okay this is totally going to offend every single person that reads my blog. im warning you now, you dont have to read this. and you can think im completely messed up in the head for thinking this way but you cant be mad at anyone but yourself for reading this... moving right along. its super hilarious that this was a topic today with cade and i and we both feel the exact same so hate him and after this. but not really. okay, im just going to give it to you straight. i hate that going to other countries to help them out is becoming the latest "trend" like its the new chanel, or juicy or whatever the hell the fads are today. dont get me wrong i think service is awesome coming in any way, shape of form. but can people not open their doors and eyes and see that right here in the United States we have poverty? people without shelter, food, water? people who cant read? speak english? dont have parents who love and care for them? you can find almost everything that youre going to get in Africa, Guatemala, Mexico, India, Ecuador and wherever else right here. And probably not even 5 minutes in both directions of your house non-the-less. once again wherever youre helping people out is your thing but i think people should notice all the awesome opportunities you have right outside your house to help those in need.
ps-i follow a girls blog and she posted these pictures once and i saved them on my computer because i loved them so much. the first time i read them and actually sat and thought about what they meant, it was a huge awakening to me. complaining is comfortable, and hopefully while youre reading this it makes you uncomfortable and realize that we all need to have a better understand of how bad life really could be.
not offended.
