My Wish To You

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

My Wish To You
Devin Tubbs

My wish is that you never let society break your will. For you are so strong and powerful that it would have to be heavy burdens to bare. The world is not perfect. No person is perfect, not even yourself.

Some people will dislike you for no reason at all, some will dislike you because you won't conform to their idea of how you should act. That's okay.

Some people may be beautiful on the outside. They draw you in with perfected verses on what's right and wrong only to show true selves and when the bully and nasty come out, they won't be so beautiful anymore. Don't fall victim to their unmerciful ways.

He or she will tell you they love you, they may or may not mean it. It could be years, months, weeks, or days but absolutely do not repeat it unless you mean it. If you do, love with every fiber of your heart. It's only natural to have a heartbreak but it is unnatural to lie. Even if it's just to yourself.

Be cautious of your crowd because you are who you keep company.

Stay humble in knowing we were made equally. Not one person is made with out blood and bones. We all bleed the same. Do not think you're ever too good to be someone's friend, or not good enough for that matter.

We all fight our own demons and once you break a porcelain doll, the cracks won't ever go away no matter how strong the glue is. Keep that in mind when venom tries to latch on to the tip of your tongue.

Do not let others define your idea of beauty.

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

Your value is priceless so do not sell yourself short. Keep your morals and standards close to your heart and keep steadfast on your path of your own righteousness.

My wish is that you never let society break you. You're smart, you're courageous, and you belong

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
