My manager asked me to be more careful when doing my job because there was an inconsistency in the inventory......

I did my job right. They didn't.

They have worked here years, I've been here less than four months.

"You were the only person who started walking.

[im-not-for-everyone]

All my life, you found ways to turn my questions into punishments. Threatened to burn my tongue for speaking words against your wishes, and praised me as passive and polite to your friends.

And you knew exactly what you were doing, sending me away with any man who would take me.

You took pride in the fact that you had such perfect control over my every move, every word, that you didn't think to worry about the day when I would see you on your knees

Important life lessons:

Be honest about who you are.

Ask questions. Even if doing so challenges authority. 

Accept when you are wrong.

Have courage to say something. Especially after being told to stay silent.

Respect that others will not like you. Appreciate that they know who they want to be around.

Know when to let go. Its okay if you need to move on.

[im-not-for-everyone]

Talk to me, I'll keep your secrets safe, put your trust in me, I'll never turn you away

Never grow cold, always learn to love

And don't be afraid of what you might become

Do not fear that darkness in your heart

You cannot doubt your strongest thoughts

Being a warrior requires certain traits

When your a fighter, you have a different fate

Being distant might seem like instinct, but power comes when you're close to the fear

Find them for me. The people you say are special, the ones with a fire in their hearts and strength bigger than a lions!

Show me those who have fought the battles of life and win or loose, kept moving. Those who have suffered, have struggled and fallen apart but found a way to stand back up again.

Prove to me that they exist. Show me that they are you!

Only those brave enough to realize their inner strength will dare bow before my court. But we will see if they also possess the compassion and humility, to walk with me.

Strength is measured in many ways, few excel in all of them. But those chosen few, those who have proven themselves to life-will be recognized as the warriors we need. As the leaders we want to follow. As the friends we yearn for.
