To Believe In Peace

All she yearned for was peace and comfort.

To Believe In Peace
Jasmine M. Marple

As the time drew near

She feared of what was to come

Her heart was in despair for her country

All she yearned for was peace.

She knew neither candidates were suitable for The People, her people

She feared turmoil, disaster, and an undivided nation.

As the polls reached their end

A feeling of dismay overwhelmed her.

She focused her thoughts on what good was to come from the final results.

Good thoughts.

Positive energies.

...

Suddenly, her world turned dark

She saw the fear and commotion

Her heart hurt for the weak

Some of her closest friends were distraught

They feared for their future

And well-being.

She was saddened by the words of others,

Such demeaning words, ruthless actions, hatred everywhere.

Society is not safe.

She yearned for a safe haven

One of positive energies,

a place to be free.

She made a safe haven, full of peace and love

She welcomed all to come.

Show the world love, despite what is going on around you, we need each other, now more than ever. We have to be each others support group. Bring peace, love, and positive thoughts to the ones around you. Be a safe haven, be comforting, and most of all, kind.

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

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.
