Lets Think Outside The Box

This last month, through out my life I have sadly come to realize that this world is full of closed-minded people. It completely disgusts me the length people would go in order to stay closed minded. It should be considered a disorder, I mean why not? Who really has control over what characteristics all together make you deemed hopeless?

Closed-Mindedness has spread all over this world and held so many souls captive. You will know right away if you are already reading this and thinking negatively about my words; and that is because you are closed-minded.

Even just in US history; look at all the negative events that occurred because people were closed-minded; Racial Hate, Sexual Orientation, Religious beliefs, Political differences, Different lifestyles even. Martin Luther King, is a perfect example of what I mean, do some research and see how much violence and deaths happened because of closed-minded people. Hitler, Do I even have to get into that one? A World War.

If you don't like those examples look at how the US Media has effected everyone. And yes Everyone. Appearance has become more important than a persons character. Just even by hearing stories from my nieces who are in elementary school, kids have gotten very cruel. Just because of a persons weight does not define who they are. This is just a perfect example of closed-mindedness.

My heart has broken for human beings, I wish that I could somehow help each and every person that deep down knows there is so much more. After I realized all of this it took some time to heal, to accept that this is how life has been and will be until one day it will go too far. But there is always hope. I am living my life to the fullest, I have no regrets, I love my life every negative thing has always brought me better character. I may be young but I am so in tune with myself. I am ready for what this world has to offer me.

I do not know you, I know these are just words but whoever you are; My heart reaches out for you, you are not alone, there is always time for change.

After all, every person in history who was remembered for centuries to come after their time, He/She thought outside the box and was determined to make change happen. So with these thoughts I hope that we can all gain a sense of self.

Be your own hero.

The Only Universal Language

Something that completely blows my mind as well puts a sense of peace to my life is knowing that everyone on this earth appreciates music.

And look at how music had developed through the centuries! My appreciation for music has grown so much over the years, being a 90's kid I loved me some Nsync*, Britney Spears, Michelle Branch, Cold Play, You had every single Now that's what I call music! CDs & You recorded your favorite songs that played on the radio. :)) I also loved the oldies station that would rock The Beatles, I know all the worlds to "Hit the road Jack", I appreciated Marilyn Monroe's classy songs as well! Went to Garth Brooks concerts as a kid, and enjoy his christmas album every year! There are so many Genres to explore too! I could go on and on!

But music has always been a "language" that everyone in this world can appreciate, value, respect, and cherish. Everyone in the world doesn't have that kind of passion for religion, or politics, or helping those less fortunate! Music has captivated the hearts of everyone and every thing.

I know that when I listen to music, I can escape into another world, I can explore the sounds and reach outside myself. Music frees my mind and inspires me.

How has music effected your life? :)

How Do You Do

I am a writer, it is something I have always enjoyed. Being able to express myself through words has opened up my mind, heart, and soul to many windows of opportunity. I love photography as well. Ever since I took a picture with a dinky disposable camera, I grew a passion for its art. More about me later, first I want to say that through the years I have struggled, tried to crawl my way out of depression, I fought to find who I was, No matter what I did I could not find the answers I so craved. I began to realize that you will find dead ends, broken hearts, and a deep emptiness trying to "find" who you are. Life is about creating yourself! Life should be seen as a playground, there is so much to explore and grow and appreciate. I'm sure In my blogs I will share my journey so far with you; but If there was ever something I needed someone to tell me it was that I am not alone.

And you are not either my friend, I've realized that you can not listen to anyone that brings negative energy into your life. You have to stay in tune with you, You have the power to be positive, optimistic, adventurous, anything you desire or dream of is something to be cherished and supported. I am here to offer my support, to grow with those willing to move forward and not worry about looking back.

I titled this blog "No Day but Today" because it is my reminder (tattooed on my wrists) that you should live every day to the fullest & happiest. I know that life will never be perfect, but while I am alive I will certainly do my best to help, support, love, & cherish those around me.
