Dear America: Part III

A final letter to the United States of America

Dear America: Part III
Alphacoders

Dear America,

I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the population of people who inhabit your land.

I am sorry for what we have put you through. We have taken your native people from you, only to take another race from their native land and bring them here to treat them like animals.

We don't take care of your children because they're lazy if we do, so we expect them to do everything on their own. We give them the right to vote and join the military, often times before they graduate high school but expect them to decide what they will do for the rest of their lives only months after they have to ask permission to get a drink of water.

We have school systems that focus on training obedience rather than ensuring that each student actually comprehends what they are being "taught."

We tell your citizens that they have no right to their bodies, minds or souls. We tell your women that they have to carry a pregnancy to term and have the child of the man who raped her but won't let that child use women's bathroom because he was assigned "boy" at birth.

We spend money on two story tour buses and treat your big cities like zoos, meanwhile some of your inhabitants; pillows are their shoes.

We tell your men that if they have feelings then they must be gay and sent to church camp so they can pray it away.

We have two puppets running for president; we can't agree on which is the one with more strings and neither one of them are going to fix any of these issues.

Donald Trump is right. We have some bad people, some bad, bad people in this country. We need to get them out and stop them from running for president.

Hillary Clinton said, "we're standing but we're not yet running." I'm going to take this out of context for a second and say she's absolutely wrong. We're not even standing.

I hope that we fix this for you in 2020.

Sincerely,

Your inhabitants.

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.
