Please Take Your Politics off my Newsfeed

In all honesty, I don't care who you're voting for

Please Take Your Politics off my Newsfeed
San Clemente Patch

It's not that I don't think everyone has a right to opinion. I just don't give two sh*ts what your opinion is.

I always hate when politics invade my Newsfeed. This year seems worse than ever. Every time I get on any social media all I seem to see is an article, post, or picture of something related to the election. At this point, most people have made up their mind quite decisively as to who they are voting for. You can name call and pitch as many fits and rants as you want, but here is the thing it isn't going to change anything.

I am one of those people who knows who I will be voting for come November. I came to that decision on my own and am not sharing. Here is the thing, my choice and vote are my opinion. I don't feel the need to throw my thoughts in your face. Instead I stick with the motto: "Good for you; not for me". You decision is your decision. Politics and many other hot-button topics are all about ideology. Ideology by definition is things that are close to your heart that are unlikely to change. So stop changing to change mine.

Sharing articles can be an important part of social media, and I don't think their is anything wrong with sharing your voice. Don't get mad at me though if I unfollow or unfriend you because you got on my last nerve by preaching your beliefs. Beliefs and passion are importnat in this world but is Facebook really the best place for that.

Facebook to me isn't about changing this life-changing or earth-shattering writing pieces. It's more about goofy listicles and cute puppy videos. So with that let's keep Facebook fun!

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.
