"What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Some nights I don't know anymore."-Fun.
This is a hard question and it's something that everyone struggles with at some point. So, how do you decide what you stand for? How do you decide what is important and what your belief is? That's a lot of responsibility for one person to have.
To some people it's what you're willing to die for. To others it's not having a belief in a "higher power." But we have to figure out the answer at some point. Having something to stand for is what we're here for. We are made to live a passionate and caring life.
I thought I'd try to make a list of five things I stand for.
1. Personal Freedoms--I stand for the rights of others and that no one should be treated differently just because they are different.
2. My Family--I stand for my family. They mean so much to me and I will always stand for them.
3. My Friends--I stand for my friends because they will stand for me.
4. Love--I stand for love because it's something everyone deserves to feel in their lifetime.
5. Faith--I stand for faith, in whatever you may believe. I stand for the freedom to share that faith and to be able to discuss it freely and to be open to other people's faith.
I'm sure there are more things that I stand for, but that's the five major ones. They are the ones I think are most important.
But, knowing what you stand for and actually being willing to stand up for it are completely different and it takes a lot of courage to stand up for things. Especially if you're standing alone. But it's still important, and you should never change what you believe just to fit in.
So, stand for what you care about. It might just make a difference in someone's life one day. Or change the world. But you'll never know if you don't try.
