PSA: How to be a Good Friend and Find Good Friends
For a large portion of my life, the people who I considered my friends weren’t actually very kind to me, but I didn’t know what the rules of friendship were and whether this was normal or not so I kept them around. I was taught by my parents that making friends was easy, so I thought that horrible, manipulative people truly just had my best interest at heart. I think even the best of us struggle with this sometimes, so I put together a few tips to hopefully help you out. Feel free to share this with people if you find it useful.

We even elected our first black president in 2008! These are truly wonderful achievements, and certainly what Martin Luther King Jr. strived for, but is this all that he dreamed of?

Dear Donny Boy
Dear Donald Trump, The day you were elected is a day that I will never forget. I still remember the intense emotions of hatred and fear running their course through my high school. I remember my own friends gathered in a circle, worriedly looking at their phones and reading the news of your first of many attacks on the LGBT+ community. We were too young to vote, we were helpless, and for the next four years we would have to suffer the mistake that was you and your leadership.
