I Live My Life for You

Cultural identity is a part of my everyday life. I don’t often think about it, if not, at all. It’s just like speaking your language; you do it naturally. The cultural heritage that we’re exposed to from everything around us, shapes our cultural inheritance. We have the decision to choose whether we want to do something; those choices can make or break us. It all comes down to who you truly want to be as a person; whether you make decisions on your own or make decisions encouraged by the people…

On Thursday night I got the chance to see to Taylor Swift live for the second time (I can feel you judging, judgey people - She's amazing & the show is incredible - except for the part where she didn't play Wonderland, but we don't need to talk about that and I'm not even sorry for going.) but each time I see her or any live show I'm left in absolute awe of what I've just experienced, and after experiencing this particular show it got me thinking about what live music is for me and the feeling…

inspirational man, known as Walt Disney, once said: “If you can dream it, you can do it.” These are the words that come to mind when I think about my future and my abilities to achieve my goals. However, it was not so easy for me to discover what exactly those goals were. Then, I wrote my personal mission statement. This helped me discover who I am and the person I want to be. There are many things I value in life, such as; my family, my education, encouragement, compassion, kindness and…

There is not much business but it is the only place that was hiring. you cannot even leave to get a better job because you have yet to pass the driving test that you have taken millions of times. Your neighbor hates your guts and makes it known, your only friend is mentally challenged, and your boss is a lying cheapskate. Worst of all, you live in a…

One cage that I think I'm stuck in is society setting a lot of different standards and expectations that people think that you have follow and…

By living without morality and creating your own happiness, your life will recur how you want it and you won’t want to change a thing about it. I also believe that everyone has many things in life that matter. From material objects to spiritual beings,…

Are you a good person? A person of morals and values? An ethical person? Yes? If so, then: How much are you willing to give up? How much can you give up? How much will you?
