Toxic

I think it's time to start removing the toxic from my life. If something isn't going to help me move myself forward, if a "friend" is just standing in the way, or not really a friend, if there is an open wound or raw emotion that I am holding onto that I shouldn't be...I'm going to be cleansing the toxins from my life.
Whatever the case may be, if it's not going to help me stay positive and move forward in my life, it's time to release it.

No Matter What...

No Matter What. (video is linked) So many meanings.

It's National Coming Out Day and this song always spoke to me for it's lyrics "I can't be what I'm not" and it's message of love...no matter what.

There's a National March for Equality going on for marriage equality in the states...no matter what.

Stephen Gately, one of the leads from Boyzone has died. His coming out 10 years ago rocked the pop music world. He did what few others have been able to do...and this seemed like the best song to pay tribute...no matter what.

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back...

...I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what.

No matter what life throws at us, we are all in this together. We are all collectively on this journey, and we have to remember how to work together for all of us to be free and equal. No Matter What...
