taratemimaIt's Passover right now, and somehow I was lame and didn't ask around for a seder. I have a lot of hestitation about becoming Jewish. I realize that not only will it require work, but also talking with family and changing a lot of habits in accordance with Jewish principles.
One thing is lashon hara. There is much I need to work on, but one thing I try to avoid is bullying. The snickering, the rumors and the constant harping on faults is part of that and is expressedly forbidden. I was bullied throughout middle school. Perhaps that is what spurred to me to write (the paper was the only thing that didn't make idle threats of suspension). Perhaps that got me to go to an all-girls Catholic high school (if I was talked about, at least I wasn't pushed). Out of all my formative life experiences, it is one that I rather I didn't have.
It made me hate my body. It made me hate my mind. It made me hate humanity.
I will not stand for this
