When Your Best Friend Comes Out As A Trump Supporter
The Sun

You two have made it so far. Beginning as young kids with nothing but ignorance figured out, your friendship has lasted and grown throughout decades. Together you have made it through the greatest ups and most severe downs, you’ve lived through a lot during the companionship and much of this had made you officially titled life long best friends. You trust each other, as the only person on this planet that truly knows you they would never hurt you.

In actuality, they would never hurt you, but this is 2016. The year where the greater portion of the American population feels cheated out of a candidate that they can cast a vote for and feel at ease with. You were set on sitting back and letting the rest of this nation get a headache for who the greater evil is, or maybe you were one of those with bags packed about to head to a place that has a choice in their election that doesn’t feel like an evil scam of a joke sporting a mustard stain on a T-shirt.

They have made up their mind, set to participating as a good example of our current version of democracy, ready to cast their vote. They are not the morbidly uneducated kind that blindly support, they are not the racists that you awfully despise, leading you to know there is no reason to disown their kind love; truly they are not the bad ones. You would react with the same distaste if they had picked the foul rubber faced lady looking horrible in the expensive dress that makes you trust her even less. So, how do you swallow this cold dark and lonely reality?

Give them flack with a light heart and do your thing, laugh bitterly. Know they are great, simply hooked by one of the bogus strings of ramble that came out of his mouth.

Actually, maybe it would be easier and more beneficial that you don’t do much; this situation with the election is trash, just be the best citizen you can.

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.
