In A Perfect World...

What would happen if we lived in a perfect world?

In A Perfect World...
Danielle Lynn Hayes

What would the world look like if it was perfect? Would it be beautiful and full of lush forests, blue oceans, and drop dead gorgeous people? Or would it be beautiful as in full of people with beautiful hearts and souls? We currently live in a toxic world full of hatred, abuse, and cruelty. In a perfect world, none of that would exist.

In a perfect world, there would be no racism. Everyone would be treated equally regardless of their skin color, and no one would have to suffer at the hands of hatred simply because of something that they cannot change. We would stand hand in hand, heart to heart, and soul to soul without conflict. There would be no riots in the streets, no crying out in the courtroom, and no unnecessary funerals for lives taken far too soon. In a perfect world, I could love a man whose skin is darker than mine, without consequence. In a perfect would, we would have true equality.

In a perfect world, there would be no child abuse and no neglect. All children would be wanted, cared for, and loved. They would have homes, food, and loving parents who would not think about abusing them for any reason whatsoever. In a perfect world, there would be no reason for abortion. All babies would be born happy and healthy, to mothers that love them, whether they be biological or adoptive. In a perfect world, every child would be safe.

In a perfect world, there would be no bullying. Absolutely no child would have anxiety about going school because they are afraid of being picked on. They would not come home crying, or with bruises. There would be no physical or emotional scars. In a perfect world, the bullies, would not have a need to be cruel. In a perfect world, there would be no depression or suicide. There would be no funeral for a child who took their own life because they were picked on so much. In a perfect world, people would not be so cruel.

If I could make the would perfect, I would change the hearts of millions. I would take away their pain and suffering to make them see the world in a new light. If i could make the world perfect, I would fill it full of beautiful, Godly souls. Only in a perfect world.

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
