Denial of Who I am
I wrote this a while back directed towards a certain person.  I did not put this on my site to bring back any childish tantrums from that person but because I wrote this and I believe it was good so I'm including this on my writings section of my website.  Most references to the person have been replaced with {} explaining the basics of what was written inside.  This is just something I wrote that was basically directed towards anyone denying someone else the right to be an individual.
{Basically I wrote this to a certain person in my journal so I was
directing it towards this person and to the people who may read
it in My journal}

It may be interesting to read for everyone else though..
just so you can know
..well... stupidity in the soul.

It's really good and I do believe everyone should read it.
It's more so about being a strong person, individual, soul
than about stupid childish nonsense.
It's a good read I believe.

It's about someone trying to deny me
of who I am.
When deep down inside.
they just aren't strong.

{then I basically explained what happened what happened in
the past and that sort of stuff la dee dah nothing important}

{this is probably the core of what made me write this.  The person
yelled at me for having an opinion.  Told me  everyone gets made at me
for having an opinion and basically told me I wasn't allowed to have an
opinion or state my opinion and most of the words in this was just a bunch
of curse words.}

Is it bad to have an opinion?
I have never once in my life known it to be a bad thing to be opinionated.
If you ever have kids I feel sorry for them to think they aren't allowed to have an opinion.
I can't even understand how you can be a human being
without knowing that it's Ok To have an opinion.
I can't even voice the words of how utterly unbelievable it is
that you even made the opinion comment.
I Pride myself in having an opinion.
That's what makes me an individual.
Not a unique individual.
an individual mind, body, and soul.
If I already didn't care about you.
The fact that you said that
makes you even more of a nothing to me.
To try and deny me of my opinion.
Unbelievable.

Yes, I have Strong opinions. I believe you may realize now that I have strong opinions on having opinions.
Yes. I have strong opinions about Drug Usage,  About Alcohol Abuse, and About Suicide. What you do not know is.  Exactly why I have these strong opinions towards those specific subjects.
Being that You do not know why I have these strong opinions You have No Right to bash my opinions or knock them down with what you think is reality.
Since you do not seem to know much about the importance of Opinions, Let me inform you that Opinions are Never Wrong.  Opinions are Never right. They just are.  They make a person who they are.  And that Is what makes them so Important.  If you do not have an opinion in life, than you are Nobody.

In reference to what you said about people getting angry with me.
How do You know?
Do you know Everything about everyone who knows me?
What gives you the right to tell me what people think about me?
What gives you the right to tell me what my friends will do?
My friends Have more respect for themselves and Me to bother with your
Nonsense.  That's all it is.  Nonsense.
Yet another thing that you try to deny me, Respect of my friends.

As for the rest of that
badly written, full of cuss words comment.
I do not wish to reply.

{Just another Remark I made in reference to something said
that doesn't have any importance}


I have pride in who I am as a person, as a human being, as a soul.
I do not lie about my life, my past, my future, my feelings.
It is all honest truth.
I have No Reason to Hide who I am.
I do not have respect for anyone who does not appreciate me for who I am.
A Person with my own Mind and Soul.
I do not have respect for anyone who does not appreciate themselves.
Who do not believe in themselves.
Who Do Not try to be a strong individual.

Those reasons are why I never kept respect for you.
It is those reasons that you mean Nothing to me.

{basically me telling this person exactly why I have no respect
for them and why I do not wish to speak to them anymore
and things of that sort.}

Know this.
I am a strong Person. 
I know who I am.
I am Proud of who I am.
There Is No One who Can Deny me of Being who I am.
There is Nothing anyone can say or do that will make me Deny who I am.

{Me concluding this by stating that if this person ever wanted me
to be their good friend they had to do the same in return.  They never
did.  So this is basically what I said Here}


I am Rachel.  I am A human Being.  I am a strong individual.  I am a body, mind, and soul.
You are No One To me.
