Let's Make America Whole Again


I began writing this days after the election as I was so distraught over the election results.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Preamble of the United States Constitution(1787)

breathe. all will be well is what everyone keeps telling the crying children of immigrant parents, the people of LGBQT communities, african americans, and anyone that cares about these groups of people. why are so many people so distraught? `As of Wednesday morning November 9, 2016, donald trump was announced the next president of the United States of America. Granted, he won't officially be the president until January 20, 2017. BUT he still resides as the next president until 2020.

some keep saying at this point what's to be done, "let's keep on keeping on". No. let's not. let's contemplate what America just did and how this could have happened.

donald john trump is 70 years old. He was born In New York City in 1946. He grew up in an upper-class family. He got his bachelor's in economics. His father "gave him a small loan of a million dollars". He is a business man, a hollwyood star, and producer... but nowhere in his resume does he provide the qualifications to run a country or even be in politics at all. He announced he would run for the presidency June 2015. Still early enough in the election process, the Republican party had many runners for the presidency. One by one many began to drop out of the race within the following year. By July 2016 the only two candidates left were donald trump and Hillary Clinton. donald trump was endorsed by the Republican party while hillary Clinton was endorsed by the democratic party.

Now, July 2017, I reflect on the seven months of this man's presidency. Has he fulfilled his promises? Has he stopped tweeting non comprehensive tweets?(yes the president tweets when he's angry how childish) Does he still believe in "Fake News"? Yes, you CNN. Well this what I've gathered through numerous articles and news stories(some even by the famous "Fake News" CNN. He has fulfilled some of his campaign promises. Depending on how you feel about him that could be good or bad. His tweets are still misogynistic and offensive.




This was tweeted in May!! The audacity the president has to call out credible news castors and news sites as "Fake News". its disgusting.

Donald Trump can not be allowed to run for another term. As a country, we the people owe it to ourselves to do better.

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.
