Humans are amazing beings who has evolved through time from apes to what we are today. Today I would like to discuss about what I have felt over the span of my life which is "Acceptance"
Education, Love, Kindness and more are the key things that we humans have learn and adapted over the years of evolution but what progress have we made if there is no acceptance. Look at the animal kingdom, it consists of a diverse amount of species but what makes me intrigued and amazed is that they all live in perfect harmony. Where as we humans despite reforming and populating the world with our kind and creations,we do not live in peace yet instead we create wars, pollution, and rules of being a social norm. My life has been full of crap and shit since I was born up to now, my love for make up, skincare, comics, plush toys were all seen as weird and disgust to the people around me just because i am a guy. Yes i am a guy but who is atypical to his sex, when i was young i was thought that parents should love their child unconditionally but as i grew and had thoughts of my own my eyes awaken and saw how cruel life was and that these bearers were the vein of my existence, From a young age, being born with feminine features and a abnormally high pitched voice I was bullied and teased for being different and has been sexually touched by kids my age at the groin area to see if i was a boy or girl and been put off as a social outcast.As for my parents who cared deeply about their image would cane,whack and yell at me for hours a day forcing me to change who i am just to avoid being talked among people for having a child like me, Imagine experiencing abuse from a father at he age of 7 and constant canes and scolding to change since i was 6 up to now it has made me become fearful of humans and had thoughts of suicide and experienced mental instability. Now when i look back on these past traumatic memories, I often wondered if these things could be avoided and after deep thought there was one and it is acceptance. Imagine if we were all accepting of everyone there wouldn't be cultural debates, wars, social outcasts and more. It saddens me so that despite being in the 21st Century and the progress we have made in technology and education it pains me that we have not made any progress compared to our ancestors the apes who all life happily together in peace and acceptance. However there are some who has shown me great acceptance for being different and has experienced true love and kindness from them but at the end of the day being brought up in an asian household I see no hope that there would be a change in their minds and it pains me because to the parents who were the ones who brought me into the world who I called mama and papa there would always be disgust and disappointment in their eyes to me as long as I don't reform to the normal guidelines of being a guy.
