Be a Team Player

I added a special poem for my poetry fans at the end. Enjoy! ;)

It is becoming more evident that our community is growing quite the rift within itself. I have been a youth advocate for the better half of a decade now, and have now been asked to become a community advocate.

What does this entail?
First of all, the goal is to empower those sleeping voices to wake up, and make a difference. In a world where many of us are losing our place, footing, and way it is important to show people, that if we do not have a community, we do not have anything. Every community should stand together rather than grow apart.

Here’s why:

When I look at people, I do not see a race, color, imperfection, or animosity. I truly do not care about what you look like, or where you come from.

Why? Because different is one great, and beautiful thing. This diversity is undeniably perfect in its own way. I see people for who they are, and not what they are. It does pain me to see that there are some that still live with those old ways. However, that is not the only rift I see nowadays.

Communities are fighting amongst each other more and more.  I suppose this breaks my heart, because many leaders are allowing this to happen.

Why?

Leadership isn't being taken for what it really is.

I was asked to become a community advocate, this means my voice will be making an appearance on the radio Monday. I will mention a new community advocates committee.  This committee will involve bringing people together, and not only listening to their voices, but supporting their voices, and empowering their voices. Why is this important to me?
When I was a little girl, my parents would stop at nothing to remind me how proud they were that I would stand up for anything I believed in. I also heard some other comments such as;

“Your wit is impeccable.” Mom would say.

“I like you’re thinking.” Dad would say.

“If anyone’s gonna do it, it’s gonna be you.” Mom would say.

This is why.

I have a voice. Just like anyone out there, it deserves to be heard. I know I have been bringing more light to this series of leadership, empowerment, bullying, strife, community issues, and concerns of society, but I do truly feel like these are meaningful issues. Issues that I believe should no longer be neglected.

Today, I am opening the floor to all of my readers. I want to hear your thoughts, concerns and empowering comments because you too matter to me too.

I know that for years, many of us have sat back doing nothing while the world continues to crumble, that ends today.

Perfect example: The high school had a lock-down this morning because three kids showed up with a gun. Is this really what we want to see in our future?

Everywhere we look we see.

A world crumbling.

At our feet.

Schools are becoming.

The most dangerous to be

So what do we have left?

Other than animosity.

A World of Change

"Its not about the outcome, its about enjoying the journey along the way"

Life is quite the funny experience. We live, we endure, we experience, we fall, we succeed, we fall apart, we cry, we smile, we hurt, we get broken. Its a giant series of emotions. I suppose what makes us unique is how we see others. Within our eyes, and within our mind. Many people take one look at another person and immediately think they know all there is to know about that person. Is this Vain? People seem to hold onto ideals of others based on how they were when they were little, Is this outrageous?

Today, in the modern days, we live in a instant gratification world. life, interactions, love, friendship's, relationships, and families have changed. People seem to think a simple message through social media will suffice. Call me crazy but I still believe in calling someone if you really want to speak with them. I wholeheartedly believe that if someone truly want you in their life, they'll make you part of their life, not their social feeds.

Friendships eventually fall apart, it is only those true and true that will stick with you for the long haul. love these days, do most people even know what it is? I miss the days when raw hard, love, passion, intimacy, and connection were a reality. Nowadays people just want to blink and be in the sack.

I have these writing groups I go to where we do prompts I wrote a prompt titled "The Downfall of Love"

I'll post that soon however this is my first blog post, and I was quite eager to check it out.

Today, my head is filled with all sorts of emotions, people don't seem to realize how being vain, vague, and down right selfish can cause harm to others. I suppose a true mark of maturity, is when others can look at people through the eyes of wise, and humble enlightenment.

I received a phone call about two weeks ago from an uncle once removed of some sort. He kept pushing this personality on me as if he wanted me to revert to my four year old self again and perform for him. It was down right shameful. I saw the true colors of an adult many years older then I.  Heart-wrenching.

I believe only those who have experienced and have an undeniably need for knowledge are those who mature farther Beyond the realm of the surface. The underlying meaning is always deeper. more cultured to be exact. I'd like to hope that someday all of those thirty something's walking the earth today, will stand up and make change. Positive change. The kind of change that will make the world a remarkable place. I live in a community where change is unaccepted. People are so caught up in their own ways, that they leave no room for new ideas. different causes fear in the eyes of many. That is unfortunate because different is beautiful.

I'd like to conclude this entry by saying The world is a beautiful place, why not live within a beautiful social atmosphere as well?
