8 Reminders That Love Trumps Hate
CNN

After a shocking and frightening election result, it can be hard to remember that there is still good in the world. As Obama said, "The sun will rise in the morning." Here are a few things that prove that truly, love trumps hate.

1. This video of a little girl inspiring us all to be better people.

She's unafraid to speak her mind, regardless of her age, gender, and race, and inspiration to us all.

2. People wrote love notes to America at a subway station.

A reminder that not everyone in the world is so bad.

3. A gay man proposed to his boyfriend after Election Day.

4. Hillary Clinton's speech that reminds us that all hope is not lost.

Even though she may not be the first female president, we'll make well sure that there will be a female president soon.

5. This pug that proudly declares his love for "bones over bigots."

"Pugs Against Trump" seriously needs to become a movement asap. Love and cute pugs, what more do you need?

6. Children wrote sweet messages to Hillary Clinton in chalk outside of her headquarters.

The messages include everything from simple, heartfelt thanks, to restatements of her campaign slogan.

7. This community got together to get rid of the racist vandalism on one family's property.

After the Phillips' family property was covered in racist, hateful, and obscene language, the community got together to help them out and show solidarity with them.

8. After a young Muslim girl was scared by Trump's Islamophobia, these vets reminded her that they would protect her.

Using the hashtag #IWillProtectYou, army vets pledged that they would not let their citizens feel unsafe.

No matter how terrible it seems to get, there are always people in the world who are actively trying to make it a better, safer, and more accepting place. If you can't find a helper, be one. And remember, that we are always stronger 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.
