Yesterday, while being in New York, my siblings and I found ourselves in the middle of the protestors and Women's March. We were on our way to Rockefeller Center and on the way there ended up in the middle of all the madness. I was astonished that not only here, but all over the world people were marching and protesting the 45th President, Donald Trump. I don't really understand what the Women's March was going to do really, but many people are trying to speak out. I wasn't able to be with my people in LA during the march, but found myself in front of Trump Tower with hundreds of others united for a cause. My heart breaks for this country. It breaks for those who feel they need to stand up and protest because their voice isn't being heard. It breaks my heart that we can't come together and accept who this new president is, but then we wouldn't be a democracy. It breaks my heart that this nation is divided. I didn't vote for Trump, I honestly didn't vote at all. I wanted no part in this election. I still choose not to give my input on the whole matter, but I will say this. Protest or Support Trump, you have the right to say what you feel. If we're going to fight for rights by using the "freedom of speech," let it actually be free for people to say what they feel, even if you don't agree. No one is saying you have to agree, but don't say you're fighting for certain rights while taking others away in the process. Its is is hard for me to feel okay in a Nation that I love that is divided. I believe in Women's Rights, I believe there are things we don't have to agree with, but we can't fight others on what they stand for either. I do know this, History was made on 21/01/17
