Good Job America

With elections around the corner, I just wanted to give kudos to all nominees and show a little humor.

So 2016 has been pretty interesting... if I do say so myself. We have the clown epidemic, Harambe died, and our politicians are crazier than ever. Though, I have to give the political nominees props for even attempting for such a stressful job to inherit. Think about it, the President has one of the most stressful jobs in the country. He or she has to be the scapegoat for America. They get the blame for our country’s problems, they are continuously ridiculed by the United States citizens that voted for them, and they are in the spotlight for the rest of their lives. Their dirty secrets are spilled to the United States citizens, then the citizens judge them like they do not have secrets themselves. Whatever... grow up America.

Now, I do not necessarily agree with political standing on situations. I like my rights the way they are and I would appreciate it if there were some improvements to make American progress. But this is not what this blog is about. I want to appreciate them for showing America that everyone makes mistakes. We, as American citizens, are so quick to judge people by their pasts even when the person is no better than you. I bet you have things to hide...yet, they are not letting this stop them from trying to get this job. They are showing us that they are human! Humans are not perfect, we are not God, but we try and just like our parents said... “Don’t give up when you fail.” The nominees are perfect examples of this! They keep on going through the gray and grim.

I don’t appreciate sexism, racial fear, or destruction of the public record. I do, however, love that more Americans are looking at the political standings, though. This election, we have not just two parties running but much more. I believe that that is a great improvement to America. We shouldn’t be so set in a certain idea but to look at everything in broad perspective. The craziness has made more people look elsewhere for what they want. This might be one of the most interesting votes to see what happens.

This race, no matter how tragic it seems, is showing younger generations that more people can run than just the two main parties. I believe that this is enlightening our children and young adults to broaden their perspectives and not just look at what their parents like. Too many people do not make choices for themselves and depend on their parents' views. Well, now with all the progress that America is trying to make and all the old views being shattered, we have young adults looking outside the box to find a cure for their own thoughts. I love it.

Full disclosure, I did not mention who I am voting for nor did I tell society not to vote for people. I am telling society to look at the bigger picture and that I am happy more people are looking at who they are electing into office. I am trying to make light fun during these dark times people believe we are in. I love the United States and I am very proud to be called an American citizen.

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.
