Let's Get Back To Love

Society is in need of support.

Let's Get Back To Love
The Indian Express

I'm not here to lecture you on the need for gun control, or to tell you that this country is going to crumble, I'm here to talk to you about the importance of love. These past weeks in the country have been terrifying, to say the least, between all of the terror that's been going on I'm here to say, we need to learn to love again.

These situations put our country in a terrible place, as soon as something happens everyone turns to who to blame instead of how do we help. For instance, after the Orlando shooting people immediately turned to blame Isis and the Muslim community, whereas what we truly should have been more concerned about is supporting the LGBTQ community as well showing support to the whole nation. Terrorism is the act of causing terror to others, usually for a political purpose. So we need to show them that yes this was scary, but we are all here together to support one and other, and therefore you can't tear us down.

Love is the answer to most questions, if we are all there to support one and other instead of pointing our fingers the world would be a better place. Stand by each other and care for each other in this time of need and mourning. We are one nation, that's exactly what the Pledge of Allegiance say, so let's stick together as one, now isn't the time for separation. So, let me say to you; love one and other and carry yourself with care and compassion, because everyone deserves the love of others. There is no room for judgement during this time, there is only time for love and acceptance because we all need to be here to support each other. Whether it be a mass shooting, or natural disaster if people are in need we should be there to support them. So, reach your hand out and help someone in need even if it is as small as just saying a quick prayer or giving blood.

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.
