slow down. stay strong.

So here's the thing.

Times are getting crazy.

The world is changing.

It's getting harder to stick up for your beliefs.

People (who unfortunately don't know what they're talking about) think you're crazy,

and you are still shaking your head at the ignorance of the world.

Just stay strong.

This is so random, but sometimes I get overwhelmed by the onslaught of immorality and rudeness in the world and I remember that this is a very real battle we are fighting against sin and ignorance.

And I've seen too many of my friends give in and forget what they believed in and it makes me crazy sad.

Do the little things to stay strong and faithful, guys. They make all the difference in the world.

But mainly - whatever you believe, just make sure it is something that promotes goodness. And don't be so quick to judge others on what they believe. Take some time to figure out why people believe what they do, and respect each other for it! I bet you anything that if you get down to the real reason someone believes in something, you will find something you have in common and you will connect over it. 

There is just too. much. hate and ignorance and judgment in the world right now.

And some of you may think some of my beliefs are hateful or judgmental, but if you think that then you don't know me at all. Take some time to understand where people are coming from. And just get rid of the stereotypes. Open your mind and your heart. There is goodness everywhere. Don't be so quick to judge.

Just. Don't. Be. So. Quick.

Okay. Enough seriousness. Time for a popsicle.
