We're not done standing with you.

Open Letter To Hillary Clinton

Dear Hillary,

Thank you for everything you have done during this election season. I feel like no one really took the time to appreciate your hard work, ability to smash down hatred, and be a constant positive force for the women around you. Unfortunately, the Elector College did not reflect that, but the American people did. Your strength and unabashed faith in America was not lost on the majority of the United States of America. It is a sad day for those American people.

While we may be in a state of mourning, I firmly believe that it is our duty to stand with you and not accept the possibility of an America where hate outweighs hope. Your loss has inspired me to take a stand and not be afraid to voice my opinions about the injustice. My friend Hannah told me something important yesterday, and I thought it was too well-said not to include it here. She said:

" Trump supporters are short sighted. They voted for a man promising to bring back an America which is never coming back. We will never return to an America when white men were king, where women bled our naked in motel rooms because they were trying to access abortion. An America where minorities feared for their lives, running from lynch mobs. We are not going back, and it's unforgivable that people in this country want to go back to a time when hate was law."

It is heinous and for the next four years we not be silent. We will continue to educate ourselves and better the America we want to live in. An America where people are not afraid to walk down the streets after our president has been elected because they have the potential to be harmed.

These are trying times and I look forward to seeing you in the political spotlight once more, a continued voice for the marginalized. Just know that I am behind you, and so is the majority of America.

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.
