Melania vs. Michelle

Is it still plagiarism if you do not know you did it?

Melania vs. Michelle
People Magazine

Social Media has blown up these past few days with the leftovers from Melania Trump's Republican National Convention speech and whether or not she plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech from the Democratic National Convention back in 2008. Something around 7 percent of her speech was almost word for word directly taken from our dear FLOTUS’s speech. Now, I’m not going to argue whether or not I think the speech was plagiarized because I read both speeches and there were definitely similarities. I’m talking about whether or not Melania knew what was going to go down.

I’m talking about how I wholeheartedly believe that Donald J. Trump would throw his wife under the train tracks to be brutally destroyed by the public.

In my humble opinion, the Donald is only running for president to get Hillary Clinton elected. I think the many, many years DT has supported the Clintons' political careers should make it a tad obvious. His only job was to make a complete fool of the Republican Party so no one would take any of the other candidates seriously. He likes to say anything that will keep the public talking, he also likes to make sure it is about him.

What else would you expect from a reality TV star?

Now we have come to the point in the election where the majority of the public believes we only have the two options. They believe, come this November 8th 2016, they will have to choose either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. It is now the Republican Party’s job to make it a complete act of idiocy to vote for the Donald. Every time I turn around I’m reading an article about someone else DT has harrassed.

The most recent, his wife.

The only problem with this is the fact that I do not think Melania Trump was told that she would be used and made a fool. Since the very beginning of his campaign, it has been known that she has been against her husband running for office. Though she may have been involved in the scheme, I don’t think she knew she was giving a speech similar to Mrs. Obama’s. So while everyone is out there making fun of Melania, I think they need to take a minute to think about how she must feel. Waking up the next morning, learning about what happened, then processing the fact that her husband did this to her. He allowed the supposed love of his life to be crushed by our overly judgmental society for his own personal gain.

There is no way her speech writers were not aware the speech was so similar to the one FLOTUS gave back in 2008. There is no way Donald J. Trump was not aware that his wife was going to be so viciously used.

Melania Trump is as much of a victim as they come. She doesn’t deserve the whipping she was handed.

Yours Lovingly

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.
