In A Perfect World...

What would happen if we lived in a perfect world?

In A Perfect World...
Danielle Lynn Hayes

What would the world look like if it was perfect? Would it be beautiful and full of lush forests, blue oceans, and drop dead gorgeous people? Or would it be beautiful as in full of people with beautiful hearts and souls? We currently live in a toxic world full of hatred, abuse, and cruelty. In a perfect world, none of that would exist.

In a perfect world, there would be no racism. Everyone would be treated equally regardless of their skin color, and no one would have to suffer at the hands of hatred simply because of something that they cannot change. We would stand hand in hand, heart to heart, and soul to soul without conflict. There would be no riots in the streets, no crying out in the courtroom, and no unnecessary funerals for lives taken far too soon. In a perfect world, I could love a man whose skin is darker than mine, without consequence. In a perfect would, we would have true equality.

In a perfect world, there would be no child abuse and no neglect. All children would be wanted, cared for, and loved. They would have homes, food, and loving parents who would not think about abusing them for any reason whatsoever. In a perfect world, there would be no reason for abortion. All babies would be born happy and healthy, to mothers that love them, whether they be biological or adoptive. In a perfect world, every child would be safe.

In a perfect world, there would be no bullying. Absolutely no child would have anxiety about going school because they are afraid of being picked on. They would not come home crying, or with bruises. There would be no physical or emotional scars. In a perfect world, the bullies, would not have a need to be cruel. In a perfect world, there would be no depression or suicide. There would be no funeral for a child who took their own life because they were picked on so much. In a perfect world, people would not be so cruel.

If I could make the would perfect, I would change the hearts of millions. I would take away their pain and suffering to make them see the world in a new light. If i could make the world perfect, I would fill it full of beautiful, Godly souls. Only in a perfect world.

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
