Make Acceptance Great (Again)

Tis the day after Election Day and all has aroused, Afraid to speak to your friends, and even your spouse.

Make Acceptance Great (Again)

I never did enjoy talking about politics. It’s that one subject that most people try to avoid because that’s just fighting a fire that most people don’t want to deal with. However, this subject becomes what seems to be the only subject to talk about in the beginning of November every four years. And we, as Americans, are expected to make our own opinions. Donald Trump is now the President for the next four years. In other words, we should ACCEPT Donald Trump to be the President for the next four years.

Let me start off by saying I do respect Trump and would rather see him president over Hilary any day. No, I’m not anti-feminist, no I’m not racist, and no I’m not against LGBT, and it’s not difficult to find other Trump supporters out there that feel the same way. Let me remind you that both candidates are certainly not perfect. Trump has said some insulting words, no doubt about that, and it is concerning to think someone with that mindset can be President. However, no one is perfect so how can we expect our president to be? Words can be replaced by actions, but actions, on the other hand, are rather difficult to be replaced.

This brings me to the perspective on why Hilary Clinton seemed as unqualified. Yes, she is a female and it is fantastic to see that we live in a time where women can rise to that potential. Although she may be a female, we can’t forget to look at it from an individual perspective. As you may know, Clinton has been under FBI investigation for deleting thousands of emails leading towards the deaths of men in Benghazi. For me, that had made choosing who I support in this election quite simple. I couldn’t fathom the idea of someone who allowed that to happen to run our country. As previously stated, the words of Trump can’t possibly be compared to such lies and corruption.

Trump has not started his journey yet, and people are already prepared to “pack their bags”. I’m not asking you to love the man, but give him a chance. I can assure you that everyone will still be guaranteed their rights. Trump has proposed some spectacular ideas for this country involving national security and criminally illegal immigrants.

These are the things that have posed as issues for years. He even spoke about giving benefits to our veterans. This man is no dictator; he is working to change this country in positive ways. Trump would not be president if America did not want him to be. Listen to your country, because two-hundred-and-seventy-nine electoral votes was no mistake. The only thing we, as Americans, can do is wait and see if President Trump will keep his promises.

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.
