You Need To Hear What I'm Saying

This Is A Politically Charged Article
PNGall

This is a politically charged article.

I am using my rights for freedom of speech to make my followers uncomfortable. Some of you may agree with my wholeheartedly, while others will make valid, and not so valid points in the comments. I may talk about the election and what may or may not be, but let this be known. I. Am. Angry.

I am angry because this country has such divided opinions and everyone is pointing fingers at one another. I may look to the liberals to blame, or the democratic agenda, or the extreme conservatives. I am going to mention something about white privilege, what it is like to live in a society where a minority such as being a woman, in the LGBTQ community, or a race that isn't white is being oppressed- because they are. I may be a white male that is saying what I believe in and I might be terribly wrong, or I may be right. I will dismiss others opinions because this is my article and this is what I believe in.

Fingers are being pointed at me.

I am getting hate in the comments, I am trying to get my point across while others are telling me every other viable option. Caps lock is probably turned on. There are people scrolling right now, reading this article, and wondering why they even clicked on it. I am very politically charged.

Sound familiar?

We are tearing this country apart.

Everyone is angry at what is going on. Minority groups and those that are left out are cry, screaming out at this election.

I have scrolled through many Facebook Newsfeeds of mine that have all consisted of something that resembles what is above. Whether it is someone telling to who to vote for, who to not vote for, or not to vote at all, they all still have the same tone.

Politically charged and angry.

Angry about what this country is being boiled down to, angry with themselves, angry at laughing when the candidates first took the stand, angry at America.

But instead of being angry, we all need to just think about what is best for us, and what is best for our country. I know it is getting down to the wire, and we are scared. We are scared of what is to come for our country. Our country that we say is the best in the world, and that we would do anything for.

We are in the land of the free and the home of the brave. So let's be brave and stand together.

Go vote in this election.

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.
