Please Exclude Trump From This Narrative

Before I begin, I ask of you one thing: please do not let the fact that I’m not American make you think I’m not entitled to an opinion on this matter. I am. Anyhow, for the past months we’ve been witnesses to a somewhat tragicomical rise in Donald Trump’s political influence and position. A rise which has now resulted in him being the Republican candidate for President of the United States. And this is terrifying. I’m young, but I’ve seen my fair share of bad politicians (I come from a country where this man was the most voted Senate member in history) and somehow Donald Trump manages to top all of them.

Let’s be honest and admit that we never thought he’d get this far, and that is the sole reason no one did anything before he became the nominee. The idea of Donald Trump being so close to becoming President is so surreal that logical, good people could not fathom it actually happening (I have reason to believe the same thing happened with Brexit and look what we have now). Only his deluded supporters, who may somehow be even worse than he is, gave him the power to get to where he was: he was climbing up a flat hill, being helped up while nothing works against him or makes him struggle.

The fact that this man now has the palpable chance of becoming President is beyond me. He is racist, misogynistic, completely unprepared, impulsive, hot-headed, radical, a liar, and so many other negative qualities I can’t even finish listing. It took his repulsive comments about women in 2005 to make people finally start to consider that he should drop out of the race once and for all. And I’m glad it did, and I hope this costs him his reputation, election, name, everything. This bigoted fool should stick to stamping his surname throughout city skylines and being an A-class idiot and leave the country and its politics alone.

It worries me deeply what might happen to the world if he is actually elected. I do not want to imagine this becoming a reality because if I do I’ll find myself stuck in a mental blackhole with absolutely no way out. So please, please, if you can do something to stop this man from leading America and the world into the apocalypse (I do believe this will happen if he succeeds) please do. You may not like Hillary, but I believe we have reached the point where it isn’t pro or anti-Hillary anymore, it is pro or anti future, progress, equality, and peace. And if I can’t convince you to do so, and neither can all the headlines which continually show everybody what a genuinely horrible person this man is, let Robert de Niro do the job:

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
