I believe

I read this beautiful and comical quote by Neil Gamain where he stated all the things he believes in. As I read it I thought, if I had to write what I believe in, what would I say.

I believe in truths. My truth, your truth, a strangers truth. I believe everyone has their very own truth on how the world functions and how life is and should be and I believe every single bit of every single person's truth. 

I believe in Christmas and not necessarily a large man in a red suit coming down my chimney, but the things that man represents. I believe Marilyn Monroe was one of the greatest woman in our history and that Lucille Ball was one of the funniest. I believe that one day the Jonbenet Ramsey's and the Susan Powell's of this world will receive justice. Whether it's in this life or another life, I'm not really sure. 

I believe that knowledge is power and confidence is beauty. I believe that people are mostly good but our good intentions get tripped up along the way.

I believe that the teletubbies are the most morbid and disturbing children's show ever invented and wonder what kind of person would create such a thing.

I believe there is a direct correlation between drugs/alcohol and crime but without crime we wouldn't have reality tv like Jersey Shore or Dateline: To Catch a Predator, leaving many people on their Thursday or Friday night's completely bored.

I believe it's okay to lay in bed and do absolutely nothing all day for at least one day. Those who judge you just haven't done it before.

I believe in republican and conservative views yet I believe in a women's right to choose and equal right for every person. I believe that racism is ignorance and that people who are racist ultimately hinder their over all quality of life.

I believe that the greatest downfall of society is our emphasis on individualism and that if for at least two minutes every day, every single person cared about another person, this world would be a much better place.

I believe that life was easier when I was a child and that adults made it look a lot cooler than it is. I believe that my first two years of college made me permanently tired and that all the long drives back home made me remember why I won't ever leave the city again.

I believe in a merciful, powerful, and loving God. I believe that he sends angels to guide us and help us and that often times we are so preoccupied that we don't realize the help we receive.

I believe that most people love bad news and will share it at any chance they have. I believe it takes a really special person to share more good news than bad. I believe that hard work goes a lot further than more things in this life and that a conversation with an intelligent person is good for the soul. 

I believe that if you have at least one good friend in life you're doing something right.

I believe in simple kindness and white lies to spare someones feelings. I believe that all human interactions can diminish or brighten each other's light.

I believe that life has it's ups and downs and that without an ability to laugh at yourself and at life you'll go utterly insane.
