Charities
Whom to give to? Everybody wants donations. Church? Private schools? The poor? Those sad-eyed dogs on TV? What is behind some donations? A leg up, perhaps? This is where my world turns black and white. Donating money is serious business for me. I don't have a lot, but when I give—I give with my heart. Donating to private schools and pet projects is all well and good, but these are not what you think of when you hear the word "charity."

5 Reasons You Should Consider Long Term Volunteering
Growing up, I volunteered at local soup kitchens, domestic violence shelters, school events, and community service projects. The best part is nobody made me, I chose to volunteer my time for good causes. In this day and age most people send money to organizations or projects they support and while that's great and surely appreciated, people who can't donate financially can donate something just as important and needed- their time!

How To Change Your World
We all want to make the world a better place (except on those days where we wouldn't mind watching it burn, either), but such a concept seems impossible and nostalgic, at best. Corruption, fraud, human selfishness, and an endless cycle of pain often seem to crush any effort to try and stop the sky from falling, and the political and spiritual leaders who say they are here to help often end up doing us more harm than good. However, I'm not here to sell snake oil or tell you of a balm from some middle eastern shore, but I am here to say that there is a way for you to make a real and lasting difference in the world. That is. Your world.

Change Is One Decision Away
Have you ever looked at your life and wondered... “How did I get here?” or better yet, “How do I get out of this insanity that I’ve created for myself?” Don’t you wish you could just change it all? Well, the good news is, you are only one decision away from change.

Just Do It
"If you can't beat fear, do it scared." Lately I have been forcing myself to do the little ideas I get in my head that I usually shy away from; the things that are not hard to do; the things that just seem pointless or silly because no one else is doing it. When in reality I could be the leader in the situation and truly encourage human beings to step out of their shells and go ahead and do what makes them so them. I can imagine you’re wondering, “what in the hell is she talking about?” So I’m going to give some examples.

// BEING (Almost) 18 //
Wow. It's almost here. I'm 2 days away from being 18 and I don't know how to feel. I know that more opportunities are going to come my way in life and I know that more things are going to open up for me—my world is my oyster at this point. But still. More responsibilities. More time to manage.

Genderless
My whole life I’ve just thought some clothes were for boys and some clothes were just for girls. Until high school started and I started to see more and more people dress however they want. Such as on the internet, in school, on the streets, etc. and the more I saw it the more I loved it. I want people to see now that this is the 21st Century and you should be able to dress and look however you want and everyone should just accept it. It's more than just an angry opinion this thought could change the world if you let it.

Having It All Together
Do you often hear people comment when asked how they are doing that they are "working on it" or " getting it together"? WHY is this a constant when we are supposed to be getting our lives together early on so we can be smooth sailing? The problem is that we are all lying to each other. We tell ourselves a false reality when we are young that if we just follow these specific steps, that life will fall in place. We will find sexy love, be brilliant bosses, and make enough money to comfortably fit our families of three, one dog, two cats, and a Billy Goat ( If you live down South). Here is some advice for young people to slap some reality into this unfortunate lie that we are told by others.
