The world needs more kindness in it. In a time and place where violence and hate are so prominent, be the kindness you want to see. Help those in need. Smile at the strangers you walk by. Hold the door open, even if they're at the awkward distance where they have to jog to catch up. Buy someone a gift. Buy a stranger some coffee. Do something good. Do something kind.

The world needs more understanding in it. Times are changing. Things are becoming more diverse and different than ever, and it's a beautiful thing. But people hate what they can't understand. Do your best to educate yourself before making an opinion. Don't hate on others for their opinions, educate them instead. Always strive to be a smarter, better person.

The world needs more knowledge in it. Educate those around you. It can't hurt anyone. Learn in order to make good opinions. Learn in order to understand those around you. Learn in order to grow as a person. Learn in order to make the world a better place. It's the least you can do.

The world needs more love in it. Love comes in many shapes and forms. Every single kind of love is beautiful. Platonic or romantic, familial or friend, love is love is love. Why do people try so hard to take love away from people? Fight back. Love yourself, and love others the way that you would want to be loved.

The world needs more diversity in it. But you can't have diversity without inclusivity. Yes, surrounding yourself with people of different backgrounds, cultures, ideas, stories, and personalities are awesome. But what does it matter if you don't include them? Variety with inclusivity is diversity. Variety without inclusivity is just a show.

You can be what the world needs. Be kind. Be understanding. Be knowledgeable. Be loving. Be diverse. Be the change you want to see in the world.

To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before...

One of the things that I love most is space. I am a HUGE space nerd. Literally ask any of my friends. I was first introduced to space when my dad dragged me to see Star Trek. Since walking out of that movie theater in 6th grade, becoming an astronaut hasn't been just some wild dream that could come true.
