Every Life 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.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
