Discrimination

Discrimination and prejudice are caused by misguidance and a lack of education. People that discriminate aren't necessarily wrong, they've just been misinformed. Ignorance isn't a characteristic that has to be lived with; it can be changed and evolved into wisdom and acceptance, with a broad open mind.  

Creation

We don't create ourselves, our body; but in time, people and experiences create who we are and will become. People lie. They create trust issues. People give insults. They create self esteem issues. People use violence and commit crimes. They create fear. We are only born with two fears, falling and loud noises. The rest of them are created.

Equality

Everyone is born equal, but somewhere down the road the people we've met and the experiences we've had shape us into different people. We are no longer equal. Some have vicious personalities, and some are the complete opposite. They will do everything in their power to make others happy. As personalities go, no we're not equal. As citizens and humans, we deserve the same rights and opportunities. No one is better than anyone else, despite their attitude and outlook on life. People can't help who they have become but they can change, if they get help and fight for what they want.

What now?

What happens when you don't even know how you feel anymore? When you've gone through too much and have tried too hard to hold yourself together that you've gotten too tired and let yourself break? What happens when you lose who you are and don't know who are what matters anymore? When you don't know reality from your imagination? When you want nothing more than to tell someone that you need help but don't know how the hell to say it? When you love someone so much that you would do anything and everything you could to keep them in your life, but they don't even realize or appreciate your love? When you're falling apart while trying to keep it together?

Comparisons

No matter how many times a person says they know exactly what you're going through and how you're feeling; it isn't true. They might have gone through a similar situation, but every single person handles things differently. What might be normal for one person might be tragic for someone else. Nobody knows another person's emotional or mental state. They just assume they know their situation and compare themselves to the other person, when in reality they have no idea what they're comparing. They might know the way that person is feeling to an extent, but no one will ever know exactly how another feels or what they're going through.

Just, maybe

Maybe life doesn't happen the way we intend it to. Maybe we have the wrong idea about what life is supposed to be. We imagine that we're going to have the perfect job, relationship, family, the perfect everything; but that's never the case for anyone. No matter who we are or what life has given us, no one is ever satisfied with what they have. As humans we always wish for better. We want other people's lives and everything we don't have. I'll never know why. Maybe something happened to us when we were younger. Maybe we have a mental illness or an issue with trust, a fear that we can't overcome, or a grudge we can't let go of, or a goal we refuse not to meet. No matter what the situation is, we always want better for ourselves. Even if we know we don't deserve it.

People are strange

My obsession with horror movies and novels began at an early age. From the first time I saw a scary movie I was addicted. I began watching them constantly and rarely watched anything else. I didn’t start reading books that involved murder and suspense until I entered middle school.

I read small books about ghosts and haunted places when I was elementary school, but my interest grew as I got older. My favorite author of all time is Stephen King. Tim Burton is my favorite director, and Johnny Depp is my favorite actor. They are all geniuses and I have complete, utter respect for them.

            I am fascinated by individuals who have experience in being absolutely creepy and weird. I admire people who have no care in the world about what others think about them, and I always will. I love how some people are completely open with any idea and have such a creative and unbiased look on life. Their capability to pull off, literally anything is outrageously respectable to me and I admire anyone who can do what they feel and not even think twice about what others might say or imagine.

            The genre of horror, to me is brilliant. The ability to create disturbing, yet realistic situations is by far one of the best qualities or talent an individual can possess, in my opinion. I spend every moment I can; reading or viewing anything related to murder, abduction, or the paranormal. I find everything about horror fascinating and I adore discovering new stories or real life cases that involve gruesome and violent situations.

            I find that testing my power to withstand terror, somehow adds to my character. Being able to face everyday fears, such as darkness, monsters, and killers helps a person grow into a strong and compelling being. Seeing things, such as torture and murder, in movies; I believe helps a person prepare for things that might happen in everyday life and also helps them to be more understanding of other creativity and art, even if it is horrendous. I admire the fact that there are people out there in the world who have an odd way of viewing things and creating images for others to see.

            I have always had respect for the socially awkward. I honestly believe that people that might seem a little quirky bring life to this world with new, macabre; eerie ideas. My love for horror is continuing to grow, stupendously. I can’t get enough of the terrifying truth that this world, majority of the time keeps secret. Learning new, lurid things about people and places on this earth enhances my curiosity and keeps it augmenting.

            This world needs eccentric people. After all “everyone is a little odd, some are just better at hiding it.” I wish that everyone were just a little more optimistic and accepting. Even the seemingly open people have something that they positively can’t handle; therefore everyone has room for improvement. Horror helps people grasp atrocious things and helps them to be more receptive.
