God, Help Us All

The votes are in, and does it really matter? Both Trump and Clinton would have done bad, and now the country thinks they have chosen the lesser of two evils.

Remember, Remember, the 8th of November

This day will go down in history as the day our country started to fall off of its pedestal as one of the most powerful countries in the world. Yesterday, November 8th 2016, was the day that our once magnificent country voted to elect a pompous, foul-mouthed fool into the office of the presidency. Now, keep in mind, this foul mouthed fool was up against a lying, sneaking excuse for a politician, and she was no better of a choice.

BOTH Donald Trump AND Hillary Clinton would have ruined this country should they have been elected, and our country chose the pompous idiot. God help us all.

If Hillary Clinton was elected, I would be saying the same exact message as well. On the bright side, we know that Donald Trump will shout all of his plans from the mountain top instead of hiding them in emails that can be hacked. However, now the entire world sees us as a joke, and our reputation as a powerhouse is forever tarnished.

I wanted neither of them to win. I wanted this election to be thrown out in its entirety and start over with candidates that at least know what they are talking about. This campaign season was riddled with media nonsense and endless bashing of one another. Instead of trying to show the public their platforms for success, Trump and Clinton resorted to yelling at one another about why they were wrong. The election came down one sentence snippets as opposed actual quality debating.

All I can say is, God help us all. God help us all get through the next four years. God helps us all if Donald Trump actually fulfills many of the promises he made during his campaign. God help us all if a wall is built, if immigrants are forced out, and if our country is literally torn in off.

What is next for our once great country? Impeachment? War? Success maybe? It is now in Trump’ Hands. Clinton’s hands would have done just as bad. Maybe it does not even matter who won and we are all over reacting. Until we know the answer to that question...

God Help Us All.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
