“The unity of freedom has never relied on uniformity of opinion.” – John F. Kennedy

Many have doubted us. Many have looked upon us with scorn and thought us not only incapable, but invalid. They forgot who we were. Who we are. It seems that the past few years of disagreement and arguments have caused many to lose faith in us, but as I sit here in my window watching the fireworks erupt throughout the night sky I am reminded of a very important thing. We are all family here in America. We all salute the same flag. We all love in the same country. We all put our faith in the same land. Yes, we have grown. Yes, we have fought. Yes, we have torn one another down and hurt ourselves beyond belief and humanly comparison. But, we have also loved our neighbors. We have also stood up for peace. We have also fought for each other. We have also been brave and strong when it seemed we were weak and helpless. See that is the beautiful thing of this land. It does not matter how convoluted it may seem or become… At the end, it is the people within it that lead it to greatness. Whether it be a Hispanic old woman at a supermarket, or a young boy learning to rope a cow. We are all in the same America. We are all breathing the same air. And when we stand to sing that anthem and salute that flag we are one. We are not different races or religions. We are not different political parties or opinions. We are not Right or Left. We are family, we are hope, we are peace, we are happiness. We are the American Dream. Even if it’s a bit different than what it once was. For we are still the land of the free and the home of the brave. That will never change. That will never loop and erase. That fact is one we will proudly hold on to for the rest of our lives. So, here’s to you my beautiful America. May you thrive in this year and in many more to come.

This is me reminding you to stay idiosyncratic and make a change in the country we all adore so much.

Happy 4th of July everyone!🎆
