LABELS - MY FIRST KILL

DO YOU LOVE GREY? WEDNESDAYS 6PM

MY FIRST KILL

I killed Laura with my bare hands!  I should have guarded my thoughts or at least guarded my ugly pronged fork tongue. It was all my fault.
I envied her. She was brown in complexion, like chocolate. I have always wondered what sort of cream she used but I couldn't bring myself to ask her. Anytime I see her, my color view turns deep green from jealousy. She was slim and petite. She also had the body I wished I had; my dream body.
Don't ask me why I saw Laura that way, for I really can't say.
She was my first kill...
I unknowingly started by typing a few negative body shaming words... A few words, characters... I even used an hashtag!
I created five anonymous media accounts and I bullied her with my words at every chance I could get. It was intentional!
I slowly gathered a massive fanbase of like minds that helped me like, and share these negativity and in fact, they added their thoughts. It felt good to have such supporters, at least I was a social media influencer.
Every time she posts something or a new topic about her trended, I launched a progressive attack.
She died six months after I started, I was so meticulous... I think I'm insane!
Laura and I only shared two sentences on matriculation day but I envied her for no reason.
Here I am, in confession...
Dear friend, I have navigated through the quagmire social media to celebrate my sarcasm and smart remarks.
Dear 'labels' reader, how often do we use our sense of "self hate" and "lack" to bring others down? You are bitter so others must be bitter too?
You easily destroy and bash other people for their shortcomings, you are the Professor of Cyber Bullying and massive dispensation of Judgements!
You make jokes at other people's expense, thereby killing their self esteem. A lot of people are depressed and sad because of what you type, while others are just "Living Corpses".
You hide your insecurities and prejudice behind a fancy media account that says little to nothing about you. This year (2019) is your year of repentance! Make sure you repent! Stop Spreading negative energy and bad vibes.
Hey, Love yourself so you can love others! 

Self awareness is key to human living. 

Be kind, life is too short, life is grey!
