Disclaimer: I am going to try to type this without stating my political opinions or where my vote is going. I am in no way shape or form looking for a debate. I am not speaking for every individual American, because I know that not one person thinks or acts the same as the other.

Tomorrow is election day. Tomorrow we decide the commander in chief for the next 4 years. Tomorrow we decide who has a say in our future. We will decide who will be the expected ultimate role model and our leader.

This election has ripped America into a hundred different pieces. We are no longer standing together in unison. Our different views and our frustrations towards other's views have turned most of us into overly opinionated, egotistical, selfish Americans. If Donald Trump is our next president, we will still be Americans. If Hillary Clinton is our next president, we will still be Americans.

It is an obvious statement to say that both candidates have their faults. I think where we went wrong is when we started to hate the opposing candidate so much that we became blind to the candidate that we support, and we became numb to his or her faults. I know where my vote is going, and I fully understand and accept the dangers and the concerns that will come with this candidates presidency.

My argument is this: I respect everyone's different political opinions and views. However, if you sit in front of me and say to my face that the candidate that you support is an all around positive role model, I will disagree on both ends. As I mentioned before, both candidates have their faults, they have told their lies, they have made promises that they can't keep, and they have torn each other down piece by piece to make him or her seem like the lesser of two evils. If you cannot admit that, you're not fooling me, yourself or America.

Lately, not only has our country been lacking a little love, but our entire planet has been experiencing some negativity. Now a days, the media gets to pick and chose what consumers know and how they think. Unfortunately, the media loves to publish articles and stories based on plain old bad news. While it is important to pay attention to the reality of the world and how cruel it can also be, as humans, we should also pay just as much attention to the positivity and love that the world can bring. Every once in a while, I think I would like to do this, just to give a splash of love in your day.

This post is slightly personal, and not very formal. You've been warned!
I started blogging over a year ago. I've had many other URL's with content that I absolutely hated. I'm currently in school aiming towards a degree in communication. If you were to ask me what track I wanted to take, I wouldn't have a clue. But I knew that advertising and blogging fit somewhere in that mix, so I began a blog. I always liked the idea of sharing my opinions and thoughts with the world and hopefully reaching out to someone and helping them where help is needed. I liked the thought of this so much that I started to blog about what every blogger blogs about.
No more! 
If you're looking for a blog with a lot of fancy HQ photos, giveaways, coupon codes and paid adverts, I can direct you to much more professional bloggers here. Maybe one day my blog will consist of these things, but not today. Today, I am going to work on building my blogs personality by putting my personality into these posts. Please, continue to read on and enjoy if you'd like. If not, I'm sorry I couldn't be any help to you, and I hope you find what you're looking for.
 Until then, enjoy your week.

Xo, Joanna
