One Day at a Time

Sometimes it's things like this that are what get you by.
Sometimes all you can do is look at a picture and take yourself there.
Take yourself away from here.
Put yourself in front of this colossal ball of gas and realize how small you are,
and how small all your problems are.
Let the rings take you away to a different world.

Sometimes,
It's all you can do.

Fear Not

I generally try to keep directly religious things off this blog, but this one was just too good to pass up. It is true that many great people were atheist or some other form of non-belief. Just because you are a Christian doesn't mean you're moral and perfect, being a Muslim doesn't make you a terrorist, being Jewish doesn't make you evil or penny-pinching.

Don't hate because of religion. How someone structures their internal beliefs is not up to you and it never should be.

You don't have to love everyone, but neither do you have to hate them.

Being

Don't be normal. Be different. Be who you are. Don't conform to who others think you are. Don't be who society says you should be.

Stand in a crowd and make your own music. Stand in a crowd and listen to something different.

Be who you are.
