I Believe In A World Where...

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

I Believe In A World Where...

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.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
