November 14th | Follow Me

Follow me follow me home
I'll show you the way to go
Follow me when you are low

Through thick and thin, sleet and snow
You will never be alone
Upon mud, metal and stone

Throughout all that can be shown,
I'll show you which way to go;
In light of day we'll walk slow,

So
Follow me, 
follow me home.

Why Modern Politics is Destroying Us

I may not be a political science major, but I have a decent grasp of United States politics, and right now we're a mess. Anyone in the world can see it, since our political revels and defeats are always being splayed across news and social media.

Everyone has morals. Everyone has beliefs. Everyone thinks they're right. But what happens when there isn't only one answer?  What happens when diverse groups of people are tossed together like a salad?

All You Need Is Love.

So, Valentines Day went by like absolutely nothing. Maybe it's 'cause I'm single, and had nothing to do. Maybe. But it went by like it was air.

Then after a calming shower, I listened to the Beatles, who kindly sang to me "All You Need is Love" and I decided something. Peter Pan, at the very end of the movie, says "To live. To live will be an awfully big adventure." And he's 100% right. To live is a great adventure. Maybe death will be too, but who really knows. So for now, we must take in every line on the paper, every detailed drop of ink on the parchment. Take it all in and absorb it. Because you never know if it will be short, but you can bet that it will be an adventure. And then as The Beatles so kindly reminded me, all we need is love ! It's fine as gold and true as red white and fre
