Do you actually want change? What are you going to do to achieve it?

 Hey everyone! I know I didn't post yesterday but I've been in the process of moving. Next Tuesday I go back to Indiana. I'm super excited because I'm planning to get a job. I'm thinking of daycare or just something simple, like a restaurant. It will be new for me because I've never worked but I believe it will also have a positive effect on me and my social skills. If any of you have any recommendations for a first-time job, please let me know! Anyway, today I want to talk about something that I think nobody talks about enough. Change, and do people in the world actually want to partake in the protests and sticking up for what they believe even if other people don't agree? Like always, if you have a comment or want to speak up, feel free to! 

 Change. It's something that many people talk about yet do nothing about. Police brutality or Women's rights or plastered all over the internet, but those same people sat back and recorded it? Did they intervene? People all over have sat back and watched horrific police brutality instead of stepping in and I know it might be scary, but in order to make a change and fight for what is right, It's necessary. Why do people claim to feel so strongly about certain topics yet do nothing to support the claim? we can't say we want to fight for what is right, complain that nobody is doing anything, when YOU as well are not doing anything.

There are so many people in the world who think change will magically happen. Have you ever met someone who spoke so much about something but never took the time to do something to better the topic they weren't fond of? I have. SO many people in the world claim to support mental health and be a helping hand but those same people blindly sit back and allow cyber bullying, or even worse, are a part of it. Those same people had a friend commit a horrific act after not receiving the help they needed and instead of being a friend and offering that person support, they turn their backs and become cruel to the person they once promised they'd always be there for. Are people really wanting to make a difference in the world? Or is it all selfishness, ignorance and popularity? Do they just want to look good for the media, the person they are interested in, a family member? Are you tired of hearing how people want change, yet so many of them sit around doing nothing? Me too. That's why I started this mental health blog. I seriously want to help people and make people feel less alone and if me typing my feelings can do that, I'm all for it!

Honestly guys, if you want something, you have to fight for it. Life has so much more to it than " wishing " on a star you'll become sober and get your kids back just to wake up the next morning and go drink again. You can't pray to what you believe and wish you won't pick up that lighter, bong or needle and then immediately do it again. What is the point? Life has so much more to it than " wishing " you'll find love and someone to hold you at night but you refuse to leave your house or be anything of a good person. I believe that you can get things you want, but you have to work for it. I do not understand why so much misery exists in the world, but I know if we want to create a safe positive place in the world and around us, we have to actually take the steps to do that. 

I sit on discord calls a lot. If you're not familiar with what discord is, it's a social app where you can connect with people all over the world. You can join servers that suit you interest and learn about what you love. I'm in a mental health server that has been there for me a long time. The people in it are so supportive and honestly have a special place in my heart. It shows me that people all around can care for how you're feeling and what you're going through without knowing you. It restores my faith in humanity. The reason I'm bringing discord up is because so many people on discord can be negative. These are the same people who are in their local mental health groups at school, the same people who go to church and pray for life to get easier for them when they do nothing but sit around and hurt people. There are so many people who spread hate on there yet claim to be so against it. I don't understand. I wish more people actually cared about the world and the people in it.

If you feel strongly about topics that aren't spoken about enough, start speaking up. Make a blog, a video, protest. It's possible and you may start off not getting the attention you need but if you truly want to make a difference, other people will speak up too. I hope that if you believe in something, you stop being afraid of what people will think. I hope you speak loud and proud. I hope you yap about it until you can't anymore. You can make a difference. I have to go pack now but it was nice writing this. I felt extreme emotions. Mostly anger because I want people to take things seriously. Our world is deteriorating, and nobody seems to actually care. Talk soon and like always, feel free to comment. Have a good day.
