I am human.
I am not perfect, not close.
I have thoughts and ideas.
I have dreams, desires, and passions.
I live in this world no different than you.
We breath the same air.
Drink the same water.
Do the same things.
I am not you. And I'm glad.
We are not that different.
So why treat me that way?

If more people thought of life this way, then I think the world would be more peaceful. This is great. :)
