Blog Post #5: Just Because it’s a popular choice doesn’t mean it’s the right decision

 Now let’s take cultural assimilation for a example, it’s popular for example speak English in America or have unhealthy diets (no offense lol) but just because it’s a POPULAR OPINION  doesn’t mean it’s the best opinion. It could cause, medical problems or cultural difficulties. Yeah, you could fit in but you shouldn’t just let go of your culture and your personality.

Or another type of example is being at school and a lot of people are picking on a kid because i don’t know, they want to for some reason. Now would you go with the popular opinion-to bully people or the unpopular and looked down opinion, not picking on them and speaking out. And don’t lie, most of you guys would pick the popular opinion. And I’m not gonna judge, because at some point, I did too.

But what to understand is: your decisions could have a negative or positive effect on you and you might be asking, “Rune? If it affects my lifestyle and not theirs, why does it affect them?” Well see here, it’s like the domino effect, probably most of you guys have a good or bad reputation. So it will affect the way other people look at you and trust you and value your friendship. But it all matters if you do the right decision. 

And yes, sometimes bad decisions COULD give you good reputation on one side, but it’s not going to do ANY good to the whole. So just think in your mind, would you choose to do the right thing or the bad thing. And you don’t have to like comment about it and everything but I just want all of you to know your true self.

Have a good day- Rune

Blog Post #4: LGBTQ+ is valid!

 I know I briefly mentioned this in Blog Post #2 but I wanted to expand on this subject a bit more. LGBTQ+ is valid for many reasons… 1. Personal identity Identity matters to a lot of people, and nobody should bully people for just being bi or gay or non binary. 2. My body, my choice. No matter if your parents are forcing you in general, your body and life is always your first in your priority list. No matter what. 3. Love is love and gender identity is gender identity It is what it is. And don’t be ashamed These are just a FEW examples of how lgbtq+ is valid. Another thing! If you are planning to come out to your parents or friends, just know that you might get a bad reaction, it’s really a 50/50 in my opinion. When I came out to my friends, they icked and ewwed and a lot of people called me transgender even before I came out so it was like they just, really didn’t care to talk to me about it but to bully me about it. And it’s okay! You can’t change the way people think about thin...

Blog Post #2: What does identity mean to you?

 Identity is more then a word we use to describe ourselves, but its more of a backstory and truth to you. And we all have one thing in common, unless your a perfect person, we have lied to people all our lives about who we really are, including me. People used to look down on me like i was a tiny pebble in a huge ocean. Like because of my identity and how i defined myself as LGBT+ or how i spoke out against manipulation and bullying and tried to defend others, it turned on me.  But i managed to go throughout the whole year of identifying myself, and you want to learn the secret to how i did it?, I used my heart to express myself in many ways. And don't be ashamed because someday you will stumble upon open minded people with things in common. You just have to have the flicker for hope in you to keep going. So, lets go back to my question of "what does identity mean to you". Does it mean to you your true-self, a word with a definition of being you. Repeat that to yourself a...
