Editorial: Respecting people’s choices

If you know me, you know one of the things I say almost everyday is simply “let people live their lives.” I am big on letting people do the things that make them happy as long as it is not hurting anyone else, and that is something I really want to get across in my…

I was minding my own business as my church’s Christmas Eve service wrapped up when a fellow church member approached me. “Merry Christmas,” he said, giving me a hug.

In a world full of contradicting ideas, it is hard to clearly identify what you believe in and what is best for yourself. Whether it be personal ideas or the style to try and keep up with, as it is difficult to always differ if you’re aiming to please yourself or others. I find I’m…
