If there is anything college has taught me, there is one thing that sticks out above the rest and that is this: we all come from different worldviews and backgrounds. Not only that but what we see in front of us is just the smallest bit of a mixture of worldviews. There are other countries out there, a whole world filled with different cultures, values, people, and core beliefs.

Friends, if there is anything that I have learned it is that no one has the same voice. No one has actually walked a day in the shoes of somebody else. No one has lived the same exact life as well, you.

And while that may cause a whole lot of conflict between all of us in this crazy world, there is also something so valuable about it.

Your voice is only YOUR voice. There is nobody else in the world who has it. While this may seem daunting, it is actually so freeing. Your life has been lived the way it has to get you to exactly this very moment, reading this little article.

And for some odd reason, you are where you are, you were born where you were born, and you live the life that you live.

Each day, you converse with so many different people. These people may have a similar worldview to you, or maybe they don't. Whether you are in a culture you have been in forever or are completely submerged into a culture you have never lived in before, you are conversing with other humans (even if this isn't your cup of tea).

Throughout the day, you may be writing, going on social media, heading to the grocery store, talking with people in class or at work, and when you do each of these things, you are likely to come in contact with SO many different people. And odds are you, like me, go through your day sometimes without really thinking about the way you talk or converse with those around you.

However, something I caught onto recently is that your voice is SO unique and YOU can use it for good.

You can choose to walk throughout your day in the mundane. You can choose to just say please and thank you and not really have conversations. Or... You can choose to really get to know someone. You can choose to dive into weird, deep, vulnerable conversations about life and things that really matter.

The point is, you are seriously the only person with your voice. You can use that thing for good. You can choose to spread a little joy on social media rather than hate. You can choose to say kind things, to compliment others, and to use general manners as you go through your day. These are things we don't think about, but WOW how much brighter would the world be if we all just thought about what we said before we said it.

I know I need to work on this, who's with me?
