I have to get better at these themes. I really don't know why, but its hard to keep up with. Ill get better, I promise.
It has been said that there are three personal things that you are never supposed to ask a person about: Age, religion, and political views.
Well, I'm in 11th grade, I'm catholic, and I'm a republican.
Sorry if I offended anyone with that last sentence, I know that people normally aren't that frank in today's society, but the things that I just said define me as an individual and saying them out loud doesn't change who I am to the people around me. Ive always been who I am, and I'm proud that I can state my beliefs. They are personal, its true, but I'm not afraid to talk about them because discussion is what makes the world go around. If ideas continue to be suppressed, soon no one will speak and be afraid of what they are.
These items come with heavy judgement. Every age group, religion, and political party has stereotypes that are carried with them. Stereotypes shouldn't be ignored, but believing in them should not be practiced. Judgement is a natural action, but it doesn't mean that its right.
I'm not asking for everyone to write their beliefs on their foreheads and shout it from the rooftops. If you wish to do that, then go right ahead, Godspeed. I'm simply saying not to be ashamed in what you practice and who you are. Everybody is different, and nobody is considered right or wrong. So respect that in a individual they know what they stand for, and make it comfortable for them to be able to share their ideas if they wish to do so.
Wow, that was heavy. On a lighter note, its fashionably acceptable to wear white again! Hooray! If you're like me, you'll be wearing white on Monday, its been too long...
