My social media feed is dominated by political stances, pictures of riots, and opinions of immigrants. I have seen people being called out as liars, aliens, and idiots. It's exhausting. I see love trying to spring through but is clouded by the hate that screams louder. Our world is struggling and amidst the mess, I have forgotten to share what is really important.

1. You are beautiful.

The message of beauty is one that is often misrepresented. No matter who you are, you are beautiful. Not the "you are beautiful on the inside" or the "your imperfections make you beautiful" crap that people tell you to make you feel better because you don't match the beauty that is portrayed in the media, but the sincere kind of beautiful, the type of beautiful that I can't describe because it's different for everyone. You are beautiful because you are you, that's the message we should be sharing.

2. You are strong.

Strength comes in a variety of sizes: the physically strong, the intellectually strong, the emotionally strong, etc. Maybe you aren't strong in any of these categories, maybe you are you fit in all of them, or maybe you carry a different kind of strength, a strength that I can't define. We should be sharing the different strengths in us all. Let's give props to the strong that are here while their loved ones face immigration issues and let's give props to the strong that are watching all of their friends fall in love while they remain single. Share the strengths as different as they are.

3. You are right.

When was that last time you admitted you were wrong? I, for one, am never wrong. So obviously telling someone they are right is hard for me to do. It becomes easier to just ignore the issues or hold onto my stubbornness than to tell someone they were right. People today can start an argument on the internet and be completely wrong and never look back. No one can just swallow their pride and say, "hey, I was wrong, you were right." Maybe, they aren't right, but maybe you aren't right either. You were probably arguing over differing opinions which would make neither of you right because they are your opinions. Either way, own up and admit you can sometimes be wrong. Occasionally someone else can be right and you should tell them. Share the idea that it's okay to be wrong.

4. I believe in you.

When it seems like you just can't handle what the world is throwing at you, but you know that one friend will go out of their way to get you your favorite comfort food. When you need encouragement and you know that someone will be there to lift you up through whatever means necessary whether that means late night Cookout trips or a Nicholas Cage movie night. That's what having someone believe in you is like. It's knowing that they know you can do it even if you don't feel like you can. I believe in all of my friends 100%, but sometimes I forget to share that with them. Do your friends know you believe in them? Believing in someone is the type of messages we should be sharing.

5. I trust you.

Trust is one of those things that takes months to build but only seconds to break. Trust is harder to give than compliments and encouragement, it's something that has to be worked for. I don't trust easily, in fact, there are very few people I actually trust. I'm not even sure they know I trust them because I have never told them. Most people don't outright tell our friends, "hey, I trust you, I am going to tell you this secret." We don't do that, but we should. We should tell those people we trust them because trust is a precious thing. How can anyone protect something they don't know they have? Trust is a message that should be shared.

6. I love you.

love is the hardest message of all to share. We can easily say, "I love you" all day long and not mean one word that comes out of our mouths. The trick to sharing love is by showing it. People show a variety of types of love in a variety of ways. It shouldn't matter if it's romantic, platonic, amicable or whatever, I don't care. I don't even care if you express your love by silent support or bold proclamations. It doesn't matter and it shouldn't matter. Love, honest love, should be shared above all.
