The Visionaries of the New Generation
Tumblr

When it comes to visual arts, there is never two of the same kind or similarities; everything and everyone delivers in a gifted way. Our generation of young adults have stepped over everyone and shown them exactly how talented and intellectual we can be despite those who dislike how we operate and act. Today's generation are super bad-asses and we love to start new trends. If you're on social media (specifically Instagram & Tumblr) you'll notice overtime how much we continue to bring to the plate, whether it's through music, art, photography, drawing, or even spoken word and poetry. I'd like to say from my perspective that our generation of young visionaries are a separate community to an extent. Yes, some may be young and still living with their parents, but there's plenty who are on their own. With that being said one place we can all come together and unite is through social media.

For the older generation who was brought up on a specific platform, we are their children, but many think that since we were raised by our parents who were influenced by their parents, we're told specifically how to conduct ourselves in ways to please them. That's one aspect where we come in and change the status of that. Our views may seem crazy and impossible but what if? What if the adults would stop trying to force us to present a certain image of ourselves, especially if the image is something that we don't like or want to portray for others to see. What if ? What if we continue to change the status quo and see overtime how we can act & do, not according to our parents or adult figures, but for ourselves. There are many adults who may insist that it would lead to nothing but destruction & mayhem but there are still many young adults like myself who don't do any literal crazy things but should be able to do what we want to do without any questioning or negative comments. There will be a time where we permanently change the status of how we grow up and make the world actually see what's going on. I'd like to think that we are the ones to successfully do this and dominate the arts culture like no other has. In today's time, we are getting young visionaries (literally some young ones) as young as 14 year old celebrity Rowan Blanchard. The lover of Harry Potter, chocolates, and Beyoncé shows us on her Instagram just how visually inclined she is. Along with Willow Smith and many others, they are the few celebrities within our visionary circle that continue to describe to the world exactly who we are. The only person who knows yourself better than your parents is yourself. If you're a poet, misfit, a dreamer or a schemer, don't change. If you're a rebel, a lover, a doer, or a thinker, don't change. There will come a time that we will not be looked at any longer as crazy or different. Be patient my dreamers, our time is coming.

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.
