It's Time For An Apology

Everyone needs this to grow together.

The biggest mistake and problem that has and continues to be made, is that this country has never admitted it's wrong doings to the Natives, African Americans, the Japanese, the Chinese, or the Irish and let's not forget the indentured servants of this country.

After admitting the wrong doings then there should be an apology, then the healing process can begin and possibly lead to forgiveness.

There can never be any true peace if those four things never happen. Think about it like a terrible relationship, where neither person gets closure but still has to deal with one another on a daily basis.

The one that did the other one wrong goes on with life like nothing ever happened all the while knowing deep in their heart that their partner that they did wrong built and maintains the house that you both still share.

while the one that was done wrong constantly hears that you have to get over it and move on while they still hold the hurt and pain in their hearts, just wanting and hoping the other person to admit to everything so they can begin their healing process.

Just think that this toxic relationship has been passed down through the generations inherited by the ones that had no part in it but has been taught to keep it going.

I have these two questions to ask; Will this be the generation that finally fixes this and put an end to all the hurt division and pain? or Will we continue to carry the torch of hate and everything that makes this country ugly?

The choice is ours but the ball is in the court of the ones who inherited their ancestors' wrongdoings to acknowledge what their ancestors did and apologize.

I know some may say that, that was my ancestors and not us, that may be true but you still enjoy this unbalanced system that they have created for you while the rest of us feel the pain and wrath of that same system that they created to fight against us, Then and only then can we put the ugly past behind us and grow together as bredren and sistren.

I can vision how beautiful this place can be if all of this were to take place, I catch a glimpse of that place every time I see a diverse group of youths walking and talking together.It makes me think that we are so close but yet so far away, we are the ones that can save the human race but we can only do so as ONE.

I love you all!! Peace!!

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.
