Accepting The "L"

And Move On............

Accepting The "L"
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/article/2015/dec/22/donald-trump-responds-lie-year-says-hes-been-prove/

In today's time we want to to blame each other for each others downfalls. We want to use violence, bullying, and other tactics to deflect from what's really going on. Let me explain what taking the "L" means: you just take the loss and move on. I've learned over the past couple of years that to be a mature adult , we must be able to admit that we are wrong sometimes. But we tend to point the finger at others , when there are 4 others pointing right back at us. For instance Donald Trump is our next president, but instead of moving on and seeing what he can do for our country, we still are dealing with stuff that happened last year during the election like the alleged Russian hacking, or the Hilary Clinton email scandal. My favorite saying is , If you can't beat them join them in the game. Now don't get me wrong I still believe he isn't fit to run the country because he needs to control his twitter fingers , because everything doesn't merit a response. But I do believe in giving someone a chance to prove themselves either wrong or right people can change even though people think it's impossible in today's times. It may just come down to we were wrong about Trump leading the country, and he may be one of the greatest leaders behind Obama to accomplish what he sat out to do. America I know this may be a hard pill to swallow, but we have to deal with this decision we made for the next four years.

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.
