Dear President Elect Donald Trump,

Congratulations on getting elected. You have quite the ride ahead of you, but I'm sure you already know that. Now I'm not writing you this letter because you are Donald Trump, I'm writing you this letter because you are the president-elect, the president to be, the president with the opportunity to make this country better.

I'm not here to tell you why I like you or why I don't like you, or what I agree with or disagree with. I'm simply here to tell you that I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful for a brighter future. I'm hopeful for this country- that it'll be stronger, smarter and better than it ever has been before. Most of all, I'm hopeful that you're hopeful. I hope and pray that you see the potential that I see, in this country and in its people. I'm hopeful for you.

I hope that you'll prove yourself. I hope that you'll prove yourself to be more than what the media portrays you to be. I hope that within that anger there is passion and drive and that deep down inside, your words come from good intentions.

I hope that you'll understand. Every heart carries a different story, every life has followed a different path, and I hope you understand and honor individuality. I hope that you have perspective on every situation and that you go about everything accordingly. I hope you consider the best for this country, but more importantly the people in it.

I hope that you'll love. We would both be lying to ourselves if we said that America was full of love, especially right now. There are riots in the streets, men and women alike are saying hateful things, putting words in each others' mouths, misguided intentions in each others' hearts, so my God, more than anything I hope that you will love, and show this country how to love again.

We need to stop being the Disunited States of America and I hope you see that. We need to come together again, because at the end of the day we are one in the same. We are all humans, in need of love and patience and understanding.

President Elect Donald Trump, I am so incredibly hopeful. I hope that you will truly, make America great again.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
