Dear Hate,

This is an open letter to hate

Dear Hate,
Man vs Debt

Dear Hate,

In time of madness, you sure do know how to make an apprentice. You're neither good or bad, but you are selfish. You're an emotion, but sometimes you can get out of hand. You can cause riots and pain. People suffer because of you and it's not that you're a bad guy, its because people don't know how to express you. Especially now, with everything going on you are on everybody's mind. People are using you the wrong way. Since people don't know how to deal with you in a respectful way, they are burning symbolic pride and splitting worlds apart. Also, in other circumstances, you can cause sadness. You can hate other people and what they are doing, but do you stop and think about what you're doing to them? Is it really any concern to you on how they live their life? With that type of attitude, you can drive humans to self-hate and self-consciousness. That doesn't matter to you, does it? Sometimes if it goes full circle the reason why people hate is because someone hated them first.

Like I said you're just an emotion. I believe you could be used for good. You could fuel compassion in a way that changes the world. For example, I hate seeing kids on the street without any food or place to act like a child. One day I hope that more people open their homes up to children like that. I feel like people hate for the wrong reason. Hate because you what to express yourself and get out anger, not to tear someone down. Everyone gets mad, but that's not a reason to have a tantrum and ridicule people all over social media. Time for you to grow and express your hate and then turn that hate into love. Show people that you can change and act like an adult and not act like a spoiled millennial. Step out of that selfish shell and put your words into action and chose to be love instead of hate. I believe and pray that people would hate the world enough to make a change to better the lives of others. I pray that you turn the hate you have for the world in to love.

Sincerely,

Love

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
