Anyone who actually is reading my blog, you have most likely noticed I changed, well, everything. The name, the color scheme, and everything. But the blog is going to stay the same. It is just the name of the blog really didn't fit what I was writing anymore, so I have been trying to figure out a new name and look for a while now.
Today while I was walking it just hit me. Like a semi on a freeway. "It is just all my thoughts thrown together in some wild display of randomness! Every post is... Just A Thought!" and BAM! blog name! then BLAMO! thought bubble-thought cloud- CLOUDS! new look!!! so don't freak out because you loaded up my page and it looks nothing like it used to! It is going to change a few more times probably until I find the perfect look. The name will stick forever probably, but I want to eventually get my own pictures up here. Not just something I found and edited on the internet.

Music
Music is a big deal in my life. I love listening to it and just escaping. Sure that is how it is with everyone but it is so much more than that for me. When I listen to my favorite song I don't just hear the music, I can feel it. It brings me from where ever I am right then and puts me in the middle of this beautiful, serene, peaceful place that I am free to be me.
That is a big deal.
I dont think more than 2 people know the real true me. So many people I have to lie to, some the same, some know different lies. I am such a caring person about what others think that I have to hide who I am. And in those 3 minutes, listening to that one song that can make me feel bliss, I am finally free to think and be me. The real me.
I delve so deep into my writing trying to show others what I am feeling but I don't think anyone really sees what I am trying to say when I am writing. Sure they see what I am actually writing, as in the story itself. But no one sees what lies behind, the honest truth that I am trying to expose through my words.
But that is all fine, I don't know for sure if I really want people to know the real me. It scares me to open my self. But it hurts sometimes to hide me under a pile of lies.
That's why I have my music, not just to express myself but to find myself. Sometimes I am in hiding for so long, trying to hide the real me from everyone that I start to forget who I am. But music helps me to redefine me.
Music will forever be a huge part in my life. I will make sure that my children are exposed to music, all genres, because every type has different emotions hidden with in. It is important for people to discover themselves and I see a way of doing that is through music.
Some people want to blame music for the way kids misbehave, but it isn't the music, it is just them acting upon everything they keep hidden inside. Music is a cure, it is a safe haven, not the enemy.
That is a big deal.

Are you on the right side of history?
Years and years from now, when our children's children are coming over to visit and they talk about 'back when gay people didn't have equal rights' what will you tell them? Will you talk about how you stood your ground and fought through all odds to win your rights? will you tell them that you were there, standing side by side with your gay friends/family, to help them win their rights? or will you tell them that you were against it? 2 of those answers will make your grand kids look up at you in pride. Spoiler: the last one isn't one of them.
You might not realize it now, but years from now this WILL end up in the history books. It might not seem like that big of a deal to some people, but it is bigger than you know.
I bet during the women's rights movement, many men thought that women wouldn't get their rights and that years later it would all be done for and forgotten. But that wasn't the case, women never gave up, they fought, and they fought until they had the same rights as any man. Today we read about it in the history books.
Even farther back, when blacks had to fight for their rights. Whites saw them as less. Like they weren't human beings. But that wasn't all whites! some whites were there and supported the black's getting their rights. Again, people thought it would just go away, that this wouldn't be a big deal, but it DIDN'T go away, it went on until rights were given. Today we read about it in the history books.
A little closer to home now. Some might not even think about this now, but for a while, blacks and whites couldn't marry one another. They fought and won their rights as well. During this fight it was said that if blacks and whites were aloud to marry one another, it would tear the fabric of society! The next step would be people wanting to marry their dogs! Everything would change and not for the better. But here we are, inter-racial families are just a normal part of society now. We read about this in the history books.
Now here we are, gay people having to fight for OUR right to marry. Really, you think people would see the pattern by now. People fight for their rights until they get it. We aren't just going to give up because you say 'The bible says it is wrong.' There is a reason for the separation of church and state, this is one of those reasons. We can't make a decision based on our religion. Just because you believe something doesn't mean everyone else does. There are gay christians and churches that accept gay people into their society, just because you are stuck in the past, doesn't mean the world should be also.
The world is a new place now compared to what it was. Has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe what the bible is, isn't all that it ever will be? Maybe there is more out there being written right now as I type, The rules in the bible changed from the old to new testament. Who's to say it wont change again? People change, times change. It is just life.
So I will ask you again:
Stop and look at your self right now...
When this time is looked back on in the future...
Will you be seen as the good guy?...
Or the bad guy?
