I believe in fun. I believe in honesty. I believe in being open with everyone. I believe in stepping out of your comfort zone. I believe in loyalty. I believe in apologies. I believe in doing it anyway, even if you’re scared. I believe in standing up for what’s right. I believe in tough love. I believe in self-discovery. I believe in calling people out. I believe in playing dress up. I believe in destiny. I believe in discipline. I believe in prayer. I believe in dreams. I believe in being content with what you have. I believe in the paranormal. I believe in moving forward. I believe in the power of words. I believe in preparedness. I believe in redemption.
I don’t believe in sweeping problems under the rug. I don’t believe in deceit – any form of it. I don’t believe in giving up on “kids stuff” just because you grew up. I don’t believe in hiding from despair. I don’t believe in pretending to care about someone. I don’t believe in ignoring the problems of the people around you because they make you uncomfortable. I don’t believe in settling. I don’t believe in hurting someone because you are too embarrassed to tell the truth. I don’t believe in giving up on dreams. I don’t believe in praising God in one breath, and hurting one of His creations in another. I don’t believe in pretending “bad things” don’t exist.
Last and definitely not least:
I don’t believe in giving up pieces of yourself just because others find them unacceptable.
I don't think that’s everything I do and don’t believe in, but it’s a good start. I may start randomly adding in new “believe” and “don’t believe” ideas later, but for now this will have to do or it’ll never get posted.
