Draw a line

It's so hard to stand alone. To take a stance, and remain that way, waiting for someone to join you.
So, so hard. It's understandable why people don't do it often.
What makes it hard isn't standing alone, it's people's opinions. Judgements. And having no one to back you up. No one to agree with you. That's what makes it hard.

I don't know many who have done it. Even as we've grown, people still remain beside each other, in hope they won't be opposed or singled out.
I tend to step forward.
The feeling of being trapped by other's thoughts and ways of life, I just cannot deal with. I rather stand alone then under protection of those who I do not agree with.
But when I step forward, people fall in line behind me. It's not often long, I realise that others feel the same way. They just didn't have the courage to take the first little step.

So, in the end, we won't be standing alone. Just for those first few minutes, or hours, or sometimes days. But once people listen to your beliefs and your views, I can almost guarentee you, people will stand by you.
Not just your friends either.

Be confindent, be strong and be who you want to be.
We don't always need each other to back us up, we need to rely on our own judgements sometimes.
