Being the Love in a Hateful America

This election has caused many people to start saying some horrible things. Both to and from Trump supporters. Something to note, however, is that everybody, regardless of political views, religion, color, etc. have feelings.

Sometimes, when people have harsh feelings, their judgment gets clouded, and they say extremely hurtful things. All around me, people are saying how much they hate Trump supporters and how rude and outrageous Trump supporters are. Those same people are spewing the same trash they supposedly are "against."

When you let opinions take over your emotions, there typically isn't a good response. I have talked to people who voted for Trump and people who didn't. The one who voted for him, are scared. Scared of what people will do or say to them. Some have said they feel shameful and they feel rejected. They feel rejected by the people blaming them for being judgmental. Problem?

There needs to be peace. Peace on all sides. Non-biased peace. People need to realize that everybody has feelings. Everybody has concerns. Everybody is experiencing the same America. We want unity. We don't want to walk around completely divided. We are one nation under God, regardless of the president.

Moral of the story, love everybody. Just because somebody supports Trump, there is no need to call them stupid, idiot, moron, and other words I can't even bring myself to type. Nobody will solve anything if there is no room for love.

Be the peace.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
