And so it begins

Taking a stand is all you can really do. Whether the outcome be what you wish or not, you stood up for what you believed was right and fought. I am not broken. I can never be broken, only deterred. But even then it is the very people that try and break me that bring out the best in me. A knight of truth and justice. I will not sit back and watch the tyranny of disrespect and blatant bias go unchecked. While the rest accept the world as it is, I refuse to let those with a false sense of superiority continue their way of thinking. And so it begins. I will fight the battle that most are unwilling to. I will be the one to shed the light. Thank you for giving me something to believe in again. Myself. I am sure we will see each other soon.
