An interesting thought about "Just"
I am going to write this quickly, because I am on my way to be photographed some more! But I really wanted to get this out...
For quite som etime now, I have been attempting to eliminate the word "just" from my families vocabulary. As in "Oh, this is just Franz"... when calling someone... It makes it sound like I am less than someone r or something else. "Just" sounds demeaning, belitteling and creates a sense of lack of worth - as in less than... I stop myself when calling people and change my words to, this is Franz. I am NOT just anything! Nor is anyone else! I thought I was a bit of a freak in tis and then I watched a movie last night called Finding Neverland... I won;t spoil the movie, but there was one scene where a small child says, "That is just a dog" and Johnny Depps reply is awesome! I couldn't have said it better myself...
I got to thinking about it more and more and decided I needed to share it with the world. Or at elast with anyone that actually reads this malarky :)
So, next time you are about to "just" yourself... STOP! You are much more than "just"! you ARE! Be confident in who you are, be proud of it and do not use a word like just to create any sense of insignificance about yourself...
Until the next time! PL&P!
