Let's Breathe (15)

I am stubborn. I have no problem admitting it whole heartily. But as I grew as a person, I've learned to understand that being stubborn and thinking one sided will never get me anywhere. It's hard discussing touchy subjects when it feels like people refuse to try to understand your side of view. You feel like you're running into a wall head first because there is nothing that you can say to make another person think otherwise. And no matter how much you agree with the other person, they will never come to terms with you. I haven't felt like this a lot this semester until we got into White Privileged. I don't usually think on things a week later after class unless it's necessary, but I've found that I've been doing that a lot recently. I think as a people we sometimes forget that any answer we say towards these discussions are just opinions. Discussion are like brainstorming; it's not about being right or wrong, it's about thinking. Finding depth in subjects that on another day we would brush off and not think twice on. But when all is said and done, I hope one day that this term would cease to exist.
