All lives do matter.

All Lives Matter

Recently in the news, people have been hearing the expression all lives matter. This applies to everyone weather it be male, female, race and sexual orientation of a person. Everyone's life should always matter because if a person were to say black lives matter it would be implying that only the lives of African Americans matter whereas the lives of no one else matter as much. Even police lives matter. They are people too. They risk their lives to help make our lives and society a more calm and peaceful environment and put away those who cause harm behind bars for many years. The latest incident of having all lives matter is in the Dallas shooting where police officers were killed. No matter what the situation is everyone's life should be mattered and should never be discriminated against. By showing that all lives matter this shows that people are accepting to everyone and not just ti one race of people or to one specific religion or to one group of people based on sexual orientation. In my opinion everyone's lives should always matter and everyone should be treated equally and not be treated with prejudice or hatred. If all lives mattered the amount of violence and hatred in the world would not exist as much however there would be some but not as much thus the world would be much safer to travel without living in that constant fear or saying what if. A lot of the reasons why people don't follow the all lives matter movement is because others feel like just black lives matter but that's not true. Everyone matters and everyone's life matters. If this happened then racism and violence in the country and across the world would cease to exist as well as the end of terrorist groups like ISIS from carrying out future attacks. Together everyone can help make the phrase all lives matter trend across social media and worldwide.

African Americans lives do matter too, I'm not saying they should be ignored I'm saying we need to band together to make people get the message that everyone's life is important in every state, every country, and in every city worldwide. Once everyone understands this message then the world can be back to its peaceful old self and there wouldn't be this constant fear of looking out for your safety. One day the movement will pick up steam and then everyone will want to make your opinion matter. Make your voices heard today join the all lives matter campaign. By joining you show support of everyone no matter how different they are from you. Come and show your support today for everyone.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
