A never ending journy, an eternity of anguish, and life filled with two lives to live. For James, this is all too familiar. One life online, where he has friends to care for, to love, amd to charise. The other life, the outside life, a life full of both sorrow and happiness, where he finds friends to smile at but also to shy away from. The second life he shys away from because of judgment, the fear of being watched and of asumptions of what he really is. This life is of both sadness and happiness mixed together, a life he loves and fears, a life of judgment. Two lives, yet both having similarities. Both, he is judged, offline he is judged on what they only see on the outside, but online, he is judged of what people see within him.

Of these lives, he finds great friends but also great challenges. The callenges of being accepted by everyone, challenges that he fortakes day by day, it seems to be everyday when he is seen or heard. Of all the takes he faces, none of them has he brought upon anyone else. All of which he feels he should be the only one to face, and that no one should have to face but himself alone. He feels that everyone deserves better than what he faces everyday, no matter what victories are won.

Everyday he knows what challenges he would have to face, and everyday he is judged differently. Not once has he ever thought of judging anyone, never has he tried nor had to. Just a gaze will he see everything there is in a person. he feels the way to really know of a person is to get to know them and to look into their eyes. To see the true them, to know the inner emotions of a person, to know what fills the heart of another.

Quiet and observant is how he lives his outside world, making friends with anyone, even the people he doen't even know, for he knows only that they are friends and that he respects everyone. He respects everyone because he thinks everyone is worth everything. He respects them because they have choices, because they are human and should be treated as such, because he knows that everyone can be respected.

The other life, is equal to the other in was and just as different. There he can act the same but more open to conversation. There he can act the way he knows he should act. With respect, kindness, a caring heart he starts a conversation. Never has he denied anyone of being treated with with respect, kindness, caring, or love. Never has he judged anyone online. For because of which the people online seem to show their true selves by how they speak. Either with kindness and a gentle voice, or with a dark and rude reaction. But no matter what he faces online he goes throghout his day acting as if everything is ok, as if nothing bad has happened. No matter what he faces he always ends out the same, judged but still himself.
