Be The Love That Trumps Hate

This election will bring out America's true colors:

When the map was painted red showing the overwhelming support for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, a heaviness pressed against my shoulders when the thought of what is to come of our nation became clear. It's unbelievable to read the stories that began to happen minutes after Trump's acceptance speech. Since then, there has been both hate crimes consisting of racism, ethno nationalism, sexism, death threats, physical violence, and so on. But on the other hand, there has also been peaceful protests, people showing their support for their neighbors and strangers, and peace movements evolving.

This election, whether good or bad, ignited a flame in, probably, the majority of the nation's bodies, showing everyone that their voice really does matter and can make a difference. I now truly know that my voice needs to be heard, and for that reason I am starting a peace movement. For anyone who is interested in joining me in spreading love and support to EVERYONE who is good, here is what my movement is about:

The slogan is an expansion of the already famous "LoveTrumps Hate". It is "Be the Love that Trumps Hate". I am using a white rose as my symbol for this and will be passing them out to reflect my love for this nation and all who live in it! Please help me to spread the word across, by doing the same and passing out anything you find to be beautiful and pure, and incorporate the slogan to it in some way as well. I believe we, as a nation, can stand strong without spreading hate and more negativity, but by being good and showing our love through simple gestures like this movement!

"Be the Love that Trumps Hate"!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
