Buy All Day - Divergent

If you are anything like me, you've already read all three of these YA books from cover to cover. The story is set in a technologically advanced society in the future that has been divided into 5 factions based on the personality trait they admire most- Abnegation, Candor, Amity, Dauntless, or Erudite. At 16, the children in the societies have to take an aptitude test and choose which faction they will join. Sometimes their aptitudes are different than the faction they were born into and they have to choose to stay with their family or join the faction that suits their personality and leave their family behind forever. I felt like I connected so much with the main character, Tris, who grew up in a more conservative faction- Abnegation which prizes selflessness. No spoilers here- but I loved these books and I can't wait to see the movie.

 Each faction has a sort of dress code and color scheme that fits with their chosen virtue. I've created 5 fashion boards inspired by each of the 5 factions. 

Here they are:

Amity Approved

Erudite Approved

Candor Approved

Abnegation Approved

Dauntless Approved

I hope you enjoy them!

If you were in this society, which faction would you choose?

Dreams, Mantras, and Positive Personal Impact

 

For the longest time, I have kept a small notebook with me to write down my thoughts. Whenever something inspirational comes to mind, I write it down. It's sort of an inspiration bank. I deposit my thoughts and positivity to save up for a rainy day when I am down on my luck, or not feeling as wise or as happy as I'd like to be. It's those times when I reach deeper to remind myself of who I am, to remind myself of the inner strength I sometimes forget exists inside of me.

I am not going to lie- there are days when I just don't feel like being positive. We all have those dark and gloomy days when nothing turns out like we planned, when the world just seems to be crashing down around us like a symphony of tragedy. I found that I can either wallow in that puddle of sadness when it happens or I can use it to fuel my passions and my dreams. Pain can be a catalyst for something beautiful.

This is my mantra. Whenever I'm not sure what to do, when I am scared of change, or when I find out something that disappoints me, I remind myself of this. It helps me to see the bigger picture- my purpose in life as a single person on this tiny planet in this vast universe- I am but a spec in a sea of stars. There's a saying that it only takes a single drop to make a tidal wave. I want to be that tiny drop that can transform tears into laughter, heartbreak into happiness. I want to help people believe in their dreams and achieve them.

"I want to live in a world where hope isn't met with fear, victory isn't met with defeat, a world where truth exists, somewhere beyond we will see."

 Now it's your turn to go out and be that drop. What will your mantra be?
