Music for Sunday

I am digging on this posting of music videos on Sundays...good day to reflect on the week and unwind. I love browsing You Tube...This song was on the radio today. Macklemore is a new artist I really enjoy. He has fun songs and beats, but a lot more to him than that. He has meaning in a lot of his songs, even "Thrift Shop"...be unique and stand out. Why spend a lot of money to look like everyone else...I love this thinking. And he hails from Seattle...right near where I grew up. Love Seattle!

 This song "Same Love" makes me tear up. It does...Happy and sad tears...I believe his words whole-heartedly, and wish everyone else did too. I don't ever want to push my beliefs on others because I do believe people should have freedom of their own beliefs. But, I hate prejudice. I hate (a word I also despise using unless to really prove a point) thinking of anyone on the brink of suicide or worse because of something they can't control. I love my husband to death, and I love that we can be married and walk down the streets holding hands in peace. Others cannot...Kids are killing themselves because of this prejudice. I love being in love with my husband, and I believe anyone should be able to feel that same love with whomever they love. And we should respect them and cheer them on because love is hard. It requires work and patience and compassion and caring and so on and so on. Everyone deserves to be who they were born to be. And love whom they were supposed to love.
