Racing Thoughts

It’s okay to think sometimes.

By Sadi ShepherdPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

You see the world we live in is so black and white. Stuck at a stand still everybody always trying to figure out what’s wrong or right. There’s always somebody trying to tell you how to live your life. Believe this. Believe that. Drink this. Don’t smoke that. Picking which sins are too old school. Like sex before marriage is okay. We’re humans. We need that. But if you love someone of the same gender you’re going to hell. We can’t have that. It’s okay for kids to have sex and make babies event though it’s likely that those babies will eventually end up in the system because babies shouldn’t be making babies. But if you’re a man and you love another man that’s wrong and we can’t understand. Love is love and if we could all grasp that maybe we could all love each other. But I don’t see that happening within the near nor far future as we all just keep growing more and more hateful towards one another. And it’s sad because we’re all supposed to be sisters and brothers. We’re all so caught up on the colors of skin, but none of that should matter because beauty comes from within. And if you aren’t pretty on the inside then nothing matters on your outside. We need to open our hearts and minds and stop judging everybody by the way they live their lives. Peace and love ✌🏽
