Love Trumps Hate

Despite the results of the election, life has to move on.

Love Trumps Hate
https://sli.mg/8ENM0u

Ever since we learned the two presidential candidates were going to be for this election people were nervous. People were nervous because many felt that neither of the two would prove to be good presidential candidates. There was some prediction of what would happen if Trump won the election but I don’t know if anyone was prepared for day one after the election.

Day one after the election and a black woman’s car was spray painted, and many people were on social media talking about how if it was okay for Trump to grab a woman by her genitals, then it was okay for them too. Many minority children and families are afraid that Mr. Trump will deport them back to where they came from even though they were born and raised here. There is so much fear in this country than ever before. The fear of the unknown is baffling to me. As a young woman in this country there are things that have really bothered me about the way that Mr. Trump talked about women. I am now wondering that since he was elected and talked about women that way, if others will now have that mentality as well.

On election day I was going through the line at Starbucks to get some coffee, and to my surprise the woman in front of me had paid for my order. I was shocked at the kindness I had just received especially on election day. But even though it does not seem like it now, there IS some good left in the world. There are lots of amazing people who will make a great impact on the world. This was one day, at one point in history that was not so great. There will be lots of bad days in the world but we all must be kind and love one another and we will get through this together. Although I did not vote for him, I wish all the best for Mr. Trump. I hope that he turns out to be a decent president because he is very soon going to be the captain of our ship, if he sinks we sink with him, and I don’t want that to happen to this great country.

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.
