Unknown
A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

HumanKind - Be Both
I am a Jew.
Hath not a Jew eyes?
Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
Fed with the same food,
Hurt with the same weapons,
Subject to the same diseases,
Healed by the same means,
Warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer,
As a Christian is?
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you poison us, do we not die?
The Merchant of Venice
Such strong words. I love to read them, because like the Jews were hated for being who they are. People today are too. They may not be hated so much like the Jews were, but people still are.
Being hated for who you are is the worst feeling in the world, because there is nothing else that you can be. You are you, there really isn't anything you can really do about it.
We are humans.
Humankind is suffering greatly from the hate in the world. Maybe because Humankind has the word 'Kind' and when there is so much hatred surrounding us. It is difficult to be kind to one another.
Why can't we be human and kind at the same time? We are of the HumanKind aren't we?
Just like the Jews were and are human still to this very day.

The people we dislike or even hate, are human too.
Do something different and be kind.
Cuz sometimes the best punishment to someone that has done you wrong...
Is by being kind.
Think for a second...
What would you do if someone gave you a gift after you did them wrong?
How would you feel?

Thanksgiving
In the spirit of Thanksgiving I just want to say thank you to everyone that has helped me through my life.
Thank you for showing your love and care for me and Thank you most of believing in me and my dreams.
I love you guys and I know that it's not much, but my Thank you to you means a lot to me.
I hope that I will be able to touch lives like you have touched mine.
You are absolutely amazing and I wouldn't be where I am without you.
I wouldn't be as strong as I am today with your helping and loving hands.
Thank you so much!

“If each man or woman could understand that every other human life is as full of sorrows, or joys, or base temptations, of heartaches and of remorse as his own . . . how much kinder, how much gentler he would be.”

My Opinion
Now I'm not saying that I'm perfect about everything I post. I'm just saying that people should take effort to make a difference in this world. Take some time to realize the effect you have on your everyday life and what you can do to others.
I'm sick of the Hate of the world, it is running the world. High school is what holds most of it, the judging and disliking because someone is different. It's difficult and not everyone is perfect, looks the same, acts the same, or dresses the same. But I still don't understand how one person is better than another.
Okay one may on the basketball team, but how is any different from someone that is on the chess team. One is active physically while the other is active mentally. Who cares?!? I don't
People think I'm crazy for doing everything that I do. Dance, guitar, piano, draw, sing, photography, blog, basketball, volleyball, soccer, dodge-ball, and if I could football. I have scattered myself through everything that I can. Now I'm not on teams or clubs for everyone of them, but I do love doing them.
I play volleyball and basketball, but I'm not on a team. Does that mean that you are better than me as a person?
I sing, in the shower, in my car, and in my room, but I'm scared to sing in front of people. Does that mean that you are better than me as a person?
I love to dance and I put my whole life into it. I'm not on a team anymore, in Dance III now, but not a team. Does that mean you are better than me as a person?
That's just a little bit of what I do and I know I'm not perfect in every one of them. But I know I'm not the worst. I'm going around flaunting about how I am better at something than someone else. Because I don't know how long they have done that activity. I do what I do, because I love it. And I'm pretty sure that is why you do it to. Am I wrong?
So how is it so different when you are better than someone? How is it that you are somehow better than them in every way possible?
I'm sure that you may beat them at what your passionate about, but I am also sure that they will beat you at what they are passionate about.
We do what we do because we love it!
If we were the exact same in everything, that would be boring.
I am proud of who I am and what I do, but I'm not going to put someone down because of it.
I am proud to say that I Have A Heart and I'm trying to Stop The Hate

A Simple Thank You
A simple Thank you, is two easy words to say. When someone gives you something, holds the door open, helps you, or does anything nice for you. It is polite to say thank you to that person. It will only take two seconds, "Thank You". Is it really that hard to say?
I hold the door open for everyone that I can when I am not in a rush to get somewhere. I like to hold the door, I don't know why. But every time I do so, I only get about two thank yous. That doesn't stop me from holding the door for them, but it shows me how much you appreciate me being there. I bet it would change your day if I wasn't there to hold the door for you everyday.
Everyday at my dance class I hold the door to get into the locker room, everyday! I get about five thank yous, depends on the day and if someone new decides to say thank you. But I only have two people that say thank you, every single time. It is nice to hear those two words. It makes me smile when they come through the door, and makes me want to hold the door for them even more.
A simple thank you, can change a person's attitude at that time.
In the lunch lines, I say thank you every time, but I rarely hear anyone else say it. Once I said it to one of the lunch ladies and she was so excited. She would surprised that I said thank you, she had never has someone tell her thank you. All of the days she worked and not one thank you. That has got to be hard, especially with how many people she helps just in one day.
A simple thank you
Two words
Two seconds
How hard can it be?

High School
Obviously there is going to drama in high school, but that doesn't mean we have to become subjects of the hate. We can rise above the struggles (I know that's hard sometimes) and put our best feet forward and move on with our lives.
I was watching people today, as I sat alone at lunch for a little while. Watching expressions, listening to words said, and everything like that. I got so many dirty looks for sitting by myself. Which I don't understand, I mean is it a crime to sit by myself and be okay with it? There were a couple of words said, (remember I'm in Lehi) that stood out to me. A girl walked past with a boy and three girls followed behind moments later. The middle girl of the three started to yell at the two in front of them. About being a slut, prostitute, and others like that. Thinking about that, I was wondering how it hurt the others along with hurting herself. She would now be remembered in a lot of people's mind as the girl that calls others slut, prostitutes, whores, and everything else you can think of in that category.
Stop the Hate....
Stop the Hateful words and phrases.
There was another instance. A girl called her friend a 'faggot'. Yeah, he didn't care. But the people around could be offended by that word. I kindly asked her not to use that word and it hasn't happened since. Amazed myself with my action and I'm hoping she won't use that word again.
Words I try not to use right now:
Faggot
Gay
Retard
Others will definitely be added later on.

Celebrity Hate
Have you ever noticed how much crap the celebrities receive? Have you ever thought about how they feel when they read the hate comments? Have you ever wondered how it would feel like to be in their shoes?
Yes it seems like they have the easy life, they have everything that they need and nothing could go wrong. But in all honesty, they are people just like you and me. The only thing that is different, is they followed their dream and because well-known in the world today. They were able to push past all the odds and trails in the world to get out on top and do what they want to do. They are nothing more or less than us. So why does the world think that we can hate on them.
Selena Gomez: After she had gotten together with Justin Bieber she has had death threats, hate messages, and nasty things said about her. Just because you got together with a boy. It is so easy to say something over the internet, because no one will ever know it was you and you don't have to see the pain that you have caused the person. There is so much more you can do online than in person, people are more courageous online, but honestly. That only makes them a coward. They use the internet to bash on people. People they don't even know.
Justin Bieber: A cute teenage boy following his dream of being a singing. He is good at singing and knows who he is. And yet we bash on him for expressing who he is. We aren't letting them have a chance to show who they really are, because the world is too closed minded to let people in. Especially the celebrities, if they sing a certain genre or you don't like the song, then the world automatically puts them, as a person, as something they don't like. It's a song! It's not who the person really it. It might be what they are feeling, but really? That's only two to three short minutes.
Rebecca Black: Famous for the song "Friday" and now that's the only song that the world will let her be known by. Her two newer songs, My Moment and Person of Interest, are pretty good songs. I like them personally, but the world sees her as "The Friday Song". Yes, it's not that good of a song in most people's opinion, but she is doing what she wants to do. She is shooting for her dreams, and obviously she isn't going to let anyone stand in her way. I give this girl props, she has dealt with death threats and everything, been bullied and anything else you can think of that is trying to bring her down.
Rebecca is a strong girl and I support her.
All three of these people are just like you and me, teenagers chasing dreams. So why are we so rude and nasty to them? They have hearts like you and me. Eyes, mouths, noses, dreams, feelings, bodies, hair, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, pain, love, and everything else in this crazy world.

People they don't even know.
Yes, we all fall in love, so why can't celebrities?
