I believe in escaping the norms of society and being yourself. I believe in dancing in the rain, running around Wal-Mart, singing at the top of your lungs all the time, and taking too many pictures. I believe in the ridiculous. I believe that no one has the right to tell you that your actions are odd. I do not believe in popularity; however, I believe that there are those who think too highly of themselves. I believe in confidence, not cockiness. I believe that there is no true definition to the words beautiful or ugly. I do not believe there is a 'right' or 'wrong'.

I believe in mismatched socks. I believe in wasting time, just looking at the stars. I do not believe that one person can change the world, but I feel like the world can change one person. I believe in standing up for yourself and putting your foot down. I believe in running away just to see who will follow you. I believe in love, family, and friends. I do not believe in war or hate. I believe in foolishness, and 'maturity' has no meaning to me. I do not think that we can outgrow our childhood, but that we can forget it, and that is the biggest mistake you can make in life. I believe that you should let go of your past and just move on. I believe that no one has the right to harm you in any way, shape, size, or form, and if they do, I believe in being the bigger person and ignoring them, and the strong desire to slap them.

I believe that the biggest mistake in life is wasting precious moments, and instead using them to be angry, sad, or hateful. I believe in playing in dirt, and always being willing to play with a little kid. I believe that time is the only thing that can heal a person, and I do not believe that idolizing one thing or person can ever result in something good. I believe in silliness and happiness. I believe that greatness exists in every living being on this planet. I believe that those who take advantage of life and the beautiful opportunities given to us are the ones who need a friend most. I believe in hugs and reassurance. I believe that heartbreak is only temporary, and death is a part of life that we too often see as negative. I believe that escaping this world and going into whatever comes next is amazing.

I believe in the abstract. I believe in randomness and fun. I believe in the mindset of a little kid, and I believe that they are the ones who are truly wise. I believe in seeing life for what it is, not trying to sugarcoat anything or trying to make things bigger than they are. I believe that everything that happens on this world is miniscule compared to how big the universe is. I believe in staying up late talking to an old friend, and I believe that the time you spend sleeping is time wasted.

I believe in life and enjoying every last minute of it. I do not believe that sadness can ever truly take over ourselves, and I believe that those who try to make other's feel horrible about themselves are the ones who are truly disgusting. I believe that what goes around comes around.

I believe that 'fitting in' is a waste of time, and I believe I'll never conform to this uniform that society has created for us.
