Getting a little controversial

I posted on my Facebook page:
"I think I need to get a little more controversial..."

A reply asked "Why?"

So upon delving into mind why I said that,
I've come up with the following answer.

It is time to spread my wings.

I need to learn to stand by my words, ideas, convictions
and not let the fear of other people's impressions
hold me back from expressing myself.

I need to learn to deflect attacks and not take them personally;
to build a thicker skin as I wade into deeper waters.

I need to learn to accept that there will be those who disagree with me
and that does not invalidate my view or have any bearing on my value
as a person (and, especially, upon my soul.)

It is time to test myself... take all my experiences and use them
to push against my own boundaries.

It is time to lose the fear or face the fear.

All Purpose Is Equal

I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.. yet I still have a purpose. It may be very menial or seem unimportant but ALL that has purpose IS necessary.. therefore all purpose is equal.
