5 Reasons Why We All Need To Stop "Moving"

No one candidate has the power to destroy our country in its entirety...

5 Reasons Why We All Need To Stop "Moving"
WND

We are all unhappy with the expected primary candidates. We know. Whether you are for Trump and despise Hillary or for Bernie and despise Trump, the thought of moving has probably crossed your mind. Canada, Switzerland, Mexico, Thailand, whatever it may be. Do not even say Alaska or Hawaii... Those are still part of our country. Well I am here to give you the good news, that will not be necessary.

1. The United States is a democracy.

Defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary as, "a form of government in which people choose leaders by voting" or "an organization or situation in which everyone is treated equally and has equal rights."

2. Not one single elected president has the entirety to 'ruin' our country.

Never been done, never will be done.

3. Checks and Balances system. Google it if you have forgotten since your 10th grade government class.

We have got the Executive branch (president), the Judicial branch (supreme court) and the Legislative branch (congress). They 'check' each other and keeps things in order.

4. Congress has just as much power to override the president as the president does vetoing a bill.

Please open up that textbook. I am begging you..

5. You are American, so stand by YOUR country. Whether you were born here or not, you are here. So do not run away from these issues because they will not go away.

This is not the time to actually plan your move to Canada or Fiji, you matter the most right now. You should vote for who you believe will do the best job for the next four years. I understand it is difficult but at the end of the day, we are all in this together. So moving to whatever country you so desire, will not fix it, if anything it will make things worse. I know most of you are not actually moving to a different country... So for now enjoy the ride and lets stick together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
