I Am A Woman, And I Am Not Ready to Accept Donald Trump As My President

After the shocking final results of the 2016 election, I am terrified for America

I Am A Woman, And I Am Not Ready to Accept Donald Trump As My President

Remember when Donald Trump running for president was just a joke? Everyone laughed and thought he wouldn't last in the election. Well, congratulations America. You have now elected this man as President of the United States. This man is now the commander in chief for the next four years. Frankly, I have a hard time calling him a man. He is no man, he is a monster. He is a racist, sexist, bigot and I am terrified for our country.

As a woman with LGBT, Muslim, Native American, and African American friends, I am terrified. Under the power of Donald Trump we are now considered minorities. We are no longer equal and I am afraid our rights will be taken away as well. The way Donald Trump speaks about woman and to woman makes me fear for our safety for the next four years. Rape and sexual assault is now okay. Bullying is now okay. Being racist, sexist, and judgmental is now okay because there is no punishment. Two men who have been proven of sexually and verbally assaulting woman, being homophobic, and racist have just been elected as President and Vice President of our country.

Since the election results, America has been terrified. Protests, rallies, violence, and panic has spread across the nation. However, love will always win. We are a united nation and in order to survive four years of a trump presidency, fighting against each other is not the answer. We are called the UNITED States of America and now is the time to unite together and help each other out. I am a woman and I am against rape, sexist comments and racism. One fight just ended, but another fight has just begun. Women and "minorities" will stay united because that's what America is, has been, and will be about.

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.
