You are not just another pussy to be grabbed.

Poetry On Odyssey: To Girls Growing Up In The Age Of Trump

To celebrate Women's History Month, I wanted to write a poem directed towards girls growing up during the Trump Era (but mainly with just the theme of women empowerment). Unfortunately during this time both girls and women have been degraded by men. What I want both girls and women to know is that we are important.

We are strong, brave women who deserve the same amount of respect as men get. I should mention now that this is in no way trying to steer hate towards men, more so continue to voice about the importance of women and push for the support in men doing something right. Instead of fighting over "who is more right" lets fight together on the right side of history.


To all of my sisters,

Not just my cisters,

But my sisters.

I want you to know that during this era,

Where the only thing you are supposedly known for,

Is your smile and breasts,

That you are more.

Your legs may be long like valleys,

And your skin might be caramel,

But that does not define you.

Staying home is not for us,

Or rather...

What we are meant to do.

To all you little girls who dream to become President,

Become President.

To all you little girls who wish to discover the hidden depths of space,

Discover the Universe.

Why should we be degraded to nothing more than objects?

Hands to hold, lips to be kissed?

We are more than that.

What we are, is women.

Girls.

Females.

What we are not are

Darling,

Sweetie,

Baby,

Or pussies to be grabbed.

We are women who deserve the same amount of respect

As you give our so called "president".

So...

To all the little girls who are growing up in this scary era,

I just want you to know that you are more than an object.

You belong in this world and the same respect as everyone else.

While it may seem impossible just remember that

In 2020 we will be able to make a change.

So be the change.

And let's make women equal...

Because this is long overdue.

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.
