Today is January 23rd. When you guys read this,
it will be January 27th. I am not writing this post to bring
politics to this blog, but to remind all of you of the importance of standing
up for what you believe in. Last weekend, the sister marches took place all
over the world. Hundreds of thousands of people marched all over the world standing
up for what they believed in. Living near New York City, almost everyone I know
went to the city and protested in one way or another. Unfortunately, I was away
this weekend, and could not make it to any of the marches in California on
time. I relied on all of my friends and family to protest on my behalf.
I am a part of the Facebook group “Pantsuit Nation”, a group
created so people can share their experiences and empower others. Saturday, I
was looking through my Facebook feed, and a majority of the posts related to the
marches all over the world in some way or another. Driving from Los Angeles to
San Diego, I started crying. I saw all these stories of people from all over
the world, different ages, genders, ethnicities, races, people from different
cultures, backgrounds, religions coming together. There is so much good on this
beautiful planet, let’s not let the bad ruin it all.
Diversity is a good thing. It lets us learn. It helps us
grow. It educates us. Diversity does not split us a part, rather it brings us
together. Why should we try to kill it?
Whether you live in America, or in Europe, or Asia, or any other
place, please inspire others, lift them up, and empower them even if they look
different or believe in different things than you do.
I don’t care if you are a Democrat, or a Republican, but you
are a functioning member of an important society.
Remember that you won’t get anywhere by taking away the
rights of others, you won’t have anything more if others have less, but letting
others practice what they believe in will bring happiness to the world around
you.
Please, please, please be kind to one another, because you never know their struggle.
I love you guys so much, and I'll see you on Tuesday with a happier, lighter post!
XOXO,
Jordan
