Love Cannot Be Killed Or Swept Aside

Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love.

Netflix's 'Love'

It stuns me when I log onto any of my social media platforms and see how people view love. Love is both simple and complex. It takes some people many years to understand it's meaning and fully appreciate what it is. I love love! I become jubilant when I see people happily in love. However, when I see things such as "The Homosexual Agenda" and people who are fighting for laws to be created that prohibit homosexual couples from getting married or adopting children, I become infuriated.

Many people argue that if homosexuals have the right to marry, then it will ruin the sanctity of marriage. I'm sorry, but I do not understand your reasoning behind this claim. If homosexual couples gain the right to marriage, then what will happen? It will cause marriage to become less of a thing? It will ruin the meaning of marriage? Divorce ruins the sanctity of marriage, not people who love each other.

The argument for "homosexual couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt children" is that the children will somehow "become" gay. As opposed to popular opinion, being gay is not a choice. Sane people do not "choose" to become ridiculed day to day and they do not "choose" a lifestyle where they would rather die than be who they are. It is not a choice. Also, if the reason why people "become" gay is because they are influenced by their parents, why do millions of heterosexual couples have gay children?

There is no such thing as a "homosexual agenda." There isn't anything that needs to be fought against. The only things that they're fighting for is to have the same human rights that heterosexual people have. If you want to fight for something, fight for the homo sapiens agenda. That's what they are: humans. They're just like you and me.

Another thing that people argue is that the Bible says to hate homosexuals because what they are doing is an abomination. I am a Christian and the people who say those things are not representatives of the religion that I practice. The Bible says to live your life as God would and God says to love thy neighbor. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to hate someone. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to ridicule someone. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to bully someone until they decide to commit suicide. People who "choose" to be gay would not commit suicide because of what someone else says about them. They would "choose" to become straight again. However, as being gay is not a choice, they cannot choose to become straight again.

The definition of love is an intense feeling of deep affection.

It does not state that it has to be between a man and a woman.

"Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside."

A friend of mine once said, "Close minded people would be much easier to tolerate if they kept their mouths closed."

The heart wants what it wants.

Love is patient, love is kind.

Be patient. Teach patience.

Be kind. Teach kindness.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
