We Are The Haters

Haters don't have to hate.

The only way to stop the haters is to calm the hatred tornado that swirls around inside each one of us every single day. We all must tame the beast within, if we ever hope to conquer hatred overall.

We all have to stop judging others based on small snapshots of their identity. We have to stop feeding off each other's negative critiques.

Everyone's existence is valid and hating on any form of existence is ridiculous, especially since we are all still figuring out how to be human anyway.

Making snap judgments is the root of the hate our generation likes to throw around. People judge others without taking the time to appreciate the perspective of others. If everyone could accept the fact that every point of view is valid, then hate would not exist. We disapprove of the ways people act because we don't realize that everyone has the right to exist in whatever way they please. Everyone's lifestyle is different and everyone has the right to live differently. Everyone's goal in life should be to live uniquely. Be as different as possible. Be yourself.

Judgment does create most of the hatred that's running rampant in today's world. Another way that hatred is spread is through people whom we admire. Hate is contagious. When someone dislikes something, people tend to follow that trend. Basically, hate is trendy. The problem is, people tend to agree with those who we admire, and people we admire tend to hate on certain ways of living. We need to be more individualistic and focus on thinking for ourselves rather than adopting other people's judgments. Validating each other's opinions is very important in order to end this flurry of hatred that seems to be taking this generation by storm.

We all hate, but we can learn to channel that hatred and judgment into productive outlets that breed appreciation for perspectives and different ways of thinking.

We cannot stop the haters until we stop the hater within ourselves.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
