Can’t you think about something else?

Stop judging us by our names.

Your name makes you sound short, fat, deep voiced, big families, skinny, high pitched, whiney,
idiotic, pathetic, strong, stressed, tweaked, carefree, young, old, angry, peaceful, lost in dreams, earth bound.

Your name sounds dumb. It doesn’t fit you. You look more like a this or a that.

Don’t judge people by their names if you want respect for your own.

Can you realy pick so much out of a person by making fun of their name?

Yes. You Can.

And It Hurts.

Think about you own name before you comment.

Do I sound like this all has happened to me?

It has.

My name is Ryeela.

Yeah. Yeah. Say what you want.

What does my name say about me?

What does it imply?

What are you reminded of when you say it?

Does it roll off your tongue nicely or is it choppy?

Does it make you cringe?

OR remind you of a friend?

Whatever it makes you feel think about your own name before making fun of mine please.

I could make a lot of jokes about you too I’m sure.
