Dear Donald Trump

You Are Not the President of the UNITED States

Dear Donald Trump,

Following the Inaugural Address on Friday January 20th, you were sworn into office as President. You may be the President, but you are not the President of the United States. For decades, America has regarded itself as a United Nation. There is a diversity of Blacks, Whites, Native Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, males, females and people of the LGBTQ community. Even with all our differences, we coexist peacefully in the same communities. During the course of the election, countless offensive actions of yours created a divide in the Nation. Throughout your campaign you relentlessly ostracized women, gays, blacks, Latinos, Muslims, transgenders, lesbians, and Asians. A President is 'the leader of a country', disturbingly enough, you are considered the role model of America. As President I would hope you're aware of the document the Founding Fathers based this nation on; the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence states: "all men are created equal." Equality is the reason horrific wars throughout the World have been fought. The blood shed during the Civil War to make blacks and whites equal; The amount of deaths it took to make blond hair and blue eyes just an appearance rather than a superior race; your hateful discriminations have taken us back in time a hundred years. When the Founding Fathers birthed this great nation, freedom was and has been a top priority for America. Freedom of religion, sexuality, and (since the establishment of slavery in 1865,) freedom of race and nationality are a few of the the extremely important freedoms you as an American citizen are granted automatically. You Trump, have threatened the freedom of a large percentage of America. You bullied different races, nationalities, genders and sexualities. You treated these people different from you as scum. You want to build a wall so we can be "protected". Protected from what? Diversity? People relocate here so they can feel safe. You've ripped that safe feeling away from everyone and anyone who isn't a straight white male.

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.
