Every Life Matters

Equality Matters

What does equality mean to you? There are so many television shows, news broadcasts, and social media information about black lives matter! The fact is every life matters. If you are African American you matter! Caucasian, native Americans, Chinese, all lives matter! I am a Caucasian female that works in retail. Let me tell you one thing, men do not want a female to be a sales person. If a male walks in and stands by us the customer automatically starts asking him questions, which he has no idea what they are, because he doesn't even work there.

Everyone has something to say about racism, sexism, exc. The problem is when we obsess over things like that we don't see the beauty in our own lives. Each life matters. Every single one of them. If we stop thinking about our backgrounds then we can make our lives what we want them to be.

There are a lot of people that want to commit suicide because of how hard there lives are. Most of the time based on race. I am 19 years old and I know what it feels like to feel miserable. I know what it feels like to just want to curl up, cry, and just lay there and feel the pain deepen and worsen as the day grows into night. We should never even think about suicide. It will just make everything worse. You won't have a chance to know God. If you don't believe in God, think about the people that care about you! It would hurt them like crazy! Even if it doesn't feel like it now somewhere out there someone loves you!

Every single life matters! Let's all try to help those in need! I will always help someone that needs it! That is who I am.

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

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.
