Our World Is...

How I view the place we inhabit.

Our World Is...
Science All

When I open my eyes I see the world as a plain grass field full of possibilities extending to the horizons. A place where structures and opportunities can be built to enhance life for those who will live there. I see the world as a grass field in which a school can be built so that the opportunity comes to educate children. As a new school in an empty field, I see a school with the potential to educate children regardless of background, skin color, gender or religion and without any biases. Every child has the potential to learn, but in our world we wrongly limit some. The grass field will forever grow and change because nothing is ever constant, which is why we have businesses and houses. But everything becomes monetarily driven and soon we have big corporations and men and women who want power, and who begin to have more influence in the land. And soon grass field has become a place of conquest and bloodshed. Where lives have been taken to rule the land and where everything good in the field is threatened.

I see the world as an open field because in an open field anything can be built and provide opportunities. However, I see a world in which these opportunities such as education, the right to marry, vote, or to be free have been limited to certain people and in certain countries, when they should be open to everyone. I see a world that is crumbling because of lack of compassion. But I believe an open field is like an open mind where anything is possible and our world is an open field where anything is possible if we make it the best world we can imagine.

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.
