From a Millennial Republican.
4thjulyusa

Hi.

I have been called many names these past couple of days: racist, fascist, lover of the KKK, and best friend to the confederate gun lovers. Okay, let's stop right there. Why are you calling me so many names when I haven't called you any? Exactly, there is no point. I am none of those things.

Please stop. We have done nothing wrong except for supporting our president-elect as you should be doing too. We would of gotten upset, mad, and wanted to punch something if our elect hadn't won, but we wouldn't of wanted to start a riot, thrown around horrible names at y'all, or anything else. We would of sucked it up and supported Hillary. Sure, we don't like her as much as y'all do but we wouldn't of handled the decision.

We are the generation that a few years from now is going to be divided and our parents, grandparents, etc. will not be there to get us to stop. We shouldn't be that way. I'm not telling you that you can't have your own opinions, or that have to be quiet about how you feel about the election. All I am asking you is to take a deep breathe and just get through the week. Everything will be okay.

How do you know how he will be in office? I don't, nobody does. How do you know how Hillary would of been in the office? You don't. He might of said things that you didn't like and it caused you not to vote for him, but people are a lot different when they have the responsibilities of actually being president. He might not be the best, but he might also not be the worst. He might actually surprise you.

As a Republican, I have been called many names more than what I've listed above. I for one, do not walk around, calling Democrats nasty names. So why should we all? As a Republican, I am here if you need someone to talk too. To get away from all the crazy politics. I will listen to your opinions as to why he isn't going to be a good president as long as you listen to my opinions. We will get through this, one foot at a time. We will be okay. We will defend each others rights and what we believe in without fighting each other. This is your country too.

Let's "make America whole again." Or better yet, let's "make America equal again." Because if we don't, it will be on us.

Sincerely,

A Millennial Republican.

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.
