Don't Kill With Kindness, Kill With Silence

Exerting the negative energy is not worth it.

Just because we don’t particularly like someone, doesn’t mean we should wish bad things upon them. Or think nasty, judgemental thoughts about them. Sometimes, we just can’t help ourselves. We let the anger get the best of us we become filled with hatred.

What exactly is the benefit of that? I can tell you, there isn’t one. Not one single benefit comes from hating someone.

Yes, there are plenty of people in this world we have our differences with. May it be a slight disagreement over where to go for lunch or a full-blown breakup, accept and understand the difference, but don’t wish hurtful things. Don’t put your energy into anger because it will eat you alive.

Wish the best for them, because every living thing on this planet is facing their own battle and their own issues, why send more negative energy there way.

We are only human and not every person we cross paths with will be our friend. They might be our enemy or feel like they are the bain of our existence, and that is the beauty of interpersonal relationships. Human beings can love each other, hate each other, have life long friendships, make each other laugh, yell scream and cry.

We are all unique and beautiful in our own ways, and just because we don't exactly see eye to eye with one another does not mean an extreme amount of negative energy should be exerted on another human being.

Lately, the mantra of "don't wish negative things and don't think negative thoughts" about xyz has been on my mind. It's not easy to resist the anger, but it is healthier.

Instead of fighting and filling yourself with negative energy, grieving and understanding the difference is the long term solution. It's easier said than done, I get it. I am not saying to do everything in your power to fix the situation and you have to wish it the absolute best, but don't send negative vibes. Don't wish terrible things.

Instead, let it go. Give it silence and wish it well and put it to rest. It doesn't deserve the attention and you don't need to be filling yourself with negative energy.

Don't kill it with kindness, kill it with silence.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
