Ode to a Friend

The world told you women were weak.

So you went and stayed strong.

The world told you only money makes the world go round.

So you went and quit your job to raise a family.

The world told you men are assholes.

So you went and loved the kindest one you could find.

The world told you children need a better education.

So you went and homeschooled them because you realized the educational system sucks.

The world told you white people were racist assholes.

So you defended the right to base our opinions of people on their personality traits and acknowledge that people are products of their environment.

The world finally called you a Troll.

So you went and wrote a beautiful book on how to be a better fucking Troll.

To my fellow troll EstherFlowers1 - for teaching ME how to be a better fucking troll :) I'll always love you, dear teacher/mentor/mother/mediator/friend
