I will never be silenced!

As I writer, I will never be silenced. People often feel uncomfortable by the things I compose; that is a matter for them not me.  I made a choice to document very difficult circumstances; situations that remain a source of contention; the exposure of injustices and more positively the start of new beginnings.

I make no apologies for the words I write, no guilt for exposing the guilty and no lies in place of truth. I write because I have to, people read because they want to and I hope to at least use my time productively doing what I was put on the Earth to do. Writing is indeed a passion, but using my preoccupation as a medium to help others is far more enlightening; making everything I compile worthwhile. Expressing how one feels in whatever capacity is important, whoever we are; whether we write, speak or put paint to canvas. Communicating our sentiment is an important, uniquely human trait; if we are silenced, we cease to evolve and grow, we become stifled; a prisoner of our mind.

However you choose to demonstrate your determination, is unimportant, the fact that you are creating, in the way you love best, is the only important issue at hand. As a child I read much; literature took me back to ancient times and books  escorted me on a journey of discovery. The words we write today, will be read by our ancestors in the future. I am no literary genius, far from it, but like Shakespeare I write what is important to me and those who scrutinize my efforts.

The key to the success or failure of the words you write, is whether someone else has found them useful and used them to adjust their life. I am not saying for one minute my writing has changed lives, but it has made others aware of important issues that disrupt our state of mind, causing pain everyday. People have begun to change their outlook because of a few simple words on a blog that I never believed would have any influence. I have spoken up for a silenced minority, who have suffered because of the abuse of others, I have received thanks for continuing to write as I do, criticism from those I am trying to expose and new challenges as my attention is diverted towards, other more demanding concerns.

Of course I write about a better life here in Spain and the more positive aspects of human nature, but I will not be silenced by those who believe in their own corruption and think I should let sleeping dogs lie; I wont! Don't let anyone silence your voice, words, dreams and beliefs; if they try, resist and make sure your voice is heard louder than ever before!
