Self-Segregation

We constantly separate ourselves

Self-Segregation

Here's what I want to talk about today: self-segregation.


It's a real thing; we're doing it more and more every day. Segregation ended, but it still happens.

We're all human beings but now, no one seems to realize that. We're focused on the color of our skin and the languages we speak that we don't realize that we are all the same.

All these racial issues — The Black Lives Matter movement, immigration — why is there a need for such things? Because honestly there are 7 billion people in the world, and as I've said before we're all different, aren't we?

This world is falling apart because it is filled with so much hatred. It's like we've forgotten how to be civil, how to be kind, not necessarily having to love everyone, but to accept them.

Separating ourselves will destroy us not make us better.

Make an effort to get to know people before you judge them. Learn to love and be better for the sake of us all because. Hatred will be the end of us. Love will create a new beginning.

Open your heart to the changes and all the different cultures and you will be open to a brand-new world.

Separating ourselves will destroy us not make us better.

Kindness, peace, and love — that's all I'm asking.

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.
