P!NK, You Were The Perfect Choice For The National Anthem

Thank you for showing young girls what power and strength on the T.V. screen looks like.

In a society that is starting to understand women’s equality and rights, P!NK’s songs are the anthems for empowering women to know their true worth. Without ever having a huge scandal, she’s been an idol without disruption.

She has never let America down in a way that has abused her fame or her name. She understands that raising her daughter is the single most important thing in her life which is why she focuses her time and speeches on her daughter. She also recognizes the greats of the past such as Whitney Houston as she said that was her inspiration for singing at the Super Bowl.

Furthermore, she was the perfect depiction of how strong Americans are as she was struggling to sing through the National Anthem after contracting the flu. She powered through an awful flu bug because she knows her priorities and her strength. She showed up with a smile on her face and sang through the pain because that’s what Americans do.

Even though things may get us down, we power through them for what we know is important and what we have our eyes set on. When we have plans and hopes, we let nothing get in our way.

Furthermore, P!NK was not sexualized in her outfit. She wore a modest pink army printed suit without excessive cleavage or tightness. She looked beautiful without sending the message that we need to be sexual in order to be as beautiful as her. She showed that she has more to her than what appears to the eye because she had both class and confidence. She may not be the youngest and most up and coming artist, but she’s one of the most inspirational and strongest. She’s stuck around for so long because of her ability to remain true to herself and her music.

P!NK, thank you for showing young girls what power and strength on the T.V. screen looks like.

Thank you for showing men that women are much more than just their bodies (even though you are beautiful and COULD flaunt it if you wanted to). P!Nk, thank you for being a beautiful soul without having to class it down. Thank you for keeping the high-level of class that you have proven to have throughout all of time.

Your smile is what captures all of your beauty and intelligence. I can tell you are a kind soul every time you flash a smile because it appears genuine and doesn’t only look directly at the camera. It’s so fun to watch you perform because your facial expressions are so deep and personal, even if we are many, many miles away from each other.

Even if you are performing in front of millions of people and there’s only one of you, can feel the connection to your soul that you share with so many of your fans because you are a genuine artist, which is incredibly difficult to find in this day and age.

You’ve always been an inspiration for me to find my inner strength and independence as a woman and an effective member of society. Your songs are my anthems for whether it’s getting over a breakup, gaining confidence, finding motivation, and the list goes on and on. You are my idol because of what you have accomplished and how relatable your songs are. Thank you for sharing your lyrical genius and experiences with us who can relate. Your confidence and sense of self is something that you’ve worked hard to achieve and is something I hope to achieve some day as well.

Thank you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
