Love trumps hate.

I have this feeling in my heart right now and I don’t really know how to express it but if you care to stick around while I attempt to translate this emotion into words then I’d just like to say I appreciate it and I hope you enjoy and if you don’t then I’m sorry I wasted your time but it was your decision…

I guess the best way for me to describe how I feel is overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by life and it’s beauty and the good that still exists within humans… I came across Shia Labeouf’s current project which I highly recommend you check out; http://hewillnotdivide.us/ (I apologise for not being fancy enough to hyperlink but it’s 2am and oh who am I kidding even if it was 2pm the fact remains that I’m lazy) and for some reason just seeing these people, despite everything that has flooded the worldwide media and news today surrounding Trump beginning his presidency, going against the grain and telling everyone that they will not allow one individual to change them and their beliefs and what they believe is right just really hit me. I’ve always had faith in humanity but shit man, right now I feel like the happiness in my heart will cause me to burst!!

A light always shines brighter in a room filled with darkness, but if you choose to pay attention to the dark you’ll allow yourself to become blind to the light.

The world can be either dark or light depending on how you look at it because there’s good and bad everywhere, that’s just the nature of life. Yin and yang. Kenan and Kel. Balance. However, it’s up to you which you decide to focus on. There are terrible things happening all over the world and I never want to deny that or come off as though I’m saying that one should remain positive in those situations because I’m not. Well actually I guess I kinda am but I’m not claiming it’s easy to do so, I’m just trying to remind you (and myself) that there are also amazing things happening around the world by incredible people and as much as we like to acknowledge and discuss the bad and the evil, we have to credit and encourage the good because in a world that’s continuously teaching you that love isn’t beneficial, it’s difficult to give it. As cliché as it may sound, positivity breeds positivity and love is the most powerful energy of them all. I mean let’s face it, no sadness or anger has ever led me to feel how amazing I feel right now! And I also feel like it’s time for us as a people to make a choice.

I refuse to allow the world to harden me or to become blind to the good that still exists. I will pay attention, I will praise, I will support and I will choose love every single time.
