He's Our New President

Cry, Threaten to move, protest to Washington, but I'm sorry to tell you Donald is your president too, regardless of your vote.

He's Our New President
TIME

My friends and my family are very interesting. They love one another and group and band all together for everything and everything and make sure everyone is ok. I'm not sure if that's with all families or mostly Hispanic families that have that sense to their family, but I digress. I can only reflect the ignorance and childish comments that flood my Facebook page and continue to do so over the Presidential election. I understand the reasons trust me I do, but at the same time it doesn't give a good reason for the behavior I see coming from "adults".

Ever since election night, there has been a constant whine session about the outcome and Donald Trump becoming President of the United States and the outcry for him destroying America and his treatment towards woman and I could go on and on; however, this isn't the only thing that was the issue. What stirred from those posts were comments to mentioned posts that threatened and that threw away relationships with close friends and even family all because of this political outcome. Quite childish if you ask me and it's hard to come out of that looking at family and friends the same because they decide to block or unfriend anyone that voted Donald Trump. My brother's don't stop playing because people want to do things differently, so why are you accepted to do it while you're 20+ years older than they are? Accept your "loss" and move on. You have someone that you didn't want in office. Most likely you could be a part of the reason why he got his success. We can all admit that he ran his marketing well. He got himself out there and continued to stay relevant being the loud person we have come to know and vote for.

Donald Trump wasn't exactly my first pick, nor do I really care for him as a person; however, I'm not going to sit in a corner and cry about the choices my fellow Americans made. We all will have to see what is to come. He has yet to do anything, as he just became President this past Friday. Give him time prior to judging too much. My hope is that his campaign was a part of his marketing persona and that's it. I've said this before, but I want his acceptance speech to be the embodiment of his presidency and not the Trump we've been given in order to stay in the airwaves one news station at a time. He's our president. We Americans have to stand and watch now.

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.
