People really need to educate themselves about the world and it’s people. It’s hilarious watching all of these stupid people trying to be smart and opinionated when they have no clue how the other half of the world lives. They’ve never left town but they’re so sure a whole religion can be evil and hateful lol

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works, operates
Man, we gotta have love just to set us straight

Black Eyed Peas- Where is the Love

I’m just starting to realize that the people who have the most conservative, ignorant opinions about a group of people are the ones who have never lived outside of their comfort zone. They’ve never met anyone from another country (that’s not Canada or Mexico), they’ve never seen how the other side of the world lives. How can you pinpoint or discriminate if you’ve never taken the chance to learn about the unknown? What you think is not what it seems.

When you start to discriminate, the little cycle of hatred and anger is complete. And it is sad that not everybody can open their hearts or their minds. Fear, ignorance, and hate are all part of the same mentality.

I am finding that even with a broken heart, I still love whole heartily.

When I watch the news

and hear of all these politicians talk about a certain race of people, I just think…..

When you have fear of the unknown, instead of being afraid, look into it and try to understand it. It is easy to fall into the beliefs of others, but only you can develop your own eyes and your own understandings. Fear and ignorance are a part of the same mentality. When you gain knowledge about the world around you, & it’s cultures, that’s when you lose your fear. For some, blindness is never cured. These are the people that live in a fragile state of mind and do not care to see past their doorstep. They will die with the smallest heart. Filled with only hate. It is only when you open yourself up to the world, you gain love and peace. When you travel, that is when you gain a heart so palatial, it is bound to beat right out of your chest.

But if I ever find,
another place, a better time
for that moment, I was never what I am

I won’t forget, I won’t forget

Maybe someday, you’ll be somewhere
talkin’ to me, as if you knew me

In between the lines
is the only place you’ll find
What you’re missing, what you didn’t know was there

You must do your best to try
and forgive me, this weakness
This weakness

‘Cause I don’t know what to say
another day, another excuse to be sent your way
another day, another year

Maybe someday, you’ll be somewhere
talkin’ to me, as if you knew me.

I think I’m at that point in my life where I’m content without people. I don’t really have a problem with letting people go anymore. I know who I am, and if someone doesn’t like it, then that’s fine. I’ll just focus on the people in my life that love me and enjoy my company. I find that today, even when there’s conflict in my life, I still laugh and wear a huge smile. And I think that’s really important. It certainly takes a while for you to finally get there, but it’s rewarding.

You’re thinking that I hate you now
‘Cause you still don’t know what I never said

I wish you would come back,
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
And I wish you knew that I’ll never forget you as long as I live
And I wish you were right here, right now, it’s all good
I wish you would

It’s 2 AM in my room
Headlights pass the window pane, I think of you

And I wish you knew that I miss you too much to be mad anymore
And I wish you were right here, right now, it’s all good.
I wish you would

And I wish you knew that I’ll never forget you as long as I live
And I wish you were right here, right now, it’s all good
I wish you would

I wish you would, I wish you would
I wish you would, I wish you would

When it comes to clothes, I have 20 different sides. I love the whole bad girl look, but at the same time, I love bright colors, and all that jazz.

I’m going to Las Vegas in 2 weeks, and I decided to go with a classy hot pink dress, and bright royal blue heels. I also have a bright red blazer to pair with it.

I’m just glad that I’m good with fashion, overall.

I’m really fucking terrified.
