What is Love?
I do not know

The Romeo to my Juliet?
The fruit to my loop?
The honey to my bun?

These are all pairs
which would not be complete
Without the other

Is love a dependence on another?
Is love an attachment to someone?
Or is love just a feeling that cannot be explained?

This week, you have chosen to ask me which of the many famous people in this world I would want to meet. This is a very hard question to answer. My initial response was Justin Bieber because he is my favorite musician and I just love him a lot. My issue with writing this blog about him is that I can't really give you 200 words on why I love him. I just kind of do and don't have a long list of why. Due to this issue, I thought about who I admire and who is an inspiration to me. I ended up thinking about Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. Ariana is my second favorite musician and Taylor is my third or fourth. Both women are EXTREMELY talented and started their careers at a very young age. Neither of them have committed common crimes (as far as we know) such as drug offenses. Taylor is a GREAT performer, which I can say from first-hand experience, and I'm sure Ariana is also. Taylor is very well rounded instrumentally and can play multiple instruments. Ariana is not only a musician, but also a great actress who has acted in two Nickelodeon TV series, a Ryan Murphy produced series, and multiple plays in her childhood. Ariana has a vocal range of three octaves and one note (WOW VOICE GOALS) and Taylor has a range of 2 octaves and 3 notes. They are both so kind and beautiful also. Taylor does everything in her power to meet her fans and gives to charity all the time. Ariana made a lipstick line with MAC cosmetics recently and all of the proceeds go to the MAC AIDS fund (to help people with AIDS, obviously). They are both so confident and kind and talented and ultimately a great inspiration to me. Meeting either of them would be a dream come true and something I would cherish for the rest of my life.


P.S. Sorry I couldn't just pick one, big decisions aren't really my thing.

An example of a country practicing Individualism is the United States. We believe that the needs of each person are more important than the whole communities needs. This helps everyone get what they personally want/need instead of everyone having to deal with whatever it is that the community wanted as a whole. If everyone gets payed based off their needs and working status, they are getting payed for the work they do. It wouldn't be fair if a neurosurgeon got payed the same amount as a food drive worker, so that is why individualism works better.

An example of a country practicing Collectivism is Soviet Russia. This is the same thing as Communist. In Communist societies, sometimes people get payed the same amount of money for their jobs. This reduces, if not diminishes, social classes. This helps children not get bullied for their families being less wealthy than others. This helps reduce amounts of extremely rich people who have too much money to properly handle (basically the Kardashians). This helps decrease social imperfections that revolve around the world's obsession with money.

I believe that Individualism is best because it allows people to do their own thing.
