In A Perfect World

What would happen to us in a perfect world?

Everybody has a purpose, everybody has a reason they're here, everybody has different interests and characteristics that make up who they are. In a perfect world, people wouldn't be shy about who they are, or be too scared to try new hobbies.

Today, we live in a world where we don't get very far without getting judged or looked down on. With social media and the influences of our lives, it's hard to voice your opinion without getting hate or any support. You'll always have your small support system that'll be there for you no matter what, but the rest of the world isn't your oyster, it's your shark. It's what were all scared of. You can call someone your best friend, but they'll be the first person to judge you when you tell them you found a new hobby or are interested in something else.

In a perfect world we wouldn't be looked down on when we voice our opinion, we wouldn't get weird looks when we find something new we enjoy doing, we wouldn't be sent in group chats, and talked about for my Instagram post from 2014. This era for some reason loves to be critical. I'm not sure if I'm alone by saying I hate being criticized, I hate being judged, I hate drawing attention to myself, I hate how I can't do anything without severely being judged.

In a perfect world, we would get out of the house and meet the loves of our lives, instead of sitting behind the screen, swiping left and right on their looks, when we don't know their personality, their story, or what they even truly look like. The social media impact on this world never fails to amaze me. People follow social media like it's their job, and I'm guilty of that myself.

I can't say I'm very innocent in this whole situation; we're all guilty of everything in this article, but I finally stopped in my tracks to realize what is actually going on in this world and how petty this entire world is. You can blame it on the era, but even our parents are guilty of everything. It's crazy how social media and everything has shaped our world. It has its amazing features and it has its negative downside. There will always be that negative side, partially from our era, but mostly because that's how this era was raised and how we were taught.

People can agree, or disagree with this article, but all I'm trying to get at is that we spread so much hate across this world- it's becoming our nature and were so caught up in it that we can't even stop and realize what we're doing.

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.
