We are the feminazi’s right? We marched, we are un-ladylike. we are loud and unapologetically so. With so many people against the women’s march, you might be thinking, why did we march?

We marched because of the doctors that refuse women safe healthcare.

We marched because out president has been accused of sexual assault, yet was still allowed to run for office.

We marched because one in 4 women have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime and thats only the statistics we know about because so many women don’t feel safe reporting it.

We marched because of Brock Turner.

We marched because whether you agree with abortion or not, that should be your choice and not the men in congress who don’t know you.

We marched because of the women who are slut shamed by men and the women on the sidelines who accept this as okay behavior.

We marched because you should never feel powerless.

We marched because you have the right to say yes or no whenever YOU please.

We marched because underwear that prevents sexual assault is a thing.

We marched because of the countless women who have benefitted from plan parenthood.

We marched because our vice president thinks you can electrocute gay people into being straight.

We marched because many members of congress believe that abortion should be banned with no mercy of those who are victims of rape of incest.

We march because because most people wont let you have control over your body until someone has already taken that away.

Lastly, we marched for you.

We marched because you deserve to choose.

Choose a house, choose your doctor, choose your medical treatment, choose your job, choose if you want a partner or not and who that partner is.

Just like the countless women before us, whether you wanted it or not, we marched for 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.
