I believe that a government with women at the helm would result in a better America, with less war and more civil negotiations, and I believe that people should stop referring to their significant other as their “better half” because it promotes the gross idea that individuals are anything less than whole and need to be dependent on another human being to feel complete.

I believe that money cannot buy happiness because it is happiness and I believe that people should stop scapegoating society for every wrong and every injustice of the world when they’re actually blaming themselves because they are society.

I believe friendship is shamelessly farting in front of each other and that Jesus is laughing at us from Heaven because it’s 2014 and majority of the population is still wrongly depicting him as a pasty Anglo-Saxon when he was born and raised in the Middle East.

I believe that the Cinderella’s ugly-stepsisters aren’t ugly because they’re mean, rather they’re mean because they’re ugly, because ugly people have a chip on their shoulders from a lifetime’s worth of short-end-of-the-stick treatment from the rest of the shallow world because we will always treat attractive people better than those who aren’t and I believe that eating is one of the greatest joys you can experience on Earth, but its often underappreciated because so many people take that minute privilege for granted.

I believe enjoyment is an excellent TV series, movie, book, that can speak to you on an infinitely deeper level than anything in tangible reality could, that hits all of the right literary buttons, that lets you live vicariously through it, allowing you to experience things beyond your uncontainable imagination and I believe that the education system should stop using a number acquired from a Standardized exam that doesn’t even test critical thinking to define an individual’s intelligence.

I believe in cherishing your parents, no matter how insufferable they seem right now, because contrary to popular belief, family is not forever; you may not have noticed, but your parents are getting older so you should enjoy your time with them while it still lasts and I believe majority of human beings attempts to leave an impact on the world will be fruitless because for most of us, life will be too short to accomplish anything worthwhile.

But despite all this, I still strongly believe that Aang, and the gang, can save the world.

Favorite Quote:
My favorite quote comes from an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it's something she said that I really thought was true. She said: The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.

I love the reference to avatar the last air bender!
