Why I'm glad Donald Trump won

It's not what you think...

Why I'm glad Donald Trump won

I'm not very fond of Donald Trump. Not a lot of people are. I enjoy that he does not sugarcoat anything. He says things like they are. Very outspoken, very blunt, very honest. Now, is that a good thing or a bad thing? You can answer that one for yourself.

A nation of sheep ruled by wolves owned by pigs.

If Hillary Clinton became President-elect, we would still be in the same state of mind. No major changes, just comfort. We would still be asleep. Donald Trump, no matter what you think about his character, is inspiring citizens to fight back. I believer that our true American values will finally come out of its shell after decades upon decades of being closed up (check out my article on what it means to be an American). What are those values exactly? Fighting for free will, fighting for our rights, fighting for our dignity. Hell, we're already seeing anti-Trump protests bursting out all across the nation. Ladies and gentleman, the milk has been spilled. There's no going back in time. Donald Trump is President-elect. We must accept this, but that doesn't mean we have to like it.


Talk is cheap.

I don't judge people by what they say or read. Rather I judge people by what they DO. The fact of the matter is that Trump hasn't actually done anything yet. He may be all talk, but we must give him a chance. I do not hate Trump. I am merely waiting for what his first move is going to be. Then, and only then, will I act accordingly. I will only judge him by his actions as POTUS. Let's go back to square one: every American citizen is guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I am a libertarian at heart; We are free to live life in a way that makes us happy, as long as we don't do anything illegal or violate other people's rights. Donald Trump cannot revoke this. If he even thinks about it, I'm here to inform that he needs to stay on his toes. We will pounce.

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.
