A Letter To Donald And Hillary: We're Concerned

Political views aside, let's talk about a few cold, hard (and advertised) facts.

A Letter To Donald And Hillary: We're Concerned
The Atlantic

To our dearest Mr. Donald Trump and Mrs. Hillary Clinton:

It's looking like one of you is going to be our president soon. Let's put all political views aside, all rumors, all concepts and opinions. Let's really talk about who y'all are as people or at least who you present yourselves to be. Because, unfortunately for you two, the moment you become president does not transform your lifestyle and personality and make you suddenly presidential.

Now when you two think of being elected as president, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Winning against your opponent? Free publicity? Perhaps some sort of validation for your own self-worth? These are (surprise!) not what you should be focussing on.



As an American, I want to be proud of my country and especially who we put on a golden platter to represent us. Currently I'm not thrilled with the idea of either of you being that idyllic citizen. I want a strong, confident, caring, honest, upstanding, kind, and open-minded person to be someone that we are going to entrust our country to. A confident person doesn't need to make fun of others. An honest person doesn't need to defend themselves. I would like to say that either one of you could claim all of these attributes, but I like to be an honest person as well.


First off, I'd like to be the first to say, "Are you kidding me?" Not only are you posting the lowest blow you can pull out of your abnormally large bag of crude remarks, but then you delete the post because you think that will magically make it all a little less horrible.


Ah, and Hillary, sweety, we understand why you would want to get back at him, but there are other ways to do that than making an entire website to make fun of the things your opponent has said. I mean, there has got to be a better way to spend your time... I hope?


Congratulations, you both have collected your honorary Teenage Internet Troll stamp!! Apparently there is not an age limit for this award.


We are considering you for president and you're cyberbullying some guy for obviously irrelevant reasons. Donald.


Now you two, I know that this is only your media depiction. And that is what really worries me. If you can't even portray the upstanding citizen that I described earlier, then we have a big problem. At this point I can't tell either of you who I prefer, but I can say one thing. I want an honorable president that's not going to make a fool out of the country that so many have laid their lives down for.


Sincerely,

A Very Concerned 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.

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.
