Writer's Note
Have you ever been in a situation where someone had the wrong idea about you? Have you ever assumed something about someone and felt bad because you were wrong? Has anyone called you by mistake? We've all encountered these types of situations at one point or another.
In my own personal experience, I can't tell you how many times other people have assumed things about me, judged me, and even blamed me for things that weren't even my fault. In some ways, being judged and treated unfairly made me angry but it also made me realize that these people were projecting unhealthy and toxic. I am sure that these 'nice' vocabulary words could never describe the psychological damage that you may have dealt with but I want to tell you that your feelings count. You deserve to be treated right, with respect, with equal opportunities and love from your community. We all deserve the right to be heard, to be seen, to thrive in this world!
