A World

Imagine we lived in a world

where we were blind to color

color of skin, color of life, color of love

Our eyes and minds were blind to bias

and our hearts were free to explore.


Imagine we lived in a world

where children weren't hungry

mothers weren't restless

and fathers stayed.


Imagine we lived in a world

where worth wasn't based upon

the amount likes, retweets,

or copy & pastes

we received in order to

feel relevant in this race

Imagine we lived in a world

where politics wasn't a game

but a movement used

to make a change

that bettered society

instead of perpetuating misogyny.


Imagine we lived in a world

where nuclear warfare

wasn't a reality

but humility and kindness

was the basis for morality

Imagine we lived in a world

where faith wasn't questioned

but used to heal the bruise

of wounded soldiers and the

abused.


Imagine we lived in a world

where women's bodies were a temple

and not a temptation

to degrade, demoralize, and objectify

because well "I'm a guy"

and its "aight".

Imagine we lived in a world

where disability wasn't

a reason for humility

but celebrated for

its unique ability

to brighten a room

instead of focus on gloom

because a grateful heart

is better than hateful art.


Imagine a world where

cities upon cities

weren't stricken with poverty

and people didn't rely on armed robbery

to provide for their starving

families who lived

out of Camrys

but the wealthy

could walk out of their

Bentleys and learn to serve

like our God, Jesus

instructed us to in His Word.


Imagine this world and create it.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
