By the time this is published, I'm sure a majority of the country (if not everyone) will be so sick and tired of hearing about the election that this will matter even less than it might have to begin with. Even so, I want to get my own views out there just like everyone else. I know you don't care, but hear me out.

Here's the thing: I've accepted Donald Trump as the new president, plain and simple. However, this was not really an easy thing for me to do. Please note that is not at all a pro-Hillary article, merely my feelings toward the chosen candidate.

On November 8th, as I sat anxiously awaiting the results with my nose pressed against my phone screen, I started to notice something. For weeks I had had conversations with my family and friends that there was no possible way Trump would win. Whether this was because the election was rigged toward Hillary, or just that we didn't believe so many people would vote for Trump, Hillary was always dubbed the winner. But that moment, when I realized how quickly and simply he was winning all of the states, I became nervous.

I by no means realized how much more biased I was toward Hillary until watching the results change by the minute. My heart was racing and my stomach ached. How? I wondered. How is this happening?

To me, Donald J. Trump was never anything more than that man who told people that they were fired and who randomly appeared in some of my favorite childhood movies (A.K.A. Home Alone 2). To me, he was not a legitimate candidate until I saw his numbers rising. In my mind, his campaign was a joke, catering to the media and just passing time back and forth with Hillary.

Never in my life would I have imagined someone such as Trump even running for president, much less winning. My body was numb, and I still couldn't tell you why. I guess I was afraid; Donald Trump, to me, would never be the type of person who should run for president. The fact that he had gotten as far as he did baffled me.

Again, I have accepted him. But that does not mean I'm not somewhat worried about what the future holds. Of course, I have to remind myself (as do many of us) that the president does not hold all of the power. In all honesty I think I worry more about his VP, Mike Pence.

I realize that, as a nation, we have had terrible presidents in the past and will always continue to find something wrong with whomever we ourselves did not vote for. This is why I'm not criticizing anyone who did vote for Trump.

I'm not criticizing those who voted for him because some of you are my family, and I know the circumstance in which you did. Within his policy, there are many things I do agree with! I hate the common core (which I know Hillary supported) and love that he plans to lessen taxes for middle class families (especially with children)! But until that happens, I don't know where I stand in my opinion toward him.

I am confused about him. Media is so easily warped and twisted that there is no possible way to tell what is true anymore. I do know that his family history is not a lie, and that he does have several trials to be settled (as does Hillary), and that he obviously loves to "play" a dramatic, conceited man. The problem is, when you find out about all of the good things he did do, how can you take them into account? The man's life was made big through television and drama. How do I not know that he wasn't just doing some good deeds in order to look good?

I don't know what to believe. So, since I will never have any solid answers, I will accept him. I will accept him as a man with morals I do not approve of, but also as a man who did some good deeds within his lifetime. I will accept him as a president, but not as anything else. I will accept him for what I must, but no more than that. Until he proves himself worthy of our respect, I will simply accept him.
