Day 323

#np - American Idiot by Green Day


**Disclaimer:  This has nothing to do with the Olympics.  I'm totally Team USA.**

I found myself so disappointed yesterday.  I switched on the news and saw Americans of all beliefs creating a divisive culture that alienates people.  I won't rehash the issues surrounding Chick-Fil-A.  It's in the news.  You can google it.  I think my feeling are very apparent on this blog so I won't go into those either.  This song does that for me as well.

But I'm sad.  I'm sad because I prefer to love people rather than hate.  There's too much hating going on from both sides.  When I die, I want people to remember me for how much I loved everything and everyone.  I've stated before that I don't want to leave this life having taken things for granted.  That includes people.  I want to love and I want to experience people.  I have no room in my heart for hate. None.

It's hard to wake up and celebrate another day toward 30 when I know people are using their days to perpetuate hate.  I must redouble my efforts to put positivity and love into the world.
