A friend of mine posted online recently that he stuck up for himself after being violently bullied from someone a few years ago. I cheered him on and it gave me great joy to do so. I spent my whole life being bullied, pushed around, made fun of and sometimes from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. A few years ago I realized that taking the 'high road' and being 'diplomatic' hasn't gotten me any further in life than if I would have told them off.
So two years ago I made a promise to myself that if bullied, mistreated, pushed around or treated like a doormat I was going to fight back. Its not a popular choice but for fucks sake I am tired of dealing with idiots. My heart goes out to my friend who now feels guilty about pushing back but I can't help but continue to cheer him on.
I'm complex.
