I Want Trump Gone More Than Anything This Christmas

This Christmas, I want sanity and empathy back in our government.

I Want Trump Gone More Than Anything This Christmas
Jerry Kiesewetter

Instead of traditional gifts one might receive for Christmas, like gift cards, clothing, jewelry, or a new iPhone, what I really want it something far more important: Trump out of the White House.

I'm so incredibly upset at where we are as a country. How did Trump fool so many voters into a state of false hope? How does he continue to maintain so many of these supporters despite all the evil he is doing?

This Christmas, I want sanity and empathy back in our government.

I want the truth about Trump to be unearthed: his greed and insincerity are indicative of a deeper issue rooted in his ugly soul. He doesn't want to help us all: he wants to help himself and rich frauds just like him... and we're allowing him to do this.

The earth deserves to be treated so much better than how we're treating it now. The fact that climate change is being debated is laughable and disgusting at the same time. We are killing our planet by drilling into its heart, sucking out its blood, and ruining its surface with deforestation, oil spills into its water sources.

Trump recently proposed slashing the size of Bear's Ears, a national park which is currently federally protected and holds immense historical and Native American tribal significance. And what for? To develop more space for us to abuse for oil extraction and mining.

I demand social change and movement this holiday season. I want this insanity to end. I need us to do better, and I need the president to admit that he is not fit to lead this country because of how toxic he is, both to human beings and to the planet.

I'm afraid of the future because of who our leader is and how blindly his supporters follow and support him. Can't they see what evil is happening around them?

We need to take action before it really is too late.

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.
