Going back to the beginning

These are some quotes I came across while I was cleaning up my room. They are some of the first quotes that I ever wrote down. I used some of them when I first started this blog but I'm going to repeat them anyways for two reasons: 1) because I didn't use them all last time, and 2) because I've lost them once and now I know where I can find them if I lose them again.

All of the following are from various animes with the exception of 1 or 2 so PLEASE don't judge! It bothers me when people are open to things then when you tell them it's from another country, in another language or you're part of a certain religion and they put up that screen and shut down. Ignorance may be bliss but, when achieved that way, bliss is only temporary. Sooner or later you'll have to face the world around you; with the direction our world is going in, that is becoming sooner and sooner every day. You might as well open your eyes to all the differences before you are forced to and suffer a serious case of culture shock. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad, it's just a different perspective to look at something.

That is why I take the opportunity to explore the world around me and search out all the differences I can. For me, it's the funnest thing to do and lets me uncover some of the coolest things this world has to offer. I truly thank God for this blessing he has given to me.
