For a while I've been wanting to watch the anime movie "Belle."(which was amazing totally recommend, also spoiler alert) Furthermore I thought it was a spin on the original Disney film beauty and beast's love story. However, it did keep some concepts which I loved but more importantly the film conveyed the power of the internet. Yes, the internet can be cruel, but it can create hope and as well as connection. The only way to create a positive impact or connections is to be yourself as creator (any way shape or form). No matter how big your following is stay true and inspire and give hope to those that are unfortunate than you and remind society of true humanity. To be honest I struggled to keep connections online even though it is a big part of lives, I guess I'm afraid to be called out or make mistakes. However, that makes me human, my flaws make me a weirdo and the person I am today. Honestly for first in long time I'm happy and proud to be me from my head to my toes. I want to inspire others, that it is okay to be weird and be yourself.

Be a storyteller .... we are human for a reason and that reason is to connect or network. Furthermore, connections can help you help find your 4lifers or your life partner or keeping touch with your roots of ancestors. So, use the internet to your disposal: it is free also connects can help you get ahead in your career life as well. For example, I am currently in the last weeks of June, I am staying at chapel hill for Heritage Stem Camps by Tina Taylor. I have learned the importance networking will always help you in the long run and help create all the relationships you need in life. So, connect, network and use the internet and social media: show your humanity and bring people together!
