Howdy and Happy Friday Freewriters馃! Welcome to my 5 Minute Freewrite blog馃槉; Rise up!
Have y'all heard of the story of the donkey? The donkey that was buried alive by its master. Every time the master threw dirt in the hole where he intended to bury the donkey, the donkey shook itself vigorously, and then stepped on the same dirt. As the master continued to throw dirt, so did the donkey shake and stomp till it rose up to the ground.
The same burial happens every other day. People like to throw dirt at other people in an attempt to bury them in negativity. Some are not as strong as the donkey. Some are very resilient and with every shovel of dirt, they shake it off, stompt it onto the ground, and rise slowly to the surface.
With today's prompt and freewrite, I call you to mimic the donkey. Don't let others bury you with their opinions. Their opinions aren't as powerful as you fear. Your mindset is a weapon and if it is not strong, it will succumb to the dirt, but with a strong mindset and mentality, you will rise up no matter how many falls you encounter, no matter how much dirt is thrown your way.
Thank you for reading鉂わ笍!
