Passing judgement

Judgement. The older I get the more I hate that word. I get passed by, judged, and dismissed all the time. I have become accustomed to it. Funny thing though, it doesn't stop me from reaching for my life goals. Some people have looked at me and have seen a lazy/fat person. Others, an old person, a tall person, or a person with a disability. The funny thing is, that I am those things, except lazy. None of these things stops me though. I still get up everyday, feed myself, take care of myself, go after my dreams and goals one step at a time, and love the people around me. It is unfair when people allow their judgements to keep me out of being a part of community though. But I'm not the one missing out... they are. They are missing out on knowing me better, and that is what's saddest of all. I have lots to offer, just like the next person. Just like you do. Whether or not people accept others, that is up to them. I just wish that judging others didn't have to be a part of it.
