Choose To Be Human

Choose To Be Human
HumansAreFree

Sometimes someone so far away or someone you don’t even know can make you day and touch your soul. Ruth wherever you may be I just wanted to take this time to thank you for the amazing chat and reminder to stay steadfast in my religion. We are of different origins and different religions but in our conversation there was no difference. You were an imperfect girl as was I. We spoke as two friends who were searching for the deeper meaning in life. You reminded me that leaning on humans and expecting them to hold you up is a flawed plan, as humans are bound to let you down. You reminded me that putting my faith in Him and letting Him hold me was the only way I could ever 100 percent lean back. You told me that our life is like a tapestry. We are always weaving new pieces on and it isn’t perfect. The pieces sometimes don’t all match and sometimes their are worn out pieces and holes, however its still ours. You told me we can use it as a thing of beauty or we can choose to hide under it. You reminded me to choose to show its beauty to the world scars and all rather then conceal it.I don’t know what I would have done had He not set it up so that we would chat. I’m pretty sure I would have still felt the extreme anxiety and sadness that had stricken me before our conversation. You don’t have to be Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, Hindi, or an Atheist to help someone whose feeling down, feel better. Your religion is irrelevant in that sense you are human first. Choose to be Human, whether or not you believe in God. Thank you Ruth, I hope one day we should meet so I can embrace you and maybe aid you on a day in which you feel saddened. However I do pray that no harm, pain, sadness, or hurt comes your way. Thank you my dear friend, I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.

Sincerely

Lonegirl96

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.
