Happy Sounds!

Sometimes you hear a song that just makes your heart happy. The voices are beautiful. The words are perfect and you just can't get enough. Perhaps today you need a song to pick you up or some beautiful voices and soothe you; this is the song for you! Right now it's on my study/paper writing playlist and it really motivates me to relax and focus. You're going to love this song. Just Press Play! :)

Important things

Last week was suicide prevention week and the anniversary of 9/11. Because of these two events, there was a lot of love and emotions being spread. Nobody wants to lose the people they love. It's times like this when I really remember that people everywhere are struggling with things. You truly do not know what people are doing to stay alive. It's times like this when I want to tell people that I'm glad that they are here. If you're reading this, I want to let you know that I'm so happy that you're alive. 

People who were raising awareness of Suicide Prevention Week wrote the word "love" on their arms to show their support. This receives the same criticism each year. Some people think that having the word love on your arm really isn't going to do anything but I beg to differ. When I was walking around campus and I saw other people who had written the word "love" on their arm it reminded me that I wasn't alone. It also helped me meet new people because I definitely wanted to say hello to the people with love on their arms and make sure that they knew that they were awesome. Love works.  Love is louder.

Check out this amazing website if you need a smile or a hug today. It's filled with love. http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/
