Dear Donald Trump, I Hope You Fail

I hope you fail at promoting fear and hate.

Dear Mr. Trump,

Firstly, I would like to say congratulations on your election. I do not say this because I support your presidency. I actually despise you. I find it disturbing that you were elected when you lost the popular vote by over two million.

As a queer woman, I find it disturbing you garnered any votes when your Vice President thinks he can electrocute people until they are straight and gives people the right to deny me service because of who I love.

As a woman, I find it terrifying that there are women who voted for you when you openly stated you have sexually assaulted women, when you have been charged with raping a child, when you hate on my sisters by calling them fat, bitches, whores. When you further stigmatize the natural process by which my body prepares itself to give birth, because you think a woman on her period is the only type of woman who would call you out, because a woman on her period is not rational.

As someone whose loved ones are immigrants and refugees, it breaks my heart that anyone would vote for the man who vows to “bomb the shit out of” Syria, and who said he would “look them in the eye and tell them they can’t come here” to the Syrian refugee children.

As someone who is dating a disabled person, whose friends are disabled, the fact that you are now my president when you openly mocked a disabled reporter makes me want to vomit and cry at the same time.

The fact that working class people think you understand them proves the need for improvement of our education system which you have ensured will not improve under you by appointing incompetent staff.

Donald J. Trump, you are a deplorable man and I hope you fail.

I hope you fail at promoting fear and hate. I hope you fail at stealing healthcare away from millions of people. I hope you fail at converting our public school system to private schools with a voucher system. I hope you fail at taking away a woman’s right to choose. I hope you fail at defunding Planned Parenthood. I hope you fail at convincing people climate change is a hoax. I hope you fail at raising taxes on the poor and giving tax cuts to the rich. I hope you fail at murdering millions of people. I hope you fail at building a wall to separate the us and the them further.

Because the us and them are both humans. We all bleed red. We all love and hope and cry and laugh and dream and fight. We all want to succeed. The problem with you, Mr. President, if you thrive when people fail. When somebody fails you give them somebody else to blame it on. This is a dangerous game you’re playing as you breed hate and fear.

Your fear is no way to lead the supposed “greatest country in the world.” I do want you to Make America Great Again. But not just for rich white men like yourself. Your demographic has had everything since the dawn of time. Make it great for the single mothers, the girl walking in the dark just trying to get home safe, the man who lost his job and everything else with it, the girl afraid to tell anyone she’s gay, the Muslim man walking down the street and the Hispanic woman holding his hand. Make America great for the sick, the poor, the hungry.

Make America great for everyone.


Because Americans are diverse. And that’s already great.

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.
