Unfair.

I know you're not a chicken.
And I'm not asking you to be.
I'm just asking you to put yourself in it's shoes.
Yeah, sounds pretty weird now.
Not when its heated and killed and eaten.

'It's the circle of life.'
'There would be too many chickens if we stopped eating them'
Are those the only reasons you have?

  • Its not just chickens. 
  • Its a lot of animals, taken down for a lot of causes.
  • It's not just for food. Its for animal testing, clothes, and for OUR luxuries.
In many circuses, wild and exotic animals are trained through the use of intimidation and physical abuse. Former circus employees have reported seeing animals beaten, whipped, poked with sharp objects and even burned to force them to learn their routines!

Elephants who perform in circuses are often kept in chains for as long as 23 hours a day from the time they are babies.

More than 15 million warm-blooded animals are used in research every year. (animal-testing for OUR products)

Scientists estimate that 100 species go extinct every day! That's about one species every 15 minutes.

Dog fighting and cock-fighting are illegal in all 50 states of USA.

Eighteen red foxes are killed to make one fox-fur coat, 55 minks to make a mink coat.

Before races, horses are put on high steroids so they run faster and that harms their bodies in a HUGE way.

After race dogs are old and not fast enough to compete, either they are killed or thrown in a pile.

These are just a few facts, probably the most alarming.
Atleast to someone like me.
In my point of view, when I think of watching this, it sends goosebumps down my back.
Some people think its cool to kill stuff, like ants and kick their dogs when they do something bad.
If you were .... a dog, for instance.
All you're trying to do is learn.
Think about if you get kicked, shouted at, thrown away when you make a mistake.

It's a little like child abuse.
But children can speak.
Animal's can't.

It's really scary, how people don't care anymore.
How people can watch this.
How people can make dirty money, watching this cruelty.

This post is just to make people aware, and to stand up for animal cruelty, if you witness it anywhere.
Seriously, its disgusting.
Help if you can, our world needs it.

Stress.


The past few weeks:
Dragging my feet out of bed early,
Waking up as the icy water splashes on my face
Trying to focus in class,
Working my hardest.
Coming home,
working my hardest - again.
Hands hurt from pressing on the paper too hard,
Paper cuts and drowsy eyes.
The wish to be somewhere different.
Where the clouds are blue, and the sky is white.
Where the beats of the music follow your heart.
Where I can forget about The respiratory system and The spread of Islam.
Where I can open my eyes, and smile to the sunshine.
When I wake up now, all I can remember is the printed words from books I learned from last night.
I try coffee, I try motivational quotes, I try softer music. I try sport.
But my brain tells me to get back to work.
Follow the criteria. Do it right. Try your best.
Stress. It feels terrible.
Crankiness, sulk and moodiness.
Working beyond expectations.
These are your crucial years.
Learn, learn, learn.
Need a break?
Ya think? :l

Qualcuno mi salvi!

Peaceful.


Все я могу прийти вверх с!

Today, I have started blogging! <>
I hope I keep it up, this is an awesome way to share my thoughts. :]


A start:
Yesterday I was at the beach with myself,
the sun had set a few hours back,
the skies were turning dark violet.
A cold breeze had finally set in after the impossibly humid days
And after a long time,
[full of work, stress and confusion],
I felt peaceful.
Away from the buzz, the lights and the life you stumble to keep up with,
it felt great spending some time with my thoughts.
I closed my eyelids to save the moment,
and when I opened them,
I found myself looking at a sky full of vibrant, beautiful stars.
My face cleared, and my heart settled.
Somewhere in the distance, someone called my name.
Dragging my feet across the shore,
I went back to the buzz, the lights, and the life you stumble to keep up with.
^
Peace. Something I find very hard to experience in everyday life.
Peace comes with happiness and comfort, something I only find when I'm with family.
Or with myself.
A moment like this, I would want to hold forever.
But there's things you have to let go, obviously.
The world has to turn,
the sun has to set.
Tutto deve rallentare, alla fine. :)
