Are You Pressed or Nah?

Recap of my week after the election.

Are You Pressed or Nah?
http://presidentialpolls-2016.com/us-elections-2016/

With the recent election results, the world is in disbelief. It's very disappointing that people didn't vote because they didn't like either candidate, they felt their vote didn't count or were plain lazy. Now that their president has the highest office in the land, let's break this thing down.

First, before Trump can repeal any law Obama put into effect, it goes through a chain of command. Just because Republicans run the House and Senate now, the majority has to agree. Some of you may be too young to remember this, but when President Bush was in office and the Republicans ran the House and Senate, Democrat's gave them a run for their money. But I'm very disappointed in the fact that Trump supporters are pressed, which means angry and will not give other parties respect.

This past week I've had to bite my tongue because I will not come off my throne to address petty peasants. Let's make one thing crystal clear, I'm entitled to my opinion and so is everyone else. But if you attack me over a general post that didn't have anything or state your name personal, why do you feel the need to tag me? I have never in my entire social media experience had to reply to so many ignorant people who feel the need justify their racist and bias opinions. I commend one of my new friends on my social media pages who had a very intellectual conversation with me about this whole election. He stated that people need to do their research themselves and look past color and gender and look at the big picture that neither one was a great choice but who was more qualified to do the job. Also, if you didn't vote just because that's ridiculous. It seems to me that the people who make the most noise are the ones who are protesting. Now what perplexes me is you didn't have time to vote, but if you have time to block city streets, set trees on fire or stand in front of Trump Tower, then you should've had time to vote.

In life we tend to listen to respond, not to hear. And at the rate that we are going the end is very near if we don't get our act together real soon and open our eyes.

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.
