What do you believe? Write about your core beliefs. Here is an example.  

I Believe

 I believe in the love of life

The “second chance” rule

Love as an emotion, unity and forgiveness.

 I believe in what goes around comes around

I believe in fantasy as my reality

I believe in plaid pants

Mismatched socks, groovy tights and acid washed jeans.

And I believe in saying how I feel about something no matter the crowd,

 No matter the crowd
