Dear Mr. President Elect, Please Prove Me Wrong

Dear Mr. President Elect,

I am just a small town country girl that you have never heard of and who's voice you will never hear. You will probably never see this. It probably won't be shared enough or even at all. It may as well be gone as soon as I hit publish.

All of that said, I am going to use my small voice to tell you what I think and feel, what I hope comes of this.

I hope you prove me wrong. I hope you do make America great again as you say you will. America needs saving.

I hope you close the great divide that we have suffered due to the hatred and racism. You yourself are guilty of portraying to this once great nation.

I am terrified because you placed a man who legalized discrimination in his state a heartbeat from the office you just won. I pray for our LGBT community who's rights are being endangered because of who they love. They deserve to love as fiercely as anyone. Please help them in through this battle they so deserve to win.

I want you to prove to me that you are not the man you appear to be. You are the man that is the leader of all things hate in this country. The racists, the bigots, and the bullies.

You are not the type of person that I would have ever imagined becoming a president.

Frankly you are a far cry from the role model I thought I would call a president when explaining to my children who to look up to. I'm begging for you to prove me wrong.

I fear what you can do in just four minutes. I fear for our military families. They never know what wars they be thrown into because a world leader baits you in a tweet.

I fear for our recovering economy, that was doing well under a great man.

In short, you have some big shoes to fill Mr. President Elect. I have mounds of fears and concerns where you are involved in America's well-being.

I honestly think America made a mistake by choosing you.

I will pray for you, like every good American should. Mostly I pray you prove me wrong.

Sincerely,

A small town country girl

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.
