I can't deal with Hate.

I am going to start with saying i have been working on this all week.

It's a hard topic for me to talk about because I don't understand it.

I follow so many people on social media, read their blogs, watch their Vlogs. I follow people who inspire me, who interest me and I don't always agree with everything they say or put out into the world but I am ok with not agreeing with everything another person says or thinks.

These people that I follow inspired me to share my own journey, their courage in putting their experiences out there and hoping to help other people on their journey is what made me want to pay it forward, they helped me, I want to help others.

However, what I have been struggling to comprehend, to digest and understand is that everyday I see comments from people that are so hateful, so nasty and so passionately aggressive that I find it hard to read, hard to digest that someone can be that cruel not just in their own life but to a person who essentially is a complete stranger.

It would seem that society thinks because a person is brave enough to share their life with the world, that they are honest and raw that makes them fair game. That they can be picked apart, broken down and spat on, and its ok because well everyone has a right to say and do whatever they want, right?

I agree with everyone being entitled to their opinion and even these people who behave in this cruel and vicious way are, well, entitled to their opinion however what I can't understand is why?

Why does it have to be so nasty, why do people think it's ok to hurt another person?

The idea of intentionally hurting another person either physically or emotionally makes me feel physically sick. this is something I really struggle with. I can't even watch fictional shows or movies where people are intentionally hurtful, who are intent on destroying another person without looking away or switching it off entirely.

This world is harsh, it is cruel and there are enough struggles out there without people breaking people. What baffles me the most is these are women verbally attacking other women.

These people that are being attacked are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, they are people just like you or I and the only thing that they are doing is sharing their experiences.

I find this so frustrating, infuriating, and scary.

If more people in the world spent their time being nice, building people up instead of breaking them down and caring for their fellow humans, what a world that would be. We would be unstoppable. We would be united, strong and happy.

So I encourage you all to be the person you want to your children to be, the person you want as your friend, your supporter. The more love and support we spread in this world the more we can receive.

Be that person, today, tomorrow and everyday.
