I should probably start out by stating that I am not a feminist, and I am okay with that. I am also okay with people standing up for what they believe in. The only issue that I have come across with lately is the inequality behind people stating their own opinions. If you want to get involved in a protest, go ahead, but it needs to be understood that it is okay for people to not be on the same page as you.

Furthermore, I have recently seen on the news that the Wall Street Bull statue has received a neighbor named 'The Fearless Girl,' and I am all for it. I am not all for it because of the heightened fight between women’s rights at the moment, but I am because everyone should be able to stand up to a bull. No matter the age, the gender, the issue, we are all strong enough to take down the toughest bull that we come across in our life.

I am also for it being a little girl because there is no better way to symbolize a fight than with a masculine, strong bull and a little girl who is seemingly vunerable. This statue should not be a symbol for a girl fighting a guy. This statue should be a symbol for the equality of any person fighting any battle the way that they want to. Democrat, Republican, Independent, female or male, we all fight daily issues. If that issue has the strength of the bull, you fight it with the confidence that you build in your own soul, not because it is against someone that you do not particularly like for their beliefs.

Yes, I understand that many people are worried about the inequality between women and men. But I am only wanting to shape the view of this statute before it might be taken down next week. If it does get taken down, it should not be a thought that it is against women. If the statue stays there, it should not be a thought that it is against the power of Wall Street.

'The Fearless Girl' statue should be thought of as an incredible movement in our society today. Not for any particular

type of right, but for the power of hope within our hearts, our jobs, and our nation.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
