Let It Go by Rogue Ranger

You've been hurt, but it's time to let it go. No, I'm not saying what they did is right, but how is holding onto pain and resentment helping you heal? How is mistrusting people because of what others did to you making anything better? Yes, someone else caused you suffering, but they don't have the power. Who is the one feeling the hurt right now? You. That means it's your hurt, anger and resentment. You own it, it's yours to keep or to let go. I know it's hard, but you're not alone. #hope

Re: Yea, everyone doesnt seem to use colors anymore, but thats the way things go, life moves on. The only real reason im on colors again is because I miss painting with the app. I dont even know how active I will be.

I actually have a DA account with the same name as this one, I havent really used it though, I just made it and forgot about it. The whole reason why I made it was because I was going to paint with my computer and tablet and put it on there, but I never really gotten around to that. I guess I should mark that up higher on my priority list (which I legit have made)

Yes, our sunsets are that vibrant, but only in the summer time. In the summer there are so many tones of orange, pink and purple its always amazing. But this time of year they arent anything special.

Here's my pain! Being gay is not an approvable lifestyle for anyone in any circumstance nor should you be of this abnormality.

And the reason is just being gay makes me sick,and wondering where this pitiful world has gone.

Oh and the message is fine if you're in serious depression but that isn't my point. And i'm not gonna start an arguement,but you must understand being gay isn't the right way of living. (Oh and please comment on this.)

@irontrident00: I'm sorry if I've misunderstood, but you said "Here's my pain!" and "being gay makes me sick". If you don't support people who identify as gay, a lot of people feel that way. But pain and sickness is not disagreement with someone's life. Those words reflect internal harm. Maybe you don't mean physical pain and sickness, but you chose those words, which implies it really bothers you. You can't just blame people being gay for your feelings. You have control over them because they are *your* feelings. If you don't want to feel that way, you don't have to. It doesn't mean you have to change your entire view on life. It just means you don't have to be controled by the things you see in the world you don't like. You don't have to give pain that kind of power over you. You can be at peace.

It might help to put things in perspective. I noticed my attractions very early, so I had my whole life to get used to them, but that doesn't mean that I never thought about what it would be like to be "normal." Everything would be easy. Find a girl and live like everyone else, ordinary and predictable. After all, who would want to be hated and misunderstood just because they weren't straight? But then a series of events in my life made me realize that the challenges I faced were actually blessings in disguise. By being different, I learned empathy for others and I taught others empathy by making them see beyond the stereotypes in their head. I learned to appreciate the beauty and diversity of creation. Some people are drawn to blondes and some to redheads. If everyone were drawn to blondes, what would happen to the redhheads? Similarly, some people are drawn to members of their own gender in the way most people are drawn to members of their opposite gender.

The variety of life is beautiful and wonderous. We all fit together into a unique purpose for each of us. Nothing is an accident and burdens are just another word for lessons. It turns out that, long before I ever met my soulmate, the boys I was most attracted to looked like him. Beyond the lessons of being different, part of the purpose of me being gay was to meet him at the point in our lives when we most needed each other. We've been through a lot of struggles and, like with our families, we work toward common goals and are bonded by our love. Does everyone realize why they were made different? No. Many people try all kinds of things or even fall into negativity trying to find their way. But that doesn't mean they don't have a purpose. Everyone does. Being lost doesn't mean there's no way out. And, since gay really means happy or joyous, really we should all hope to have a gay life. :) Just remember the challenges are necessary for growth.

Oh and if you paid attention to your biology it wouldn't matter if nobody married redheads. There will still be redheads because of two genes that determine the color your hair would,be in a unique fashion in order to make a red head. (The following above is an example,please don't take in offense.) Oh and it's not natural for humans to be gay on any circumstances. So this is where I'll leave this comment section because I don't support your agenda on being "Curved". (NOW GOOD DAY SIR!)

Rogue Ranger

03 Feb, 2016, 10:18 pm

@irontrident00: I wasn't talking about making more redheads. There's more to life than se.x and reproduction. There's love. The currently existing redheads need it, just as everyone does. People matter as individuals, not just as a set of genes (though the genes would reduce over time in that scenario). I'm sorry if that example was unclear. Speaking of unclear, I'm still not sure why humans being gay (at the same percentage as other animals) bothers you. It's natural, so that's not it. Glasses, wheelchairs and clothes are unnatural, but they don't bother you, so that's an excuse. There's obviously something you're not mentioning. I hope you find what you're looking for and I'm sorry I was unable to help. My "agenda" is obviously love, hope, forgiveness and healing, but if anyone knows what my "agenda on being 'Curved'" means, please let me know. Take care! :)

Its so stupid. But i figered it out THANK GOD because i was having a panic attack XD

( @RR) A we are not animals. B the animals instict is to find a mate and C I wasn't talking about reproduction and it's especially unnatural if you like the same gender and let me conclude. The animals have a Instinct we have free will there is a diffrence. And this is more of an ultimate suggest than it is me enforcing it upon you and to top all of this off you can still be friends with your...oh how do I say this,Boy Friend? Now you can continue your life and feel depressed and i'll continue mine. This arguement has now been capped off.

Re: I will try to do stuff with my DA account eventually.

I have a list of stuff to do this month, split up in weeks, and then split up in days. I have been more productive than ever before because of this.

Whats more, I have created a bucket list that I worked on all last year, I have made it my life goal (Dream, I guess you could call it), to complete the list.
