As my family, friends and random people from high school I still have on Facebook know... I am a Democrat! (I'll wait for the gasp!) Okay with that said, it is Presidential election season as most of you know. So that means it is the time where everyone pretty much talks made s*%t about other parties but it is getting out of hand. I have gotten told countless times that I am a moron for voting for Hillary and that I am even going to Hell. I'm sure it is the same for people who are voting Trump.

While I personally hate Trump as I hate gifilte fish, everyone has the right to vote for whoever they want to. The colonists came to America to escape persecution and we have the freedom to believe in whatever you want. We do not live in a country where we all think and act the same and all have to vote for one person. The American government is full of people who believe in all sorts of different things from abortion to small government. While I am a Democrat and do not believe in what a lot of the Republican party stands for, this is America and that is okay!

I just watched a Tomi Lahren video and she called Hillary supporters morons, personally I did not take offense because I don't like her but that is what got me thinking about why can't people just respect other peoples political parties? This happens on both sides and the other political parties. So to the people who say Trump supporters are going to Hell or that Hillary supporters are morons, all I have to say is shut up. We like in a country where we can vote for whoever you want! So if you want to vote for Jill Stein, then you know what that's your right as an American of the United States. So just stop, just let people believe in whoever they want for POTUS. While you may not like it, just get over it. You will not change my mind and you will not change any one else's mind about their political affiliation.

So just stop and be thankful we live in a country where people can have their own believes and thoughts other than yours. The whole point of America is to have that diversity and for us to not live in a communist country where everyone is the same. So just let people be and if you want to argue okay go for it, just don't be rude and call them morons or other cruel names just because they don't believe in the same party as you.

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.
