And I believe in....

As soon as I read today's prompt, I just wanted to start singing "What the world needs now, is love, sweet love." And interestingly, considering the state of the world right now, that may be the answer.

Day 2: One thing the world needs more of.

Despite the slightly convoluted story and message that the Wonder Woman gives us, this ending is pretty much the answer to today's prompt. Love, love is what the world needs more of.

Love is what drives our hearts to do things we didn't know we were capable of. And it's not romantic love (though that is pretty powerful too), but everything from a calling to join a service (military, religion, showbusiness, etc), to the desire to help other people (from civil servants to teachers), to even just wanting to help yourself. Everything we do is driven by love, and maybe if we had some more, preferably love for each other, the world would be a better place. We would start acting with our fellow citizens of the world, or country, city, block, in mind and thus making changes for the better.

Take for example the changes I'm slowly implementing at the store. One could say that it is for the love of organization, clarity, communication, and the selfish love of wanting my job to be easier. But the fact is I am making a change that will benefit everyone. So little things like that, even though they don't have that big of an impact, because I care, will help the rest of my team. See? Love.

But Wonder Woman did say it better than that.

"I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind, but then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. I learned that inside every one of them there will always be both. The choice each must make for themselves - something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know, that only Love can truly save the world. So I stay, I fight, and I give - for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever."

And the girl's got a point. We can affect change in our world, no matter how big or how little, but the point is we have to do something.

I don't know if this blog will ever take off as something bigger than it is now, I don't know if I'll ever find my place or my purpose, and I have no clue if my movie reviews (if I ever get to even writing them) will impact anyone's life.
But all this that I do, it is with love (or some form of it), and one day, it will mean something to someone else.

But yeah, Love.

(yay for not incorporating a Titanic reference!)

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
