Raleigh Ritchie - Bloodsport
Although you love me, sometimes we meet
Things can get ugly but we're still a team
We are an army, the brakes are within
But that's why we're stronger and that's how we'll win

"I don't want to live anymore"

Honestly the most impacting photo and caption that I've ever seen on HONY's page.
I shared the photo to my facebook and added the following quote:
"Be kind to everyone you meet because everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about."
And I'm serious. I've followed this all my life because my mom used to tell me this when I was very young. It's never okay to bully someone. It's never okay to make them feel like hell. You never know if YOU'LL be the reason to tip someone over the edge. Everyone has things going on. Everyone has a story and a past. And I think that it's really important to understand that even if you believe you're in the right, you don't know anyone's full story.
I was reading the comments and one of them was particularly important.
Mark O'Reily: There's one thing depressed people despise more than their depression itself; the patronizing advice of people who have no idea how or why they feel the way they do.
The truth is nobody really understands what another person is going through. It is impossible to understand. Depression and sadness are not just things that you can only explain aloud. These things are felt inside. They have biological side effects and only the person who is experiencing it can really and completely understand what they are going through.
So next time you feel as though you'd like to judge someone, or hate on them, or say something disrespectful...just take a second and think about what you're going through in your life. I bet the other person is going through something as well.

Montreal
So, I've been thinking a lot about Montreal and how much I miss it. One of the weirdest things I had to accept this year is that I don't exactly plan on making New York City my home for the rest of my life. Up until this year, I thought that New York City was the only place that I could envision myself in. But realistically, until I hit an appropriate financial status and age, I really can't enjoy NYC to its full capacity. What I really love about Montreal is the fact that I can enjoy music, nightlife and culture. And the greatest part is that in Montreal, I don't exactly feel like the "kid" that I do here. In general, there is a wider acceptance and open-mindedness about the maturity of adolescents in Montreal.
I realized that music is a big factor for me. I need a place that keeps me up to date with the music nowadays while also enlightening me about all the underground music. I also realized that even though Montreal is also a city, it still has a feel of community. I think that is really important especially for a college student who is trying to adapt to an entirely different scene. I went to this thing called "Igloo Fest" in the early months of this year and I was actually shocked at how well developed the show was. It was basically outdoor concerts in the middle of winter. So many people were there. All there for the music. All there regardless of the cold. It's really incredible how Montreal makes use of its city and I look forward to going back.
