A Letter To Disney About Their New Tattoo Policy

Disney has recently banned visible tattoos on park grounds, so here's what I think about that.

A Letter To Disney About Their New Tattoo Policy

Ah yes, Disneyland and Disneyworld, the "Happiest Place(s) on Earth."

Well, you guys messed up big and made a lot of people pretty unhappy.

As many of you may or may not know, Disney Parks has recently issued a ban on all visible tattoos on any park property. You see, this is completely legal, as stupid as it may be. The Disney parks in California and Florida are both privately owned by the Disney corporation, so they can essentially do or say whatever they want to guests as long as they don't violate their rights as a human being.

Granted they did not violate the rights of any human being by saying that the tattoos can no longer be seen on or around Disney property, but that doesn't make this call any better. Disney is being what we call, and I mean this politely, a big corporation still run by old-fashioned-absolute morons.

In today's society, tattoos are very much more so publicly accepted. There are fathers and mothers who love their kids and will do anything to make them happy and comfortable. Disney needs to wake up and realize this. In fact, the CEO of the company has come out and blatantly stated that he doesn't like tattoos, which is totally OK. However, going as far as to ban those families and loving parents from the parks that their kids enjoy so much? That is just cruel.

Yes, I have tattoos. Yes, I very much enjoy the Disney parks, as I have went a few times with my family, and I am eagerly anticipating the new "Star Wars"-themed park. No, Disney will not receive mine or any other tattooed individual's support as long as this rule stands.

Wake up, Disney. It's 2016, we have tattoos, we are paying customers, and we are people too.

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.

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.
