Why We Should Spread Love, NOT Hate

Just a friendly reminder.

Why We Should Spread Love, NOT Hate

I don’t know if it’s because I am growing up and experiencing more things or because of all the awful news I have seen lately, (or maybe because vine ended), but I feel like the world is in desperate need of love and peace. I know it sounds really cliché but the more I have lived through life and dealt with more kinds of people, the more I have noticed how awful some people can be and how we really need this reminder. Even just scrolling through my Insta feed or twitter I have noticed how unkind & rude people can be to each other and it really doesn’t make sense to me.

If you are that person who is an asshole for absolutely no reason, please ask yourself: Why? What is the point? I understand you might be going through certain situations or you have something to truly be angry with life about but if that’s you take some time and reflect on it. Being cruel to other people is just going to create more anger and hatred in your heart. It’s so much easier to be nice to someone than to be mean and at the end of the day it will make you feel better too.

Loving others will make you a more positive and happy person. In this world of unfairness and sadness it is easy to dwell on the bad instead of the good. The only way we can make this world a better place is by being kind to one another. Not just around Christmas time – all the time. Just remember that others have it worse than you and maybe you can make someone’s day a little bit better and at the end of the day it will benefit you too. There’s too much hatred out there to not spread positivity.

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.
