Yes, He Is Your President, Too

Fortunately, or unfortunately... it's true.

Yes, He Is Your President, Too
PBS

Disgruntled Americans,

Donald J. Trump is YOUR president.

It does not matter what political party you subscribe to.

It does not matter what amount of disdain, or favor, you hold for his policies.

It does not matter what you say, how you protest, or whatever you post.

Fact is, the moment he was sworn in- he was OUR president.

He is acting leader of us, as a nation.

Please understand the large amount of checks and balances in our government that prevent any form of totally radical action taking place.

You can disagree with what he says- but know that our government isn't one to give one man that much power.

So, everyone, please stop with the "He isn't my president".

He is.

He will be for at least the next four years.

Like it or not.

You don't like him?

Don't be him. Make a statement.

Not one with riots, or protests, or hate filled speech.

Make a statement by being unshaken.

So, this is everyone's time.

This is everyone's time to rise and support the leader of our nation.

To support your own future.

Get an education.

Rise above your circumstance.

Stand for what you believe in.

Do what justice you can- where you can.

Love those who hate.

Bring good where you see none.

But, if you desire a better nation, simply hating who is now leading it is not the answer.

Donald J. Trump is our president.

Words I never thought I'd say, and words I'm not too pleased to say either.

But, I ask you to find the strength within you to rise above disappointment and into action.

I ask you to join hands and find the greatness that our new president is hoping to bring.

Let's make America great again.

You don't need to agree with president Trumps platform to make that happen- but make your own.

Create your own greatness, wherever you can.

Be the difference you strive and yell for.

Otherwise, no change will be seen.

I believe in our ability to rise above, despite your agreements (or lack thereof) with leaders.


Most sincerely,

Someone who wants to see America great again.

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.
