The Struggling Power Of Protest

It's time we chain ignorance behind bars!

The Struggling Power Of Protest
wikipedia

It begins with the initiation of conversation. The power of conversation is undermined so often and yet it defies the phrase, "the sky is the limit". It's power binds all races, genders, faiths into one family consisted of simple humans fighting like superheros through nonviolent resistance. Through such movements, individual minds grasp the world's internal battles through the roaring, the shouting, the clamoring.

Taking initiative for justice is many times stronger than the denial of reality in which we imprison ourselves to silent thoughts and chain our conscience to the steel bars inside the mind. What will it take to abandon ignorance and be more aware and knowledgeable of our nation?

As kids, we educate ourselves to be knowledgeable of our democracy's function in our lives, and with that we're aware of the people's amendments. Even then, we fail to muster our freedom of speech to voice our suffering in the many moments our nation is drowning.

Did you forget that we are our own military?

I don't recall an instance where sympathy booked the next plane to shower it's light among the struggling. I hope, instead of sympathy, you increase your loyalty, your sensibility, your energy. I challenge you to walk a mile in the shoes of an activist and use the forces of rebellions to take the opportunity for action.

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.
