I never really liked being categorized with others. I'd rather be labeled as me. Nothing more, nothing less. (by unknown) Growing-up, I remember hearing things like, oh, you're always sick or of course you got an "A" because you're smart and many more. These statements/labels bother me to this day. I didn't want to be known as the sick one, the smart one, the happy-go-lucky girl and such. Truth is, I spent many days alone at home sick and not having fun. I studied extremely hard to get those good grades because it didn't come easy to me. I tried so hard to look happy and disguise the sadness that lurked within. So, I tried to fake it until I felt it. Isn't it time to stop being defined by the labels we’ve been given? I feel that if we not only stop defining ourselves by labels, then it will provide a profound effect on the judgment we have on others. Believe this is called Breaking the Chain.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
