#ProudToLove





“Gay Rights are Human Rights”
      - Hillary Clinton



Shouldn't we all be proud of the people we love, and proud to share that love with the world! Some people feel unable to share their love, either because they feel ashamed or people feel ashamed of them. There shouldn't be different rules for different people, everyone should have the same opportunities to love who they want. 


Be proud of who you love, and be proud of your friends for who they love, because don't you want them to be happy?

#ProudToLove




Be the best version of yourself that you can be, and help others to do the same!

Amazing People!

I am absolutely in awe of these people and these images! It is just such a wonderful thing to see, and I hope that it happens a lot more than people realise. However, perhaps it doesn't happen that often. In which case, we need to help the world around us! 

21 Pictures that will restore your faith in humanity


Have you ever walked past a homeless person and thought; 'I'm not going to give them money, they will just spend it on drugs or alcohol!'? That is true, they might spend it on drugs or beer... so why not buy them some hot food, or give them some clothes that you don't wear anymore?


Have you ever seen children or adults in deprived countries walking around with no shoes when the ground is boiling hot or covered in broken glass and cigarette butts? Did you think to yourself; 'They are used to it, it's fine' just to comfort yourself? They might be used to walking around with no shoes, but it doesn't mean they should have to! If you are going travelling, towards the end of your holiday, give away some of the things that you won't wear back home, like sandals, hats, or water purifiers; they can change someones life. 

One of the easiest, but most over looked thing of all is; Saying Sorry! This is one of the easiest, and often most sought after acts. Saying sorry for something that you have done, meant to do but didn't, or something that an organisation has done can mean the world to someone. All you have to do to see this is look at the first picture in that list. 

Make someone's day today. It will make your day to see them smile!

Do more of what makes you happy



“Do more of what makes you happy”
-Unknown
Simple. Right? I have this quote as my desktop background, and it makes it really hard to sit down and study. However, I think that it can be quite motivational as I now that once I finish my course, I will be better equipped to do what I enjoy, which is to help other people. Not to mention, I will have more free time and better job prospects. Sometimes, doing what makes you happy can mean looking to the future and ensuring future happiness. I mean, how unhappy would I be if I failed this last part of the course, and the whole year of hard work was for nothing? I would not be happy at all. So, studying and doing the hard work right know, will make me happier in the near future than if I ignored my coursework and failed my course!

However, do not always put of your happiness for a rainy day. Do small things each day to make you happy, even if they are very silly. Try at least one of these today;

  1. Spin in a full circle on your desk chair at work. 
  2. Unsubscribe from that annoying email that fills your inbox (not one that is necessary for work though!)
  3. Jump on your sofa when you get home.
  4. Have your dessert first. 
  5. Do a cartwheel in the garden/park. 
  6. Give a friend a hug. 
  7. Watch a funny youtube video (don't get sucked into the crazy youtube world of funny cats; you will never get out!)
  8. Put on that slightly brighter eyeshadow/lipstick.
  9. Look around you when you commute to work or school; were those flowers always there? isn't that doggie so cute? aww look at that baby! Trust me, it will brighten your day. 
  10. Plan a cheap day out; a picnic or a hike with friends. 
  11. Be a tourist in your own town; find out things that you never knew (you will seem super smart next time a relative or friend comes to stay!)
  12. Buy some bubbles and blow them out of your window!
  13. Slide across the floor in your socks!
What are the little things that make you smile? Things that you don't have to do, they just happen. Like a movie with a great soundtrack, when the train doors stop right in front of you, or watching a child figure something out. Let us know in the comments!
