To This Day

There is a poem by a man called Shane Koyczan. The poem is called To This Day and it’s about Koyczan’s experiences – and others’ experiences – of being bullied. It’s recently been animated and has gone hugely viral on YouTube. You may have seen it already, but just in case you haven’t, I thought I might put it here, because it’s very powerful and you should definitely see it… 

 

 

Also, if you want to see how far bullying can go, you might want to start reading these posts on Amanda Palmer‘s blog. It is extremely harrowing, but there is also plenty of stuff to warm the heart. 

 

…our lives will only ever always  continue to be  a balancing act

that has less to do with pain and more to do with beauty….
