Love is A Powerful Thing And We Should Be Using It More Often

Show the world and scream it from the mountain tops because love is here.

What is love? Just like that song, we sometimes all wonder what love is. It's this feeling we have but it differs by person and situation. Should we be showing more love? Should we be showing less love? In today's world, do we see love often or do we need more of it? Why do people shy away from love and vow never to let it touch them? Love is love.

There are some people who spend their whole life looking for love and never find it. So is love something that should be sought out for or do we let the universe open our eyes to it. Some may love eating pizza just as much as someone loving their significant other. Some love is love but rather a form of lust. True love can be hard to find and even harder when out looking for it. So what should we do when it comes to love?

Some may say hide it and conceal it because it is too strong for some. Some say to scream it from the mountain tops because love is stronger and can break down any barriers. I say do what you think love is. Show the person you love them in private. Scream "I love you" whenever you get the chance. Love is up to every person and how they want to show it. What we shouldn't do is shame others for loving someone that you might not agree on. Why are we getting in the way of people showing their love to who they want? We are not them, we can not tell them they can not love. We are only in charge of our own life and nobody else's.

People show love in different ways. Sometimes people have been so hurt that love is a sensitive topic and they don't want to be near it. Love has done some amazing things for some people and it has hurt others. We also need to be respectful l of those who have a hard time with love and show them our own other ways to let them know we are there for them.

All the different generations show love differently. There are five different love languages and there are different ways to show love. We should also not judge others on the ways they show love but respect them. No two people are the same, and never will be. So we will need to respect what others might say or do. We are able to show our own love and others the same.

We need to show bigger love in today's world.

Sometimes are so dark and hard but together we can show a light that is filled with love. We need to show others that despite what might be happening and what others might say, there is still love. We can show love. We can be in love. So take your hearts out into the world, show some love, and change the world for the better.

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?

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.
