Time To Quit The Hatred

When is the right time to make a change?

Time To Quit The Hatred
change

Why is it hard to be a half-decent human nowadays? Morals and values were once a base of humanity, but it seems it's only half-ass sense of morals with a touch of values. Simple as being nice, kind and loving toward everyone.

Bringing people up isn't an act anymore ("up" meaning their spirits or self-confidence). When did complimenting someone become so hard? A simple, "you look great today," or a simple, "hi." That is like pulling teeth out. Painful — why? Jealousy and envy.

Bringing people down is much easier. No need to say a compliment to only leave a hateful comment on social media or a glare that would make the devil twitch. Why? Jealousy and envy. We want what others have and we're too lazy to actually try to get what we want so we instead look down on others simply because we do not have whatever they have.

Smiling and making eye contact with people is a rare occurrence. Being nice is rare setting to see. This world is full of people that can change everything if we actually try.

We can bring a sense of positivity and morals to the surface again. We can bring people up more than drag them through the dirt. Especially on social media and as quoted by Jaclyn Hill, "People forget that I have blood in my veins. I cry when I'm sad and I bleed when I get cut. I'm a real person".

We need happiness in all aspects of life and in ourselves. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will change-- but we have to start somewhere. This day and age with all these changes happening around us — this is the time to empower others.

Below is a video by Jaclyn Hill, makeup artist and beauty YouTuber, addressing the negativity on social media and more. It's impacted many and this heart quenching video went viral affecting many. It's pure truth and it's spoken by someone with a beautiful soul.


Let's stand against hatred, bullying and being the worst kind of human to others.

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.
