I Have A Crush On Paul Ryan

But his good looks couldn't save that bill.

I Have A Crush On Paul Ryan
Gregg Segal

My name is Savanna Strott, I am eighteen years old, and I have a crush on Paul Ryan.

It's not thatweird. He’s been in congress since 1999 , he is the Speaker of The House - third in line for president - and basically the crush of the American people (or at least the people of Wisconsin).

For me, the attraction has nothing to do with his political actions, party, nor ideology: not a fan of that health bill, just a fan of that face.

I mean, just look at that cute, smiling face. He looks so innocent and like someone who wouldn't aggressively push such a terrible health bill just to sit and watch it fail.

He's a model politician: handsome (and people like good-looking people), a husband, a father. It's traits like these that make him attractive to his district in Wisconsin and attractive to me.

Oh, if politics could only be about good looks and Americanness. Then, Paul, you would take the cake and the oval office.

But unfortunately, when people vote, they tend to remember some political blunders such as this one. Plus, that “America Dad” persona just might be tarnished due to your proposed bill wanting to hurt maternity coverage. And old people like to vote, but they do not like to pay to pay an “age tax” that was in your proposed bill. But brighten up sunshine; there’s still a lot of time between now and the 2018 elections. People could forget, and your good looks could pull you through again. No need to listen to “Last Resort”.

So you may be safe for another reelection, but sorry, Paul, even your sea green eyes couldn't sell me (or anyone) on that horrible health bill.

It’s been a tough week for you bud. In fact, the past 6 months have been pretty difficult: you didn’t want Trump in office, Trump became your president, that audio leak came out, your health bill flopped, and the internet is making fun of you.

It’s okay. It’ll turn out alright. Maybe some people think you are a bad guy who hates moms and the elderly, but at least a random 18 year outside of your district old finds you attractive. That's enough to make you feel better, right?

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
