A Change is gonna come!

Today’s blog, is on something, although I have wished could happen, I didn’t think was actually an achievable goal.

It all began to unfold over a conversation had not too long ago, one in which, I was being thanked, because my fierce arguments on equality, on acceptance, on respectfulness had been heard, had actually made them more aware of their actions, and those of others and had had an impact!

To say I was emotional, gobsmacked and shocked, would be a severe understatement.

For a large chunk of my life, I’ve been a strong personality, needing to fight for what I believe to be right, for love, for understanding and for treating everyone fair and equality. I was a keen debater, but if I ever needed to be on an opposing side, to which I didn’t believe to be correct, I couldn’t do it, I’d rebel, and throw the debate, at which point any thought path of a lawyer went right down the drain, with my loosing team, and their less than thrilled debating partner, yours truly.

My point is, I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t sit by and try to win an argument I didn’t agree with, and throughout the years, I had come to realise that although I held strong beliefs, no matter how I jumped on the soapbox, from stating facts, issuing emotional pleas, using insults and name calling (not that I am proud of that, but I desperately wanted nay needed to see people were capable of change)

It didn’t matter.

I have, on a number of occasions, pleaded with the God’s, the universe, my inner self to have the capability to make the changes I feel we need, to help people on a greater scale, but I had seen that fall on deaf ears so to speak...

Until this conversation!

Until another, very strong willed person, admitted, that if I’d had any effect on them and their life, it was my complete and utter unwavering belief that everyone is equal and everyone is enough, and that I had changed their opinion, and opened their eyes, and had even pulled up other people on this behaviour....

WOW.

Still now I’m semi in shock, the unachievable, has been achieved, I actually did it.

But the more uplifting surprise from this, is the courage I now have, if I can change one, I can change hundreds, I just need to find my outlet.

So unicorns, what can we take away from this? Well, we can do it. We can be those changes we wish to see. WE ARE ENOUGH 🦄
