I don't know if you all have heard about, or seen, the movie Bully. But if you haven't, you REALLY should! I bring this up because I've had my fair share of being bullied and harassed, which started this blog almost 2 years ago.
This movie opens eyes to the bully, the victim, the parents, the school boards, administrations, and every human being on this planet. There is not a day that goes by I don't think about this film. And I am the BIGGEST movie junkie and it takes a lot for me to really appreciate a film. And this one is on the top of my list.
It's the biggest motivation I have. Where one person, Lee Hirsch, can have the guts to put real life on camera and show people what is being sugar coated.
There is NO sugar coating in this blog. This is the one and only place I can truly speak my mind.
When someone asks me how I'm doing, all I say is fine...
When someone asks me on my blog how I'm doing, I'll tell you how I'm really doing. There is no censorship here. And there is no censoring that movie.
Lee Hirsch commented and liked a wall post I left on the bully facebook page,
https://www.facebook.com/bullymovie
and it just made my life. I really do aspire to be like him. I'm currently writing short stories based on my experiences. And I am free writing a story based on some of my life problems as well. Right now it's just venting and creativity and an escapism. Who knows what it can become.
I'm so thankful for this blog. I don't know where I'd be without it.... Before I started this blog I was crying every single day. I bottled everything so deep inside of myself I was ready to burst. I am lucky enough to have had a doctors appointment one day, and my doctor asked me to track what I do everyday and how I've been feeling. That lead me right here. And now, a year and 11 months later... look where we are.
To those who have been here since the beginning, there are no words to express the love I have for you. To the anonymous readers, the followers, the facebook friends, everyone.
Things are happening for me this summer... And I can't lie, I'm so excited.
Go check out the movie Bully.
"You're either a bully, bullied, or a by-standard."

It's me again! The mystery person who wrote in your blog before!
ReplyDeleteI am excited for your procedure! You sound so happy and I am glad that you are counting down the days to start fresh!
I have not seen the Bully movie but have heard a lot about it and I plan to check it out soon! I also just want to say keep your chin up! Your new hair is GORGEOUS. (Red is a good color!)
I was bullied too growing up and it has definitely followed me everywhere, every single day of my life. It is horrible what things people can say. I'm currently trying to shake these remaining memories and effects they have on me, and it's hard work. But every day gets better. :) Smile!
Ahhh thank you! Who are you?? :) It's killing me! lol.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely see bully! :)
