Time To Go High America

We need to find our personal responsibility.

Time To Go High America
Anthony DELANOIX

It’s time to find your faith, it’s time find your cause.

Remember that we’ve fought bullies before, ones that unfairly taxed us, and ones that unfairly treated us and persevered against all odds. We’ve succeeded in taking down an egotistical psychopath that was dead set on dehumanizing certain groups of people. (I hope we can do that again.)

Through the stock market crash the housing crash and the reorganizations of companies. We’ve persevered. I’m not worried about the survival of America, I’m not even worried about American’s thriving, because we’re better than this. This is not say that I don’t think we got EXACTLY what we deserve. This last year has opened my eyes to the blind hate in people’s hearts, the prejudice, the senseless acts of violence.

Stand up American, no more sitting back, liking something on Facebook, discussing it in our hipster coffee shops or hometown diners. We need to find our personal responsibility. We did this America, and we’re going to keep our heads high in this next 4 years to make sure that Donald J Trump doesn’t get away with putting a toxic mix of fear and hatred in the hearts of our society.

In one minute over 70 women experience rape or sexual violence. Yesterday there were two Des Moines officers that were buried because a bigot shot them for no reason, or possibly for kicking him out of a football game for waving a confederate flag. Do you know what these crimes have in common? That the perpetrators think they have a RIGHT to do them. They don’t care about other people, what they care about is themselves, they think they are bigger than society, the government, and the law.

To the trump supporters in the room, I know you voted this monster because you see him as a way OUT of the big banks, and the “handouts”. But I feel you were blinded by your personal agenda (weather that was gun laws, taxations or some other policy) and forgot to ask yourself what impact this would have on the future. On your children, on your daughters, on you LGBTQ friends, on the environment, and ultimately, YOU. This will impact you negatively. Trump cares about ONE person, and that’s himself.

It’s time to fly high my fellow Americans. We’re going to have to put personal responsibly with every iota of our being. Recycle, give charitably to organizations you research, teach your sons like you would your daughters and your daughters like you would your sons. This is our time to go above the fray, we are better than this scumbag and his deplorable messages. Be kind, work hard, and never forget to ask yourself hard questions.

Don’t lose the faith.

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.
