I had an extremely Catholic education, even though I don't have faith and I'm very rational and analytical when I can set aside my emotions (something I struggle with a lot). I don't believe in God, but I wish I did. Seriously, I want to believe in God so much, but I don't. Still, I feel peace inside when I go to church. My motto has become, 'Do no evil, and don't let others do evil things to me.' What I want to say is: find peace within yourself. It could be a walk in the park, going to church, or anything that puts you in a peaceful place. I know I have the power to be extremely destructive and evil — unfortunately, I can — but I rationally choose not to. The calmer I feel inside, the more powerful I feel. The power to become better for myself and others, without being naive. I know I'm growing every day, and I actively work on myself to enjoy every day I'm alive. Don't let yourself be consumed by the drama the media creates for you. Leave the toxicity outside yourself and embrace a new peaceful reality — your reality. From my side I still have a long way to go, but step by step, I will get there.
