Dear Donald Trump my pussy grabs back and it's for more than just my rights.

Mr. Trump there are many reasons to why I don’t think you should be the 45th President, but that’s not what I want to talk about, what I want to talk about is what has been bothering me lately.

My right as a human being is to have rights, and as a woman it really bothers me that nowhere in the constitution does says that legally I have the same rights as a man. It irritates me that women make 78 cents to every $1 a man makes for the same exact job. It upsets me that girls are taught to walk in groups instead of alone because we fear of being attacked. It horrifies me that we have so many hate crimes, whether it’s gay, transgender, religious. The thing is, this battle is something I really don’t think should be, I believe that there are so many issues in the world and this just should not be one of them. Clearly that the world isn’t perfect, but it shouldn’t be this hard for women to be just as equal as men, and there shouldn’t be so much hate and violence all the time.

Mr. Trump it bothers me that the things you’ve said, and done cause hate across all social platforms and norms. You make disgusting comments that my guy friends make when they’re drunk, and trust me I hold them accountable for what they say. It’s just you’re running for the President of the Untied States, and they’re 20-year-old college boys who laugh at the word fart. That, while in an interview with Megyn Kelly, whom asked you a question about calling women you don’t like “slobs” and “disgusting animals”, and instead of being serious, you replied “Only Rosie O’Donnell” and proceeded to laugh along with the crowd, when you knew it was more than just her. You thought that making fun of a person because of their weight was a good way to respond while running for our presidency.

I really do believe that you are a part of the war on women, I do think the way you talk about a lot of people is so wrong. You are showing that it's okay to disrespect another person. That even though you said the words “grab them by the pussy” in 2005, when you apologized, after you said you were “sorry”, you said, “but I really am a great person”. You never just apologize, you always follow it by an excuse or that even though it happened, you’ve done some other good things in life which makes up for it (which it doesn’t). I get that people change and we all say dumb things, but you just don’t ever stop and just say you are sorry, and honestly even my 2-year-old cousin knows he has to apologize when he does something wrong.

I want you and everyone who supports Trump, to know the reason why I don’t. I understand that he is now my President, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept the way he talks about other people. As a president I do believe that you should be more morally upstanding than the average man and woman, not less. You are here to serve as our President, meaning to protect our fellow citizens, not harass or make them feel less because of their flaws. I am going to hold you accountable for your actions. “When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose” - Meryl Streep.

Mr. Trump, you say you want to “Make America Great Again” so all I ask is that you do. I hope you succeed, and maybe prove the people who don’t support you now wrong. To my fellow Trump supporters, stop supporting him when he makes these poor comments about others by laughing with him, it’s wrong. The way I look at it, if I don’t want to be treated that way, if I don’t want my family, friends, and future children to be treated that way, then no one should be. Finally, just remember the that rise of equality for women will not mean the fall of men, and I really do believe in making America great again.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
