To The Girl Who Believes Man Is Greater

I will never understand why young women see themselves as inferior to their fellow man.

To The Girl Who Believes Man Is Greater

The election is over and emotions are at an all-time high. I'm not usually one to voice my opinions on social media, but lately, I've had enough of some of the hate I've been witnessing. I saw one tweet from a young lady that stated, "Honestly, even if Hillary were a super qualified candidate, I still wouldn't vote for her because I don't believe the presidency is a woman's job."

Wait......... what???

Her argument was that women are too "emotionally unstable" to lead a country. While I did not vote for Hillary Clinton, it was because I felt like she truly was not qualified to lead this country. Hillary being a woman, had nothing to do with it. I would love to see a woman take the office someday. But I hope that when that day comes, that woman is a qualified and strong and courageous individual who keeps American citizen's best interests at heart.

I find it utterly sickening that a young woman can sit there and say, "I don't believe women are equal to men." Honey, I've got a brain just like a man does and I've got rights just like a man. does.

You may not see yourself as being equal to a man but I sure as hell do. I'm sorry that you somehow got to the distorted idea that just because a woman has a period and has a hormone cycle, that she is of lesser value. I think having a period and hormone cycle is great!! Because that means I was blessed with the gift to reproduce and give birth to a new generation.

And I will teach my children that they are equal and deserve the same rights. But in the meantime, I will pray for your future daughters because they will never know their true capability as a powerful woman.

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.
