happiness_in_a_pill : the dream

So, I signed off opendiary and saw something, "the theme of the week", If you could write an entry the whole world could see, what would you say?

Celebrate love, in every way, shape or form. If you can find love, celebrate it. Don’t ignore it or shame it because it isn’t deemed normal. What is normal anyway, everyone’s perspective of normal is different so, therefore, how can a word exist when it doesn’t have a definition. Gay, Lesbian, Heterosexual. ZWho cares? Love is more important than conforming.

Only conform if you want to. If you are happy to wear what everyone else is, then that’s fine, but if you aren’t, do what makes you happy. Wear out of season clothes, read Shakespeare, wear your clothes more than once even! If you’re a guy who wants to grow his hair long and wear make-up do it! Express yourself, don’t let a company be your voice unless you believe in what they’re saying.

Learn to love one another. Don’t hate a person because of their skin colour,  their locale or any other discriminatory detail. There is a famous saying I regret not knowing either off by heart, or at least knowing the author. They teach us to hate who our parents hate, because of the shape of their eyes, the pigment of their skin OR any other feature. Don’t discriminate, make your own assessment of an idividual person, not a group based on a predisposed answer.

Look after everyone you love. In the world we live in who knows when a certain time we see someone we care for will be our last. Make sure your friends are happy and that your parents feel their love returned from you. They sacrificed 18 years of their lives nurturing you, feeding you, clothing you and giving you love. Your friends; they’re there for you when you’re at your lowest low. They’re the ones who pick up the pieces every single time you broken. Recipricate, always help your friends, always be there for them, always let them know that you care for them.

Have someone to die for. Mean it. I don’t mean ‘dying to meet someone’. Have friends and family that are so important to you that you would sacrifice yourself for them. Self sacrifice is one of the most personal, beautiful things because it shows that you feel so strongly for that person you’d end you life to prolong theirs for a second, a minute, an hour, a day, a year, a lifetime.

Finally, never be too afraid to ask for help. No matter who you are, you can always get help. A friend, a family member, a trusted adult, a teacher, a member of your church or youth/community group. Never be too afraid to ask for help because if you can’t ask for help then you learn what suffering is.
