Maybe You Are The Problem… That’s a Good Thing!
Looking back, I can’t think of one time when I wasn’t the “problem.”
Loud? Always.
Opinionated? Without a doubt. Sometimes for the better, other times for the worse.
But here’s the thing—I didn’t always speak for the attention. I wasn’t always loud just for the hell of it. Most times when I ruffled feathers, cracked a joke at the wrong time or shoved my foot firmly down my throat to be part of a discussion, it was coming from a good place:
Fighting for fairness when things weren’t right.
Throwing humor into chaos because sometimes, you just have to laugh.
Speaking up when staying silent felt like a crime because what they did was, without a shadow of a doubt.
Making myself useful when no one asked because if I wasn’t helping, what was I even doing?
So yeah… maybe I was the problem.
And what if that’s not the insult we think it is?
What if being the problem is actually the catalyst for growth—to shake up the system, step into our purpose and to refuse to stay quiet when “they” tell us to?
Because there is something deep into the depths of our soul telling us that we are onto something—let’s talk about that.
Not fitting into the mold. You know, the one they keep expanding—to reinforce their carefully constructed facade by casting out their encroaching spiderwebs of control into the crevices of our lives, where the Constitution drew a hard line against trespass.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to delivery. Speak the truth—explicitly, respectfully and unapologetically. Hold everyone accountable—including ourselves—and never lose sight of the bigger picture.
Because in the end, when people are willing to become “the problem” for the sake of the truth, privacy and safety, they are often the very people who help balance the scales of life.
