When the world says you’re wrong, find your right! The world was telling me I was nothing,
nothing but wrong. I was the wrong race,
being a part of the minority race in Canada.
I was a part of the wrong culture, being a Canadian living in the Caribbean. I was the wrong weight, I was obese. I was the wrong shade of color, being born
dark skinned. I was in the wrong
profession, working a customer service job, by choice. I lived in the wrong place choosing to make
my home on a small island, instead of England or America, as some
suggest. I used the wrong speech,
speaking Standard English, instead of the common dialect. I did everything wrong!
Was I frustrated? Was
I angry? Was I stressed about it? Somewhat, but I used that energy to discover
my right. It lead me to writing. At first my writing was purely scholastic, for
school purposes. Then I realized I liked
it and was good at it and that it could be therapeutic. Writing was my right. No one could tell me I was wrong when I
wrote. I could express how I felt, what
was on my mind, what was going on in my life.
How do you find your right?
Ask yourself what do you like?
What do you enjoy? Then ask
yourself, what work needs to be done, what is important that needs to be
addressed? Then think to yourself how
can I perform a work or a solution to something that needs to be addressed in a
way that I can enjoy it?
