A World

Imagine we lived in a world

where we were blind to color

color of skin, color of life, color of love

Our eyes and minds were blind to bias

and our hearts were free to explore.


Imagine we lived in a world

where children weren't hungry

mothers weren't restless

and fathers stayed.


Imagine we lived in a world

where worth wasn't based upon

the amount likes, retweets,

or copy & pastes

we received in order to

feel relevant in this race

Imagine we lived in a world

where politics wasn't a game

but a movement used

to make a change

that bettered society

instead of perpetuating misogyny.


Imagine we lived in a world

where nuclear warfare

wasn't a reality

but humility and kindness

was the basis for morality

Imagine we lived in a world

where faith wasn't questioned

but used to heal the bruise

of wounded soldiers and the

abused.


Imagine we lived in a world

where women's bodies were a temple

and not a temptation

to degrade, demoralize, and objectify

because well "I'm a guy"

and its "aight".

Imagine we lived in a world

where disability wasn't

a reason for humility

but celebrated for

its unique ability

to brighten a room

instead of focus on gloom

because a grateful heart

is better than hateful art.


Imagine a world where

cities upon cities

weren't stricken with poverty

and people didn't rely on armed robbery

to provide for their starving

families who lived

out of Camrys

but the wealthy

could walk out of their

Bentleys and learn to serve

like our God, Jesus

instructed us to in His Word.


Imagine this world and create it.

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?

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?

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.
