Don’t back down on things that matter – that’s what I learned today.

It’s 12  : 22 PM on day 1366 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, go back to sleep,  stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself  oats  for breakfast, read Psalm 53,  publish my Disability of the Day feature and promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on 81% (God help me).

Today something happened that taught me that I shouldn’t back down on things that matter oftentimes I notice things that concern me and I tell people that have the power to do something about it but they tell me I’m overreacting so I drop the issue and it always ends up hurting the people I love the next time I’m concerned about something I won’t drop it until somebody takes me seriously. Do you back down on things that matter because you feel like it’s not your place to get involved?
