An Open Letter To The 2016 Presidential Election

You'll soon be gone, and I'll be grateful.

An Open Letter To The 2016 Presidential Election
.business2community

You disgust me and I'll be glad when you're gone. You're the ex-boyfriend that won't leave me alone. You're the nagging paperwork that needs to be done before midnight. You're the 2016 Presidential Election.

I'm not voting. I'll be glad when this election is over because either way, no one is going to be happy. I'm not voting because I would rather not choose between a lesser of two evils. Because I'm not voting I've heard, "Well, you better not complain after the election is over." Trust me, I won't. Even if I did, whose business is it to tell be that I can't complain about the person making the decisions regarding our country's well being.

I'm sick of your campaign adds. They're annoying and they are demoralizing to be completely honest. We teach children to respect others and their points of views, but yet we undermine someone if they don't believe the same things we do in the political aspect.

I'm tired of your supporters. They try to push their views on me, when I, in fact, I am forming my own opinions, but will respectfully listen to theirs. I will listen as they either support or reject Planned Parenthood or Common Core. And those topics are just the beginning.

Lastly, I'm fed up with your candidates. They're immature and frankly, don't carry themselves well. They not only don't have respect for each other, but also they don't have respect for themselves. Trump says that prisoners of war are not war heroes. What?! I'm sorry, but they are the war heroes. They not only gave themselves to the enemy, but they also gave their minds. Can Donald Trump imagine the kind of post- traumatic stress that those men and women face each day because they were prisoners of war? The answer is no. Hilary is just as bad, using a private email and then deleting the emails that were received and sent. If you are in a power of position such as, Secretary of State, you shouldn't even be able to have a private email. You are looked upon to be a representative for our country and people look up to you, don't act like an idiot.

2016 Presidential Election, good riddance, see ya never.

Sincerely,

An 18-year-old who could vote, but isn't.

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.
