Steal My Thunder, Rape My Lightening

Alright now before you think that I'm making some kind of statement about "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", you're wrong. This is more so about the importance of learning (personally) when to shut the fuck up.

Everyone wants to be heard and share their stories. It what makes people seem interesting to everyone else, and people like to feel that their words matter. The thing that almost everyone forgets is that EVERYONE wants to feel important; you're not the only one who wants to have this feeling. We currently live in a state of mind where children are no longer only "best seen, not heard"; where women can receive an equal education to voice their opinions; where people of every race under the techno-colored rainbow can express basic human rights. With this much freedom to spread out voices, we kind of forget that other people want to do the same thing.
