About Me

My photo
Music makes me appreciate life. I cannot imagine a life without rain, smiling, love and friends. Every day is beautiful, no matter what happens. As long as the touch of someone's hand, the sight of a rainbow or the smell of a fresh garden makes you want to dance, you're living. Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today. ~*~

Take a Stand

I visited my friend the other night, and we sat on his front wall having SUCH a Deep Meaningful Conversation about humanity. Yes, he's a guy, he plays videogames, he plays rubgy and cricket, he has a girlfriend, he LOVES eating. But I can talk to him and feel perfectly safe.
I was venting about how upset I was that males cannot control themselves and think it's perfectly alright to go ahead and read FHM and Playboy and watch explicit porn. I was SO MAD that I honestly thought I was going to start crying right there, on his front wall. He moved closer to me and, said quietly, so that the other people running around in the front yard could not hear, 'Yes, I think its awful. But it makes them feel like men. I know lots of people like that. It's very stupid. But it's also because they want to seem cool. I'm not sure why they can't just be themselves and keep it real.'
It was such a gem of wisdom from a great guy friend that I gave him a massive hug, tears forgotten for a while. There are people out there who try their very hardest to be themselves no matter what anybody else says. My friend also said that his stepfather told him when he was little, 'Be the best person you can be.' He said that it really stuck with him and I can see the difference in him compared to the other boys. There are people like my friend with integrity and individuality who are completely cool and can talk honestly with people without the fear on being 'uncool'.
BE YOURSELF AND HAVE INTEGRITY <3
