I was sick of looking at that other journal on my homepage.

That is all.

"Imperfect as my love does go,
This human heart is all I know."

So i'm feeling like this is my life lately. It seems like the world is slowly crumbling around us, and yet we keep soldiering on, turning a blind eye. So let me just get this out there. PAY ATTENTION. Things are starting to get out of hand, with everything. We're still fighting a useless war, our economy is in the tank, theres a flu thats killing children, and discrminiation is being put into the constitution by a majority vote. How the hell did we get here? I spent all of today watching clips of the Ellen Degeneres show. And for anyone who has seen that show, you know that it's utterly hysterical. But it's also amazing. As i was waching, I couldnt believe all of the things she has done for people and done for the world. She brings out the best in people, and people in turn bring out the best in her. And i don't understand why we can't all operate like this. Live, laugh, love: is that such a bad way to live your life? I don't claim to be perfect, and I definitely don't consider myself to have all the answers to the problems the world faces, but it seems to me that this could be one of them. Live, Laugh, Love. Three little things. Live your life. Don't put off to tomorrow what you can do now. Sieze the day. Let yourself laugh. Even when the world is falling, even when the future seems black, its okay to laugh. When I die, I want people to laugh about all the things I did when i was living, not cry about all the things i wont get to do now that im gone. And most of all love. Love yourself, love your family, love your friends, love your enemy. Because if everyone gives a little more love, just a little more to just one person, soon, there wont be any more enemies. There wont be any more reasons to wage war. Which means no more reasons for children to march off to fight a battle they can't win, to fight for a country that is falling apart at the seams.  Literally. America is supposed to be the land of opportunity, a melting pot of cultures where freedom is the number one. Well here I am in America, and every day I see people made fun of, picked on, and bullied for being who they are. I see laws being passed about specific groups of people, denying them human rights. HUMAN rights! We are ALL human. Not just the whites, not just the americans, not just the christians, or the wealthy, or the heterosexuals. ALL of us. And it makes me want to cry that people can't see this. That we are so blinded by prejudice and hate that we lose sight of what's really important, what really matters. We keep on marching forward, and never even notice that there are people left behind. Never even notice that there are those who can't march any further. And i say we need to look back. Stop your marching and glance over your shoulder. Maybe you'll see the old men who spent their entire lives together, and still can't get married. Maybe you'll see the little girl, whose family is being torn apart and there's nothing she can do to stop it. Maybe you'll see the teenagers who bravely go to school every day, hiding their shame and their lonliness. Maybe it's someone you know, someone you love. Look back. Pay attention. Open your eyes. We are not helpless, and we are not alone. We are 6 billion human hearts strong. So live with an open mind, laugh with open arms , and love with an open heart.

"What the world needs now, is love, sweet love."
