Dear Trump Supporter,

I could start by mentioning the uncountable absurds, threats and lies your candidate has become so famous for. I could explain in detail why his behavior is not only unacceptable for a president but it is also unfit for a decent human being. It is so easy, for anyone with a working brain, to prove that he is a racist. And a sexist. And a liar. And that he is just so wrong in every possible way. But this is not the point of this, Trump supporter, because you are already aware of all of it. You know who he is, there’s no ambiguity or misinterpretation, and still, you want to vote for him.

Many of you claim to be voting for him because you simply can’t vote for Clinton, because you don’t trust her, because she’s not transparent, because she lied about the emails, because she is married to Bill Clinton, because of Iraq, because she’s a democrat. You do have all the right to disagree with her policies and ideas, and to not trust her with your vote.

You DON’T have the right, however, to treat all muslims as terrorists and ban them all, to build walls as an attempt to marginalize the thousands of people that created this nation, to sponsor the diminishment of women and the rise of patriarchalism - this (and so much more) you are definitely, undoubtedly and wholeheartedly doing by supporting Donald J. Trump.

So I guess that voting for him makes of you, only based on the previous paragraph, (at least) a islamophobic, a latinophobic and a sexist. Ouch. I bet they’re creating new isms just because of your beloved candidate.

Have you ever read about World War ll and went like “This nazi thing is crazy, how did that many people support it? That’s impossible!” Well, Trump supporter, congratulations, you are the impossible. You are the kind of American foreign people have in mind when they say they hate Americans.

Regardless of the result of the election, if you vote for Trump, you’ll have to live with the fact that you are an embarrassment to democracy because you’re undermining the ongoing fight for unlimited and unrestrained freedom many of your ancestors have given their lives for. And years from now you will hopefully realize that Hitler was wrong. Trump. I mean Trump was wrong.

But hey, there’s one way to avoid all this lifelong historical shame, and it’s very simple: don’t vote for him. Remember this country is most certainly not only composed of white people. Remember your own Republican values. And especially, don’t vote for him because you don’t want to vote for the well educated and prepared woman who is going to win.

In a couple of days this country will make history, think carefully about which side you want to be on, because history doesn’t forget.

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.
