Remember, Love Is Love Is Love.

Love will always be greater than hate.

Remember, Love Is Love Is Love.
wikipedia

All week, I've been telling myself not to write this article. I have been dealing with all of the hatred and judgement; so many people complaining that it is time to get over it.

Well, this election is a hard one to "get over." It is impossible to move on, when there are hate crimes spiking across the United States. All across the country, there are people feeling so many different emotions. You have people who are happy, relieved and excited. Then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have people who are scared, broken-hearted, and worried about their safety.

Then, you have people arguing about how others' feelings aren't valid.

Well, I want to say a few things, as I am trying to wrap my mind around our new President-elect, Donald Trump.

Stop telling people they are not entitled to their feelings. If you aren't scared, then that's good! I'm happy that you don't feel targeted or threatened; no one should ever have to fear for their safety in this country. However, if you see someone who is scared, sad, heartbroken, or anything else, how dare you tell them their feelings are wrong. If you are privileged enough to ignore Mr. Trumps' hateful rhetoric, great. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't so lucky. Stop hating that schools are providing safe spaces! If you don't need them, good. Unfortunately, others do.

Debates are healthy. The Veterans of our great country fight for our right to voice our opinions; we have the freedom of speech. Debates that turn hateful, rude or disrespectful are not OK.

Please stop telling people to "get over it." For some of these people, their lives depend on some of Trump's crazy antics. Females are worried about losing their rights to their bodies. People of different races, religions, sexualities and more are getting attacked. Right now, this country needs love more than ever. Love rallies are great, and they are a way to let people who are terrified know that you stand with them, and that you have their back.

Remember, love is love is love. Love will always be greater than hate.

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.
