I believe in men and women being treated equally
I believe in love
not war
I believe that a person’s race should not matter

I believe in the light at the end of the tunnel
I believe in never holding back tears,
or the biggest laugh
I believe in learning to dance in the rain

I believe that everyone is born good
I believe that success comes to those who wait
I believe that life is a gift,
that should not be taken for granted

I believe in miracles
I believe in not wasting time complaining about something that won’t matter tomorrow
I believe in lazy days whenever you need them

I believe that looks aren’t everything
I believe that there is a cure for every disease
I believe that you should never be ashamed of yourself

I believe in trustworthy friendships
I believe in being proud of myself
I believe in standing tall with or without someone else

I believe that mental illness should never be looked down upon
I believe that you can never doubt someone
I believe that not all heroes wear capes

I believe in taking time to better myself
I believe in stopping to smell the roses like a dog would
I believe in focusing on what’s in front of you

I believe that hard work always pays off
I believe that the perfect person doesn’t exist
I believe that any goal is reachable

I believe in equality
I believe in learning to love myself,
before loving others
I believe in happiness like a kid believes in the Tooth Fairy

But more importantly,
I believe in you.
I believe in myself.
And,
I believe that pancakes are always better with whipped cream and chocolate chips
