It was my birthday earlier this week and I turned 40. This may seem young or old to you. What I did discover though is that most people have an opinion about this birthday. This seems to be the case for other things in my life also. Mental illness and homosexuality are the two main ones.
I didn't set out to be an advocate for anything. But, often enough I find myself in discussions about these 2 things. It's ok, but also tiring. I care so much, and it is so personal. It can take its toll on my emotional state.
I often wonder if the people with the opinions remember that there are real people involved? That for the most part these real people are trying to live their live the best they can, just like everyone else.
