Tunnel of Opression

What it is a series of skits. It was dark, deep, serious, heartbreaking, there were endless was to describe. It is meant to bring awareness to the what really happens. Events that take place in the world that hurt so many people. I really loved it because it showed me that people actually care. Even though it was so intense, I felt like I didn't have to feel so alone anymore because there are people who actually believe that this is an issue that needs to be addressed. I loved that it was serious because I've seen so many people turn issues like these into jokes and it's not funny at all.

• The first skit was about domestic violence.It was in a really small area. I felt like I was there and seeing it and a part of it. It was really life-like
• There was one where a girl's roommate's where making fun of her because of her weight. I easily related to that. It was so sad. They were saying things like "I only want to take her because guys will want to dance with me because I look better by comparison" and things like "she looks like a pregnant whale." It was crazy.
• There was an Autistic student being made fun of. It was so sad. In this particular skit, I was right behind him and I wanted to hug him.
  

It was wonderful. eye-opening. It just makes me want to take action. We can't judge people because we don't know what they're going through. Life is hard. We don't need to be hurt by others on top of it all. We NEED to be respectful!

Love is louder. This world is brutal enough as it is. The least we can do is make sure that love is all around and that we respect each other.

you with the pretty face, smile :)

smiling song this week :)

Love is on its way.

I smiled today.

Why must shopping feel so good? I feel better knowing that I'm getting some good deals and everything looks so cute!

There was a special 20% off discount at Old Navy. You had to scream as loud as possible at the register to get your discount. Everything I got was a really decent price so I was excited to get an extra few bucks off.

There are always those few items that make you feel good about shopping. Those things that take away the pain from seeing something that you really want that is unfortunately out of your price range or trying on something that doesn't quite fit the way you would like it to. Today for me, those items were, these cute mary jane slipper/socks, a vintage purse, and my reusable coffee cup from Old Navy.

What also made it so much better was being with my beautiful mommy and my brother and sister. It's nice to be around someone who knows you so well. I think I was really needing that lately. I spent the past two nights in a hotel with her which was the first time I didn't sleep in my dorm room. It was so weird. My poor room and my stuffed animals were all alone for the night but I think that my room will get over it. I'm not so sure about Adam the giraffe and Connie Sparks the zebra. It feels good to feel so at home but it was slightly ruined by homework. Ehhhh....the semester is coming to a close so I'm starting to get really excited.

Lots of reasons to smile today. My heart is happy. Is yours? I sure hope so, Beautiful!

It hurts everyone.

It hurts the little girl that has to sit between her two angry parents on the long ride home.
It hurts the little girl when her dad takes out his anger on her.
It hurts when the parents and make a huge horrible public display of their "anger" in the middle of the gas station while the little girls cry because of how much it hurts.

It hurts everyone. Love is Louder. Hate and anger hurts too much. When the cycle end?

LUFF YEW.

LUVV YUUU

Ask me anything

you're amazing

Happy Monday!

You shouldn't start a day with the feeling that it's going to be a bad day. I usually just assume that Mondays will be horrible and long because I usually have a really busy day.

Today caught me by surprise however. My morning class was canceled because our TA never showed up. We waiting the required 15 minutes and then an extra 2 minutes to give him the benefit of the doubt and then we ran out of there like it was a crime scene. It felt so good not to spend an hour or so discussing chemistry and doing our weekly quiz. I went back to my room and got all comfy before my Chemistry lecture which felt shorter today then it usually does. My Chem professor also decided to play the song Free Fallin' before class began. I delightfully sang along. I then had more time to relax in my room. The dining hall had yummy chicken salad that I love. It tastes so good, makes my day every time. Now I have more time to relax, blog, and get some work done. This is the best Monday I've had in a while.

I will never again underestimate the power of a brand new day. I guess there can always be beauty everywhere you look. Today it was found in the form of relaxing and breathing room throughout the day. WONDERFUL!

inspirational song this week :)

"When the sky is darkest, you can see the stars."

love is louder

End bullying. There is no excuse to hurt people or to push them to the edge of death with endless taunting, jeers, or rude and demeaning remarks. It's not fair. This cycle that is ending countless, precious lives needs to stop! How many tears must flow, lives lost, blood shed, before the world sees that action needs to be taken? How long before society sees that love is louder than hate. Love is louder than pain. There is never an excuse to hurt people. I'll never understand why anyone thinks it's okay It blows my mind when ever I think about it but I know that's there will be a day when this horrible cycle ends and love can be heard through all the confusion and pain. We have to take baby steps but there is no doubt that if we work together and work on the love, we can it "Don't give up on love, just hold on."
