I Believe In A World Where...

I believe in so many things but these are just some of the few.

Feb 20, 2017

I believe in many things. I believe in honesty and forgiveness. I believe in second chances and true love. I believe that music has the power to save someone's life and that books are more than just words; they're a source of hidden adventures. I believe in many things...

I believe in a world of no evil. I believe in a world where children aren't being hurt; not physically, not emotionally, and not sexually. Where the innocence of a child is not robbed at a young age and everyday can be looked at as a gift, not some horrible nightmare.

I believe in a world with the power of love. I believe in equality and that love does win. I believe in the power of loving whom ever it is that you love. I believe in girls who love girls. I believe in boys who love boys. I may be a girl who is interested in boys, but that doesn't mean I can't stand up for the power of love.

I believe in a world where one voice can make a difference but a thousand voices can make a movement. I believe in the power of free speech and being open to different opinions. I believe in expressing your views and sharing your thoughts but always keeping it respectful to those around you.

I believe in a world where the way I dress, the color of my hair, or the tattoos and piercings I hope to one day get don't get judged. I believe in being able to express who you are and express your personality through your clothes and body and that I am judged for who I am, not for how I look.

I believe in a world where the victim is never at fault and victim shaming isn't a thing. I believe that no person asks to be harmed in any way. I believe that the way one acts or dresses does not give an 'invitation' to be taken advantage of. I believe in the word no and that it means no.

I believe in many but these are some of the few. I believe in who I am and in myself. The world we live in is far, and I mean far from perfect. It takes more than one person to make a difference and it takes more than one voice to start a movement. I believe there is still faith in humanity. I believe in hope and I hope you do too.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
