I'm The Republican Woman Who Has The #ChristianGirlAutumn Aesthetic, But I'm No Racist

I will continue to curl my hair and wear blanket scarves and J. Crew vests with just about every outfit.

Fall is my favorite season, and I am not ashamed to say that. The leaves changing colors and falling to the ground so I can hear them crunch as I walk over them makes my heart skip with joy. I also love anything pumpkin-flavored, but only in small doses. PSL's are fine and dandy every once in a while, but I'd much rather drink an iced coffee with a shot of pumpkin syrup.

You could say I'm just like the rest of the world when it comes to the fall season, but I don't see it.

So many people have traded blanket scarves for scrunchies and chunky sweaters for oversized tie-dye T-shirts.

Not this girl.

I will gladly wear a vest and booties any day of my life, and you probably couldn't catch me dead in a T-shirt that covers the length of my shorts.

The whole joke about #ChristianGirlAutumn started as a way to mock white women and the way they dress and present themselves.

I am a white woman, and I am not offended by it at all, because it's true. If someone doesn't like the way I dress or present myself, that's on them, not on me.

Being a #ChristianGirlAutumn kinda girl also doesn't mean I am a blatant racist and anti-LGBTQ. This is far from the truth. Yes, I am a Christian and conservative, but that doesn't mean I think the same as all the old white men in Washington D.C.

So, I will continue to curl my hair, wear blanket scarves and J.Crew vests with just about every outfit, in addition to having a Starbucks cup in my hand at (almost) all times.

And when summertime hits, you can bet I'll be wearing Lilly Pulitzer and Jack Rogers every day.

#ChristianGirlSummer.

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.
