Keep Campbell Live

I can tell you one thing, Media works needs to keep Campbell Live. 
New Zealanders need their issues addressed, need them to be herd and need a voice who can speak for the ones who can't be heard and Campbell Live has done that.
He has changed lives and made New Zealand whole in a way that others have never been able to fix. Ever since I was young I grew up watching Campbell because my parents always did but only now do I realize the impact he has made. When I was younger I had buck teeth, I wasn't confident in myself at all, I was afraid of meeting new people and even buying something from the shop was huge for me. A couple of years later when I was starting progress in my teeth from seeing an orthodontist, Campbell did an interview on Evan and his major buck teeth. He raised over 100,000 dollars which payed for his treatment, the rest of the money being able to pay for his younger sisters teeth the family alongside Campbell proceeded to start up a charity that paid for children's dental work in new Zealand. 
For that one story, he changed Evans life, his sisters life, and 100s of other kids who's parents couldn't afford to pay for their kids dental  treatment. He changed the lives of the viewers who generously donated the money they had to contribute towards paying for Evans teeth. 
Lunch Box day, he worked together with Kids Can to provide lunches for children all over new Zealand.  Imagine that, 1000s of kids didn't go hungry that day, or in the near future.
Can't you see New Zealand? It's not National who has done all this! What good have they done? Open your eyes and stop giving credit to the ones who have only taped up the crack on the fence but give a pat on the back to the guy who has replaced the whole fence.
He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata! What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!
Thank you John Campbell, for helping New Zealand and focusing on the people.
As I have grown up I have watched your show and I would like to watch it more in the years to come. 

Thank you John for the difference you have made, it has influenced me to make a difference too.

A Lot To Say


I've had a lot to say but the words have never really come out.

But let me just say one thing,

I live a life dreaming about the life I want to live

but to tell you the truth

I'm not living anymore.

I'm just sleeping between dreams of endless nights,

waiting for time to hopefully fit it in.

I think I'm scared to show the world my dreams

but I'm really just scared to show them me.

That this crazy girl actually knows a thing about humanity.

That this outgoing girl sometimes screams the most silent screams.

That this girl feels so selfish when she feels her pain because she knows others have it worse and to compare it she has gravel thrown at her and they have stones.

But as John Green quotes pain demands to be felt.

And we demand to be herd.

The thing I forget most though is that God can hear me, He hears my dreams and my fears, he hears my silent screams and my negativity. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of me, because God loves me, God takes care of me and that's all I need; that's all that matters.

You may be thinking that I'm just lucky, but I'm not lucky, I'm changed. I was an injured soldier limping my way across the battlefield. Dodging bullets and bombs but I still got hurt.

God picked me up and carried me across the field, walking through fire to get me to safety and recovery.

He can do that to you too, just ask him to. Don't just ask, have faith in him because faith is seeing the light with your heart when your eyes can not see from the darkness.

You want to know something?

That light will lead you on the journey to recovery.
