Hell

A Donald Trump Presidency

Hell

I envision Hell as a place where women's rights are slipping away. Where powerful, white men are able to dictate what women are able to do with their bodies. I envision Hell as a place where women are punished for having an abortion. And having an abortion will be completely nonexistent in the near future.

I envision Hell as a place where women are treated in misogynistic ways. Where rape is advertised and will soon be the new normal. Where it is okay to "grab women by the pussy" and call them horrible names. Where women feel unsafe walking alone at night because they don't know if they'll be alive the next morning.

I envision Hell as a place where it is okay to assume a woman is menstruating because she asks deep and meaningful questions. Where women's breasts are sexualized in lingerie advertisements and pornography but shamed when breastfeeding their infants because it is viewed as disgusting.

I envision Hell as a place where marginalized groups are treated with disrespect and inequality. Where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other individuals are treated as if they are nonexistent and don't have a place here. I envision Hell as a place where suicide rates are on the rise because these people would rather die than be who they really are. Because our society still fails to accept them.

I envision Hell as a place where the color of someone's skin determines if they are criminals. Where young, black men are the victims are police brutality. I envision Hell as a place where immigrants are viewed as rapists. Where children are taken away from their parents at the border and kept in cages. I envision Hell as a place where building a wall to keep hopeful people out of our country has become the rhetoric that we hear daily.

I envision Hell as a place where school shootings have become an everyday occurrence in our society. Where innocent students are shot and killed. I envision Hell as a place where parents must identify the corpses of their young children. Where parents have to bury their child because nothing is being done about gun violence. I envision Hell as a place where teachers die to save the lives of their students. Where thoughts of arming teachers with guns appear to be a good idea because apparently, it is the only way we can save lives.

I envision Hell as a place where the time for prayer must stop and the time for action must begin.

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.
