Give Peace A Chance, America

Spread peace, not hate.

Give Peace A Chance, America
History.com

Everyone in the world right now is too busy yelling at each other and choosing sides. Everyone is too busy using the he said she said arguments. Everyone is too busy about protesting or complaining about the protestors. Everyone is too busy posting their political views on Facebook rather than talking to someone in real life about their political views and actually hearing someone else's viewpoint, but I have one question for you America, why?

In a time where a celebrity can be a president and someone who is under federal investigation is allowed to run for president, why are we focused on opposing each other? Shouldn't we be working to make America a better place ourselves rather than letting the government take full and utter control of us? We the American people can come together to create a better country for ourselves and for one another. In a time like this, we need to give peace a chance.

I have never seen so much hatred being spread than I have in these past couple of weeks. People calling each other p*ssies for rioting, bigots for not being tolerant of other peoples opinions. Instead of destroying things during the riots why not march for peace? To those of you being completely blindsided and not wanting to hear anything but your own side whether it be democrat, republican, or independent why not try and discuss with others in person rather than just ranting on Facebook and blocking those who disagree with you? I'm not telling anyone to change their views or change parties, but why not give peace a chance?

Let's go back to being the America that we all love. Let's go back to the America that wants peace, not violence. Stop the hate, spread the love. Give peace a chance, America.

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.

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.
