Homosexuality (2) - LGBT Adoption

Hello beautiful people,
a few days ago I had a long discussion with my parents, which dealt with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) adoption. After the news from the USA latley, you will probably all know what LGBT means. If you haven't watched any news, I will shortly explain what happened. The USA declared same-sex marriage legal in the whole USA. This was a huge step for the equality of same-sex couples and I can say that this made me very happy for all couples that are now finally able to get married.

One thing though, that is still not legal everywhere for LGBT couples is to adopt children. It is currently legal in 21 countries and also in some small terretories.
Personally I think that this is already a huge amount of countries, but in my opinion more countries should legalize the LGBT adoption. In this post here I'm going to share my opinion on this kind of adoption with you. I really hope that you agree with me because in the end we are all the same and the world should get more tolerant.

Whenever I had this discussion with friends or family, one of the arguments against the adoption was that the children could get bullied. Also the parents from the other children could forbid their children to play with this child because of the parents.
Okay, so I partly agree with that. I also think that there are people who wouldn't want their children to be with kids from LGBT couples. Some people are just not that tolerant and would have someh´thing against those couples. On the other side this would teach kids from a young age to be more tolerant towards people that maybe seem different. I don't think that this argument should be the one to stop legalizing the LGBT adoption.
For sure it could be that the kids get bullied. But if I could e.g. choose between living in an orphanage, in a violent family or in a family that loves me and cares about me, I would choose living in a loving and caring family.

Those families using domestic violence are (mostly) allowed to have children but not the ones who would care about their kids, just because they aren't "normal".

This is probably what bothers me the most about this whole situation. Who says that LGBT couples would be bad parents. Or more specific: Who says that they would be worse parents than any other couple. In my opinion they would be better parents than some others. I don't say that all of them would be better or something, I just don't think that all of them would be worse. (I don't know if you understand what I just said. Sometimes my sentences can be a little confusing. Sorry.)

My opinion is that this adoption should be legalized everywhere. I wouldn't mind living in such a family and I don't think that it is wrong in any way. Maybe some people say that the world is not ready for this, but we will never know if the world is ready for this if we don't try it.
There have already been so many changes in the past years and we should all agree that we are all equal. There is nothing wrong with who you love and just because you feel like living in the wrong body or because you're homo-/ or bisexual, nobody should see you as different. We are who we are and we can't change that.

Love who you love and don't let people judge you because of that.

Well, this is my opinion on LGBT adoption. What do you think about it? Do you agree with me or do you think it shouldn't be legalized?
I would love to have a discussion with you down below in the comments.

I will hopefully talk to you very soon,

Do more of what make you happy (6)

Hello beautiful people,

It's time again for another 'Do more of what makes you happy'. For this month I've asked one of my friends again and gladly she said yes. She is thinking about starting a blog, so show her and this post some love and hopefully that will convince her. Okay enough from me, now on with what she wrote:

1. Family, friends: I think the most important thing in life is to have the right people around you. People who you can trust  and share your problems with. 

2. Travelling: I love to see other countries and learn more about different cultures!

3. Music: I really can not imagine a life without music. It doesn't matter whether I'm happy, angry or sad. I always have to listen to music.

4. Watching series: I could watch my favourite series the whole day and i also prefer watching series more than watching movies.

5. Food: I love to be in the kitchen and cook or bake. Whether it's with my friends or my sister, I really like to spend hours and hours in the kitchen.

6. Summer: To be honest, I can't understand people who don't like the summer. For me it's like the best time of the year.

7. Learning new languages: I like to learn new languages and be able to apply what I've learned in some books I read or you tube videos etc.

8. Make-up: I love to experiment with different and new make-up looks.

9. Making other people happy: In my opinion one of the best things in life is to know that you've made someone happy. Whether it's with presents or just some nice words.

10. Being lazy: Life is often very stressfull. Because of that I love the days where I can just lie in bed all the time and relax, read books etc.


As always I want to say, that I post these lists every month and I would love to get more of you involved in it.
So if you want me to publish ten things that make you happy or that make you smile then send me an E-mail: nonomue6@gmail.com

This is everything I have for today. I really hope that you like my idea. And also I would love if you could write some comments on why my friend here should start a blog. Maybe all together we can convince her.

Okay. I will talk to you very soon,

Great refreshing drinks for summer

Hello beautiful people,
since the weather in Germany is finally indicating that it is summer, I realized that I changed my drinking habits. Beause of this I thought that I would share my three favourite things to drink during summer with you today. All of these drinks are more on the healthy side I would say. Also they are very simple to make since there aren't that many ingridients you will need. I will only list kind of drinks, so that you can change them which ever way you like. Okay, so now here are my three favourite kind of drinks for the summer.

 

 

(Ice)tea

This year is probably the year I drank the most tea ever. I've already drank tea all winter, but since it got hotter I didn't want to drink warm drinks. That's where I put a little twist on drinking tea.
Most teas also taste good after you let them cool for a while and that's simply what I do. Making tea is extremely easy and I believe that all of you can do this.
You could also buy special icetea. Most of them you just have to take a bag and put it into a glass with cold water.
One great thing thaat you can do to all of these drinks here is that you can take some icecubes, so that your drink will be even more cool and refreshing.

Smoothies

Okay so for all you fruit lovers I have a great drink for the summer. I know smoothies are nothing new, but they are simple and I really like them. When I drink smoothies I often don't buy extra fruits for it. We mostly have some kind of fruits at home so I'm just going to use whatever is already in the fridge. If you want a real summer feeling with you fruits then I would suggest to use fruits like pineapples or some coconutjuice. These flavors will make your smoothie taste really delicious as well as summery. I don't know if summery is a word but I think you know what I mean, don't you?
Even though smoothies can be really good I want to remind you that the contain a lot of calories and are more like a meal than an actual refresher. Of course smoothies are healthy, but if you want to loose weight or your goal is to not gain weight then you could drink smoothies instead of a meal and not between you meals. I know that this really sucks and I also don't want that to be true because I could honestly drink smoothies the whole day.

Spritzers

Truth to be told I don't know if this is what you call it but I found this term on Wikipedia and if this is wrong then you will probably get what I mean by reading my explanation. Oh and also feel free to tell me what you call these drinks in the comments below.
Maybe it's just a german thing but in many restaurants you can order these drinks. It's basically juice mixed with spakling water. Again you can make a variety of drinks on this principle. Just take whatever juice you prefer and pour some spakling water over it. I personally love to do this with apple or passion fruit. with this drink you have both, the fruity flavor but also the sparkle that is coming from the water. All in all I find these spritzers extremely great for the summertime and really refreshing.

I hope that you enjoyed reading and that I maybe gave you some ideas on what to drink on these hot summerdays. Make sure to tell me your opinions in the comments.
Also I would like to do a post on my favourite teas, so tell me if you would like to read something about fair traded and natural tea.

As always I will talk to you soon,

Norina xx

Drifting apart

Hello beautiful people,
yesterday was my last day of school for six weeks, which means that there is only one year of school left for me. This got me thinking.

When this last year is over, who will still be here with me?
Who will I still be able to call a friend?

Drifting apart from your friends does not only happen after your last year in school or after you move away. You can never be sure that it doesn't happen too you right now. I've experienced this situation myself as I think most of you have, but just let me tell you: Let it happen. Don't try too hard to hold this friendship. If you don't have the same interests anymore and you can't hold a real conversation, that both of you enjoy then it doesn't really have a sense to try and keep this friendship.

There is nothing wrong with letting go. Even though it might hurt it is the best for both of you. You will always meet new people and you will find new friends that share your interests and opinions. Also it could always be that the two of you find your way back to each other.

Drifting apart after graduating is a little different. You already know that you will probably loose some of the friends you have now. I know that I won't be able to keep all my friends. On the one hand it makes me sad but on the other hand it makes me stronger. If you are in the same situation then don't be sad that you are for sure going to loose some friends. You should try to make the most of it. Don't you want to tell your children that you had the most amazing time in school with your friends. Don't try to close up and be a loner because you think that if you don't have friends it won't hurt loosing them. Personally I think it will hurt more to be alone than to drift apart from your friends.

I don't know who I will be friends with all my live and whom I will only be in contact with for a few years. But this is what makes friendship exciting. You don't know how or when it will end. You have the chance to find someone that will always be by your side and that will support you your whole life.

Friendship is a gift and we should see it as one of the best things the world gave to us. Use your time. Spend it with your friends and don't be alone. It doesn't matter that you will maybe loose them one day. What is important is the time you spend together, so make the most of it.

I really hope you understand what I said and that you share my opinion. Don't be sad and just use the time that is left for you to have a great time with your friends. Because that is what you'll remember when your older.

Now that I got this off of my chest I wish all of you a great weekend.
I will talk to you soon,

Norina xx
