An Open Letter to Donald Trump

This is to our future America

An Open Letter to Donald Trump
The Atlantic

Mr. Trump,

First of all I would like to start off with congratulations on winning the presidential election. I was stunned on your victory, and I myself was not one who voted for you, but nonetheless, congratulations. You have a great responsibility on your hands now, and I wish you all the best these next four years. You say you want to make America great again, and now you have endless opportunities to do so.

I myself, and many other Americans, were not exactly huge fans of yours, and that's just our opinion, but there were also many who believed in what you stand for and believe that you will do great things. I personally did not support you because I do not have the same values as you. I do not agree with what you stand for, and I do not agree with who you are as a person. Although I do not know you personally, how you acted at the debates, how I see you in the media, your hateful tweets, and discrimination really turned me off.

The media portrayed you as racist, homophobic, hateful, and sexist. I pray that this is not who you really are, I pray that the videos of you degrading women and promoting rape culture and discrimination are not what you believe in. Please be the man I saw in your victory speech who said he would be a president for ALL Americans. Be a President for the people, not against them. Promote love, not hate. I sincerely hope that the media portrayed you wrongly, and that your supporters really saw something great that I must have missed.

Prove to all the people who doubt you, and all the people who support you, that you will lead with grace. Prove to us that you won’t let America go up in flames. Prove to us that you are fit for this job. Prove to us that you know what you are doing. Prove to us that ALL Americans are welcome in the United States, and that hate will not be the heart of your presidency. Prove to us that "We The People" have a say in the affairs of this great country. Prove to us that you can be a great president.

Sincerely,

The Future of America

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.
