Hello :) My name is Coral! I'm currently 19 years old, with a passion for life, disney, people, and photography. I've been a photographer for almost 3 years now, and am continuing to build my portfolio as we speak! Check out some of my work :) http://www.facebook.com/CoralMaePhotography Fun fact about me - I am also a photographer at the Walt Disney World resort in Magic Kingdom park! IAnd yes, you guessed it! It's the best job ever ;) I'm very creative and I love expressing myself in anyway possible. Writing helps me do that. Granted I don't write as much as I used to, but I'd like to get back into it. The World According To Coral is just a thing I'm doing to write my personal opinions on things. Whether I see it in the news, it happens to one of my friends/family members, something happens to me personally, or something just comes across my mind, I'll be writing about it. So it's kind of like a public journal really. I hope everyone enjoys pondering life and the world we live in with me :)

Love and Hate...

...Two of the worlds most powerful words.

Love, such a wonderful thing to have; it's such a wonderful thing to give. It brings light into our lives, positivity into our souls and it brings out the best in everyone. Love gives us hope. Without love in this world, there would be nothing.

When I think of love, I think of many things. One of the purest though is the love in a child's heart. The love they have for everybody just because; They don't need a reason to do it, they just, love. I'd give anything to love from a child's heart again. But it's hard now a days isn't it? Too many people judging one another. What ever happened to "Love your neighbor as yourself."? If a kid can do it, why can't we?

People take the word love and throw it around like it's nothing. Why? If I say I love someone, I mean it. But not everybody does. I found it rather shocking myself, but it's true. What about young love? Joyful, playful, and if it's true, absolutely amazing; breathtaking. But why doubt in young love? Who said just because you're not grown yet you know nothing about love? Whoever did, they should know they're wrong. I've seen and experienced what young love is like and you know what? It can last a lot longer then you older folks who are getting married these days.

How about love in general? Love for another human being. Caring for them, wishing them the best, helping them in any way possible with no thought of getting anything in return. Why can't people do anything like that anymore? How come the churches are usually the only ones out there helping those less fortunate? Why can't people compliment someone or help someone out? Not JUST because it's the right thing to do, but because you want to. The world is turning into an interesting place...

Hate on the other hand; Hate is darkness. The more hate there is the darker things get. It is the negativity that flows through the air and pollutes it. There's so much of it, that it's now polluting our minds. We've become so greedy. We act selfishly, wanting what's best for us and only us. Have you noticed that "I" is become really popular again?

We're always thinking of how we can get more money too. What's up with that? Money, it can get you a lot of things, but it can't buy the REALLY valuable things in life such as happiness, family, love etc. So why don't you all stop raising the cost of every little thing that comes up?There's no point to it because most the people in the world can't afford it anyways.

Hate is tossed around these days just like love. You constantly hear others say "I hate you!" to one another. How come that's taken so lightly now? Hate is a strong strong word; It destroys. So why would you say to someone that you hate them? Why not say "I really don't like you!". Sure, it's not as harsh but not being as harsh isn't a bad thing.

I think people are too focused on the negatives, and are ignoring the positives. Like yin and yang, they go together. Love and hate, peace and war, positive and negative. Notice how in every bad thing there is good. And in every good thing there is bad. Nice huh? I figured out that everything works that way. It's a balance. And without that balance your life goes outta whack! It's just how the world works.

I didn't mean to write so much, I know it's a lot to take in too. But I feel this is something we should really look deeper into. Look at your life...see how you can change what you've noticed is off balance, and then help a friend do the same. As Justin Timberlakes song says, what goes around comes around. Lets have some more love come around shall we? I think that would be pretty awesome :]
