I'd like to make it clear that these challenges have no time limit. So, whoever you are, when you someday find this blog, and you see the mini challenges that I leave here, then do them, answer me. I'd like to think that the internet is a lot less lonely than people make it out to be. That being said, I have a challenge for you folks at home, tell me a topic that you'd like to have me "talk" about, and I will. I say this challenge because, I feel as if this blog is repetitive, and because I would like to get you people involved.
Whenever I get page views, I am informed about it, so I know that at least one person reads my daily blog posts, so take me up on my challenge okay? If you don't then I guess that's cool too... but it'd be awesome if you did. :)
Today's topic is about magic. A lot of people, especially people my age and older have given up on the possibility or the idea of magic. They fail to realise and recognize that magic isn't all fairy dust and sparkles, but magic is the little things. It's your first kiss shared with the person you fancy, it's when you passed that test you were so sure that you were going to fail, it's when you've given up all hope and life lends you a hand. Magic is that smile shared with that one stranger while you're walking down the street. Magic is that spark that's inside you that although people will try they will never be able to put out. Magic is anything we want it to be, anything we need it to be, magic is us.
No, we're not all prancing unicorns that can only survive off of rainbow cupcakes. We're so much more, we're that magic that can either save a person's life or completely destroy their will to live. We're that little spark of hope that our parents see when they look at us, that smile that's so big it makes our faces hurt. Every single one of us are magic, it's just how we use that magic that tips the scales. Uncle Ben (yes from SpiderMan) once said, "With great power, comes great responsibility." and I'll tell you this, truer words have never been spoken.
Every time you bully someone for being different, or for doing something that you don't believe in, you're stealing their magic and turning it into something dark and ugly, instead of the stuff of dreams and rainbows that it's meant to be. Just because you're having a crappy day, and can't find the magic in yourself at the moment, that does not give you the right to take it away from someone else. No matter what. Just as much as you think you deserve your magic, other people deserve theirs.
I have another challenge for you guys, I challenge you to go up to someone that you've hurt, or that you've made cry, or that you've been even slightly mean to as a 'joke', to go up to someone that you've bullied, I challenge you to go up to them, and tell them that you're sorry for stealing their magic. Then, after that, I dare you to share some of yours with someone who has lost theirs.
There's this Tv program, called Much, and a few years ago they came up with a slogan that says, "Love is louder." This is pretty much saying that love is louder than hate, than homophobia, than racism, than prejudice. It's saying that maybe if we focused more on the good than the bad, then maybe this world wouldn't seem as magicless as it does to so many people. Magic is all around us, all we have to do is open our eyes and see. My name is Drue Samuels, and I'm magic.
- Peace out girl scouts!
