#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!

"Happiness is like a butterfly...."

“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”

- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Wait. That is how some people may interpret this quote. Wait patiently and happiness will come to you.

I believe that what Nathaniel Hawthorne meant was that if we are going to chase happiness to the ends of the earth, we will always be left wanting more, but if we take a moment to appreciate everything that we have, we will see that we already have a wealth of things to be happy about.

What are you happy about today? Perhaps your house is not the perfect house, but it is still a roof over your head. Maybe your job is stressful or boring, but it still provides you with food and money to pay the bills. Perhaps your children don't bring you the paper on a lazy Sunday morning, but they still love you unconditionally.

If you aim for a perfect family that will never argue, never leave a mess, and never nag you, then you risk destroying the imperfect family that you have in the process of reaching for 'perfection'. If you manage to just about pay for that perfect house, you may find yourself struggling to put food on your 'perfect' table.

Look around you and take in what you have.

Remember, this world isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean that we can't be happy. Most people are on a quest to be happy, which is brilliant; but not if we by-pass happiness on the way!
