Being the Love in a Hateful America

Be The Peace

This election has caused many people to start saying some horrible things. Both to and from Trump supporters. Something to note, however, is that everybody, regardless of political views, religion, color, etc. have feelings.

Sometimes, when people have harsh feelings, their judgment gets clouded, and they say extremely hurtful things. All around me, people are saying how much they hate Trump supporters and how rude and outrageous Trump supporters are. Those same people are spewing the same trash they supposedly are "against."

When you let opinions take over your emotions, there typically isn't a good response. I have talked to people who voted for Trump and people who didn't. The one who voted for him, are scared. Scared of what people will do or say to them. Some have said they feel shameful and they feel rejected. They feel rejected by the people blaming them for being judgmental. Problem?

There needs to be peace. Peace on all sides. Non-biased peace. People need to realize that everybody has feelings. Everybody has concerns. Everybody is experiencing the same America. We want unity. We don't want to walk around completely divided. We are one nation under God, regardless of the president.

Moral of the story, love everybody. Just because somebody supports Trump, there is no need to call them stupid, idiot, moron, and other words I can't even bring myself to type. Nobody will solve anything if there is no room for love.

Be the peace.

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.
