Kill Everyone With Kindness

Where is being mean getting anybody?

Kill Everyone With Kindness

The hit single "Kill 'Em With Kindness" by Selena Gomez that is stating to stop the fighting is something that people often overlook. In today's society, it's easier to not care. It's easier to not fight for what and who you want, and it's easier to treat people like shit. But why?

Why is it so easy to tear people down and point out every single flaw, rather than taking a moment to understand what they are going through and try and help?

Let's say you see someone walking down the street and it is pretty evident that they have scars from cutting on their wrists. Do you walk by and say, "Wow, that girl/guy is so disgusting. Look at what they did to themselves." OR do you say, "Oh my gosh, that girl/guy must be so strong for even getting out of bed this morning and going outside. Good for them!"

I sure hope it's the second one...

How is it okay to live in a world where everything we do is judged? How if you're not a size zero and perfectly fit, then you're considered fat? If you don't get an A in one class, you're stupid? The fact that people believe that because you have a mental illness you're weak and damaged?

THEY ARE ALL WRONG! IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!

All of this needs to stop, people of today's world need to open their eyes. Starting a war isn't going to solve the problem, it's going to kill everyone. So learn to be smarter, learn to care about other people and value life.

Please tell me if you're reading this you get it. This world is harsh and cruel, but it isn't necessarily the planet we live on, it's the people that are on the planet. What is the point of being cruel?

So instead of doing that, be kind. In fact, kill everyone with kindness because then we might finally get the point across that words hurt. The truth is, you will never know someone's back story until you sit down and talk to them. So why don't you try doing that instead of making fun of their torn up clothes, because their family can't afford to buy new ones.

You may think you know them, but you don't know their story. You don't know the obstacles that they've overcome to get to the point where they are at. James 1:12 states, "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."

Can it truly come down to society overcoming adversity and making a change? Will we finally have peace between everybody?

Now that is up to you, each and every one of you. So choose wisely, or this could be the end of the human race.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
