what it all comes down to

well, i have been thinking a lot today about the changing world we live in.


this post isn't about my stance on the so many controversial things happening, but more about how we are going about it all wrong. you might not live the same lifestyle as me, believe the same things as me, or have the same opinions as me. that is and should be ok!


i have seen lots of hostility on social media. one opinion has to be "right" and if you don't agree, you must be "wrong". we are constantly judging. we are always comparing.


the way i see it though, is that we are lucky to live in a country where we have the freedom to believe what we want, have our own opinions. it's sad to me that we might be afraid to share them because of the terrible things others might say.


i have come up with a simple solution.


all we have to do is love


love before you speak. love before you act. love before you judge.


support those around you. build them up. hand out smiles and compliments (they are free!). you're opinion might be different, but there has to be a way for you to share it without tearing the other person down or not get offended if someone doesn't agree.


we don't know what is happening in another's life, but we do know that life is hard!


so, as we start a new week - make sure that love comes first.
