I Am Not Current On Politics

And I'm not sorry

Here we are again, and were all going crazy over who is about to be president of this country. I understand the hype and I understand the need to choose the right person that goes along with your beliefs, but I'm just not one of the people that believe all the hype is necessary.

The media has made me not want to even watch the television, let alone become interested on any type of politics. There's so much out there that we will never know and it is just better that I not get myself all crazy over.

To be honest, I don't think anyone is "qualified" to run an entire country with a very diverse community of people. No one has the proper tools to figure out issues and solutions to problems that we face every day. These people come from a place of money and though they may have experience in other areas, they do not live the everyday life of people. Some of them get things handed to them, and have assistance and people doing everything for them.

The politics of today are being talked about and glorified with what we don't know to be factual information, while many people are being killed by the police -- the very same people that the government employs. There bigger issues going on in the world and not enough media coverage because of the simple fact that politics are running rampant on our TV and the government has first say on what gets coverage.

You have Hillary Clinton, who has done numerous things over the years that are very questionable. She has hidden emails, among other things that I wouldn't want someone as my president to do.

Next, you have Donald Trump, who is just an all-around ridiculous human being. He makes fun of people he feels are less than him, as if he is on some type of pedestal. It is a pedestal that he created, and also a pedestal that the media glorifies with all of the coverage that the next presidency is going to get.

Another reason why I'm not current on politics, and don't want to be, is because the world is changing so much every day. No one is really equipped to handle the changes that we see. There are not enough answers and not enough solutions on how we as a world are going to change.

Am I saying that no one should vote and we shouldn't have a president? No, I'm not. What I am saying though is that I'm not one to concern myself with things when I really won't ever get the truth of what is going on.

The world has seemed to adopt an ignorance towards the real issues of the world. Politics just take away from the people that are dying every day and the fact that no one is really doing anything about it.

I choose to not be a part of the fiasco that is being created.

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.
