Not My Guy

All guys do not think the same.

Not My Guy
Jessica Fuqua

One of the reasons I love my boyfriend is because he is a respectable, God loving gentleman. There are many guys out in the world that don't think twice about the words that come out of their mouths or the way that they view and treat women. Since the Donald Trump recording, where he spoke about sexually assaulting women, leaked, I have witnessed both in person and online this debate in which males are defending his actions as something that "all guys do."

I'd like to take the time to point out that, no, all guys do not do that. They don't speak about women in a disgusting manner. They don't talk about women as if we are possessions. Don't group all guys in the same ship. The majority may view and treat women a certain way, but they don't represent every man. Guys, I understand you're trying to stick up for your fellow bros, but please don't stick up for them when they're in the wrong.

What Donald Trump said was wrong. I have said it before, I'm not voting for him or Hillary. If you're voting for one of them based on the party they're running for, go ahead. But don't defend your candidate when they are in the wrong. Don't sit there and brush Trump's disgusting comments off as "talk." Don't tell me that, "Yeah, he may have done wrong, but what so-and-so did was worse." Every wrong is equal in the eyes of the Father. I know none of us are perfect; I fall short daily. I know that we all say things that we shouldn't say at times. If I said something that I shouldn't, I will admit my wrongdoing, as I should. And someone will make sure to point out that I was wrong.

I'm thankful that I have a man in my life who is humble and honest. I'm thankful that he makes sure that he is open about his actions and admits when he is in the wrong. Most of all, I'm thankful that he doesn't let the world cloud his judgment. He is strong-minded and leads a faith-based life.

I'm proud to be his girlfriend. I'm blessed to be able to call him mine.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
