Dear Mr. Trump, You Won't Silence Us

But you will try.

Dear Mr. Trump,

Please note that I’m not referring to you as Mr. President

Because you are not my President now, nor will you be so for the next 4 years

I can’t argue that you didn’t win the position, and I can’t say that you weren’t inaugurated as the 45th POTUS

But I’m not going to give you the respect of that title. Respect is earned, and you’ve earned none of mine

You don’t respect my rights, so I won’t respect you as a person

I don’t wish you to fail for our country, because I’m still living here, but I hope that we can fight every all-right bill your administration tries to pass.

No, we do not need a wall, immigrants aren’t stealing jobs, companies are taking advantage of migrant workers that they can pay less than minimum wage

No, we don’t need conversion therapy, though your VP would disagree

When you say you’re going to put America first before anything else, we know what you mean

Your America is full of rich, white, straight, cis-gendered men, their businesses, and their families.

In that order.

How can we expect you to care about a country when all you care about is yourself?

You, a rapist, racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, pathological liar.

Someone who can’t even handle criticism, or who can’t handle the truth?

People share photo’s of your inauguration, but your administration states the media was lying? Again.

You can’t force your propaganda down our throats and expect us to take it as fact. You’re calling the media swine, bitches, bimbo’s, disgusting, so you can push your rhetoric on your voters.

You state that you want people to come to you for the “facts” because you can’t handle someone calling you out on your lies.

You say that Washington is corrupt, but you and your administration are now Washington? You’re not a part of the people, you’re part of the problem.

We’re going to be here, opposing you all the way. We’re here to fight you. 2.9 billion people gathered to protest you and your administration. The largest protest in US history.

You can’t divide us, you can’t destroy us, you can’t lie to us, you can’t convince us, you can’t dismiss us.



You won’t silence us.

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.
