Come together. Don't divide.

Okay, I understand people are probably very tired of hearing about politics, but this is an issue I feel needs to be strongly addressed. Since the election of Donald Trump, there has been multiple riots from people who were displeased with the results. People are burning flags, beating up cars, and even beating up Trump supporters. These riots are not helping anything. They only cause division among American citizens.

There has also been a lot of Trump supporters who have been making racial comments, as well as being involved in hate crimes against people of different color or religion. This not only causes division among citizens, but also scares people of different races and religions. All of these hateful, destructive acts have got to stop.

To the Trump supporters, Trump himself has been talking about uniting the American people. This means you too. He wants all of us, including you guys, to come together and help this country grow rather than dividing it even further. If we keep this up, our country will soon be one of war and destruction. I don't know about you, but that's the main thing that scares me.

I would hate to see a war break out on our own soil, and between our own peers. We've seen this already. Remember? It was called the Civil War. If we have another one of these, this county would definitely fail.

I ask you guys to please think about this before doing anything else that is considered hurtful or destructive. I didn't want to leave this country after the election because I wanted to believe we were better than this. I wanted to believe we could team up, rally around what we have, and help out our nation as best as we can. Please prove me right.

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.
