“I vote in every general election, but I’m not a party member or an ideologue. I’ve never told anyone who I’ve voted for,” Brian Lamb
Lets face it, last night was one of the most stressful nights of this country’s life. Whether you voted left or right, you were still on edge the entire night awaiting the final result of who would be running our country the next 4 years. We really don’t have the best options at hand and the world as we know it is falling apart.
The world may be falling apart, the elections may have been sh*t this year, and we might have just elected a man that half the country thinks is a rapist, but I am only betting on one thing; myself. I put the votes out on me, because in a world this chaotic, scandalous, and evil the only person who can make my own life better is myself.
As electing myself to take this major responsibility of governing a life in a generation ruled by social media, I vow to treat others with respect (unlike our electees), keep my word to myself and to people in my life, and to kill the evil with kindness.
Our most powerful weapon we have is the ability to make the world better without instilling fear in the minds of those around us. I elect myself, I vote for myself, and I will choose myself day after day during this time of the election year.
The only person we can truly count on is ourselves, so my energy will go into making myself the best human I can be that means I can treat the rest of America with the same respect I give myself.
We are a nation falling apart.
“Let’s Make America Great Again” starts from within.
Once we learn how to act civilized and know how to handle situations with dignity and not flames, we will become a nation that is strong enough to govern themselves without worrying about what crazy maniac, man or woman, runs our country.
Of course we will still worry, but if we are strong enough, intelligent enough, and courageous enough, we will be able to handle situations peacefully.
When I stop feeling like I am living in an everyday episode of the Purge, I will start believing that everyone is in this together for the right reasons again, instead of being offended by every meme on Facebook.
I am voting for myself, because if we all started voting for ourselves everyday, we would all realize that the true act of change in America begins from within-what we believe, perceive, and what we continue to contribute for the world.
