I know my Heart

feel so muddled by all the media junk flying around. it's hard to trust anyone anymore. most "news" is either slanted toward or against some view, and not many neutral sources anymore. instead of just stating facts like news should do... news is now putting in adjectives and and ideas that i can see are being used to bring out a certain emotion or idea into our minds (for or against whatever that specific article is planning).

conservative or liberal, birther or non birther, pro life or pro choice, pro Christian or pro anything else, tolerance or intolerance, news or gossip, truth or conspiracy theory....

it's all too much.

Hype should not be dragging us around in the form of news. I have decided to guard myself from the whims of media, and trust my heart.

i know my heart, and i know what i believe... at it's core...

i believe that human life is worth saving...

i believe in honesty, and am painfully honest (like a truth syrum sometimes, actually.)

i believe that anyone can change, everyone needs forgiveness, because no one is perfect, we're all just trying to live....

i believe that no one should be hated, but that actions can be hated, and that people should help teach about actions that they feel are wrong or hurtful to others...

i believe in morality...

i believe that people should try to be the best humans they can be, and treat others like they want to be treated...

i believe in showing kindness..

i believe in listening with an open (but guarded) mind. i will hear other views, but it will be through much soul searching whether i will let it change me.

i believe that i have a lot to learn, that i have in no means "made it" i am an impulsive, emotional human, and constantly disappointed in myself. but i am working on it.

i judge myself every day, and work to improve. i believe that it's every human's job to do the same.
