would rather be
hated for what I am, than be loved for what I am not.”
To me this statement first and foremost speaks of the truth
of being truthful to who and what you are and not sacrificing that for anyone.
The people’s mixed reactions got me thinking. It got me thinking about the
“real” factor of people that we know.
How real are some people?
I have in all my years helped many people to try and
discover who they are. Personally I feel that this is a mission that will never
end. I am still learning things about myself. I am after all a constantly
evolving human being. I also found that things that I wanted to try at some
point faded out due to my changes in my life and new things replaced them. I try to flow with my life and
accept the roads that I find myself on. Explore them. I don’t try to go looking
for new roads. Then I might miss out on the one I am currently on. And what you
want to explore and what you should or will are after all, very often, two very
different things. You want me to prove that point to you. Ok well, you would
like to win the Lotto won’t you, even if just to help someone else. Have you
won it? ……….. Point made I believe.
I think that most people might not find it difficult to
explore themselves. I meant that as non-sexual as what I possibly could, yet I
know, some of you have fucqing dirty minds….rude!!
The difficult part, to most people I think, is to then live
up to it. Like lets say you discover you are gay. Yes ok Cliché example but one
where I actually know what the fucq I am talking about. I wasn’t always a cock
sucker remember, I used to be quite the homophobe and ladies man. Yes you were right gay boys,
its always the homophobes.
The Paths of Life |
Alright back to the point. Thank you. The point is that many
of us are afraid of embracing our true selves due to the stigma that society
has placed on that true self. And that is a fact. I went around telling people
that I was bisexual for such a long time. Then months later accepted that I was
gay. Now years later I actually think we are all bisexual in any way. I just
happen to be with a man at the present moment and hopefully for a very long
time to come still. But you get my drift.
Lets use a more …………. everyday example that all of you can
relate to. Its rather gross, even for me. Yes even for me, shock horror. Lets
say that one day you wake up and you discover that you want to try both ends of
a Golden Shower. Fucq that is a disgusting example. Why on the Goddesses green
Earth would I choose that. But hang on, me having this reaction proves my point
exactly. So lets say that we are best friends and you have now discovered that
you like to pissed on………I actually can't even type that without turning a little
green and feeling faint. Now
because you know my reaction to this abomination you will never tell me about
it cuz you don’t want that reaction. You don’t want to feel like less of a human being. Which is understandable.
So for the rest of your life you hide this aspect of your personality from
people for fear of being rejected by your loved ones, due to their perceptions.
Do you see how that is kind of fucqed up.
You know, if you had to tell me that you like to be pissed
on, I would very likely pull a funny, disgusted face and think something in my
head like WTF!!!! but I would never stop loving you as my friend. Your kinks
are your own and as long as you don’t force it on me, I don’t actually care. I
feel the same way about what all my different friends believe in. As long as
you don’t make it my problem, I am not gonna make you feel fucqed up for what
you believe in.
Miranda Hart |
We have wondered so far now, I am going to try and put it
all into one paragraph so we can all be on the same page. Yes sure I could have
done that from the beginning but then it would not have been much of a blog, now
would it and you would not have been able to laugh at some points as you did.
So in fact you should thank me for dragging it out, you ungrateful bastard. Yes
I did pick up this habit of talking to you as if you are in front of me. I
can’t help it, I blame Miranda.
So the paragraph.
Explore who you are and then have the courage and strength
to take you on the path that you are exploring and do it unashamedly. Screw
what people might think of you, it only matters what you think of you and then
keeping your integrity in tact. It is afterall your life, not theirs.
This brings me all the way back to the top and my opening
phrase. Oh look we’ve come full circle. For those that can't remember, the line
was
“I would rather be
hated for what I am, than be loved for what I am not.”
I am aware of the fact that 90% of the population see me as
a bit of an odd character. Yes that was nicely put, thank you. I had to brake
it to myself gently, I also have feelings you know. I am aware that my sense of
style and what I say and do, pisses people off or sometimes shocks them. I am
aware that I use foul language and say words like cock and vagina and clitoris
and fucq and I am aware that I very often just talk about things that others
would rather not hear. But the point is. At least I have the balls, strength,
bravery, courage, and integrity to be true to myself. I don’t hide who I am
behind a label that society has decided will be appropriate. And if people want
to gossip, then let them. There will always be those that wish to talk kak
about me. Yes that means half the people in Kuilsriver. But you know what, it
shows how fucqing boring their lives are.
As some of you may have noticed, I didn’t write this blog to
get something of my chest really. No honestly I didn’t. I have written similar
blogs to this before, but this time I wrote is specifically for a few people
that I know that are in the beginning stages of self discovery and I hope that
through all of my profanity, you can at least find that inkling of guidance or
help that you needed, even if it was just that you needed to hear someone say
that you can be whoever or whatever you want to be! My Mommy taught me from a
very young age:
“Fucq the people, we
are the people”
Mwah!!
