What Am I?


Disclaimer: I do not represent any group I list below. I may affiliate, but I am not in any leadership position or important position.

Let's start basic. I am from Texas, but was raised in Ohio and Oklahoma. Surprise, a conservative that was born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma. I am 19 and I am Hispanic. Not Mexican. My family hails from Uruguay. I am also a white man with brown eyes and brown hair. Nothing too special there. I am a very average person. I am a musician and a staunch conservative. Kind of. I am very conservative on fiscal issues, but primarily liberal on most social issues. I personally value fiscal issues over social ones.

I am anti-abortion for a litany of reasons, but that story is best saved for another time. I am pro-gay rights and am a first wave feminist. If you don't know about the waves of feminism, look them up. It is extremely interesting how feminism/egalitarianism has evolved. I believe third wave feminism is idiotic and a waste of time. I am not associated with many things belonging to the third wave. I am extremely average in most ways. I am average height, build, weight, and ideals. I am pro capitalism and believe it is the best economic structure by far. I am pro-Trump although he says some of the stupidest things. I am a believer that Trump will get reelected in 2020.

I am a Christian. I value all people equally. I believe no one person is greater than another in intrinsic value. That is not to say that some people are not better than others at specific things. I, for one, cannot play a piano to save my life, but I know several people who can. I am a philosopher. If I were not Christian, I would believe in the field of existentialism, the belief that life has no particular meaning and that you must make one. I am a believer in facts, not opinions. If you do not have facts to back up an opinion and just use emotions, or pathos for those English nerds, then I will not be inclined to listen to you. Facts are important. I am a believer that discourse is the number one most important thing to the United States at this present moment. Discourse can drive political discussion, but screaming and yelling is counterproductive and plainly childish and stupid.

Now what am I not?

I am not a socialist. I believe Bernie Sanders is a dreamer and all of his "facts" are plainly incorrect. For example, his calling the Nordic Countries a "utopia" is completely incorrect. The Nordic Countries socialist structures are driven behind capitalist ideals and supported through capitalism. I am not a democrat. I am not in support of any socialized health care. I do not believe it works.

So this is who I am. Enough to fill up almost 500 words. Wow.

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.
