Love Cannot Be Killed Or Swept Aside

Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love.

Netflix's 'Love'

It stuns me when I log onto any of my social media platforms and see how people view love. Love is both simple and complex. It takes some people many years to understand it's meaning and fully appreciate what it is. I love love! I become jubilant when I see people happily in love. However, when I see things such as "The Homosexual Agenda" and people who are fighting for laws to be created that prohibit homosexual couples from getting married or adopting children, I become infuriated.

Many people argue that if homosexuals have the right to marry, then it will ruin the sanctity of marriage. I'm sorry, but I do not understand your reasoning behind this claim. If homosexual couples gain the right to marriage, then what will happen? It will cause marriage to become less of a thing? It will ruin the meaning of marriage? Divorce ruins the sanctity of marriage, not people who love each other.

The argument for "homosexual couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt children" is that the children will somehow "become" gay. As opposed to popular opinion, being gay is not a choice. Sane people do not "choose" to become ridiculed day to day and they do not "choose" a lifestyle where they would rather die than be who they are. It is not a choice. Also, if the reason why people "become" gay is because they are influenced by their parents, why do millions of heterosexual couples have gay children?

There is no such thing as a "homosexual agenda." There isn't anything that needs to be fought against. The only things that they're fighting for is to have the same human rights that heterosexual people have. If you want to fight for something, fight for the homo sapiens agenda. That's what they are: humans. They're just like you and me.

Another thing that people argue is that the Bible says to hate homosexuals because what they are doing is an abomination. I am a Christian and the people who say those things are not representatives of the religion that I practice. The Bible says to live your life as God would and God says to love thy neighbor. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to hate someone. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to ridicule someone. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to bully someone until they decide to commit suicide. People who "choose" to be gay would not commit suicide because of what someone else says about them. They would "choose" to become straight again. However, as being gay is not a choice, they cannot choose to become straight again.

The definition of love is an intense feeling of deep affection.

It does not state that it has to be between a man and a woman.

"Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside."

A friend of mine once said, "Close minded people would be much easier to tolerate if they kept their mouths closed."

The heart wants what it wants.

Love is patient, love is kind.

Be patient. Teach patience.

Be kind. Teach kindness.

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.
