The text I wrote today in the creative writing workshop

I don’t know if anyone is even going to see this but I don’t care,this is actually more for me so I won’t ever lose my text and in general so I can be reminded of everything special that happened in my life and won’t forget about it (the theatre festival in this case)

Anyways that’s my text,if anyone is actually going to read this,give me your opinion( it is not meant to be a poem or a really perfect text or anything it’s just a little something I wanted to share with the world[the people at the festival])

Acceptance.

Sometimes I wonder,why some people think they have the right to decide about someone else’s life.My girlfriend was raised in a Muslim family.they basically take all her freedom away.If her parents found out she’s queer,they’d probably not just punch her and insult her but also throw her out of the house,even tho she is a minor.Her parents already planned the perfect life path for her and whenever she does something that doesn’t exactly fit into her parents plan,she gets punished.If my girlfriend would show er parents who she really is,they would probably hate her.Day by day my girlfriend has to make the decision between being herself and getting her parents’ respect.one day she’ll have to fight against her own family if she wants to choose love in her life.sometimes I feel guilty because of that.If I never met her,maybe she wouldn’t even have discovered that she’s queer.There would have never been someone who motivated her to not always listen to what her family tells her.If she never met me her life would be so different.For the rest of her life she’d have to pretend to be someone she could never be and would never want to be.but would that really be better for her?easier? I do not think so.Many humans have to live with the daily fear of having to hide who they really are.this is just wrong.You don’t have to agree with someone’s opinion every time,neither you have to support them but at least you should respect people for who they are and not force them to become someone else.No matter what religion,sexuality,style or character-in the end we are all just humans who want to be happy.and we  can only be happy if we are allowed to be ourselves. With a bit more empathy and acceptance for each other,this shitty planet would be so much better.

(Don’t mind my bad English the original text is German I tried to translate it as exact as possible)
