Speak,

Have you ever had those days, where you feel like your voice doesn't matter? Like, you do not meant anything. That you're just another face in the crowd. The days you felt like you were invisible.

We've all had them. Honestly, recently I've felt like my voice is just something irrelevant. I felt as if my voice was holding me back in a way. People misinterperet how I feel. They think because I am so passionate about certain things, I come off pessimistic or negative about everything, which in fact, is not the case at all. I want things to be cherished. I want people to appreciate things, and even, even if it helps just ONE person, I'd be happy. Would you call that pessimism?

If you don't speak up for what you think is right, who will? Your voice is the biggest gift you have, you should rejoice over the fact that you have one. The fact that you can express your ideals and such should be a gift. Your voice can dictate your future in a way as well. If you have no voice, you have no backbone, thus you are open to everything, not good. I encourage each and every one of you to voice what ever it is that is on your mind, whether it be politics, fashion, music, friendship, or school, your voice is yours to have and to hold. Totally cliche I know, but it is the utter truth. You have the power within that voice you hold. It contains the biggest depth to it because you can stand up against what you think is wrong. People can hear you out, and see things in a new perspective, as well as we should see other's views in new perspectives. We have a world compiled of nearly six billion people and each and everyone of us has our sets of values. It is up to you to decide whether you want to validize your values. Open up your eyes, and envision a new world, where it is okay to voice what you believe is right and credible of course. You must back up your statements. Don't say something hateful though. And remember nothing is a bad ideal or topic or value, if you hold it near and dear to you, that should be the only thing that matters. The world is not a democracy nor a monarchy but a YOUocracy, well if that makes a bit of since. Remember do not change how you feel because it's "IN." The chills you get with passion, it's quite amazing...
