Politics... yay

So with the upcoming election, there has been a ton of talk about different political issues. All of my friends seem to identify with the opposite political party than I do, so I feel like lately I have been subtly influenced by their opinions. I don't like this, because I am proud of what I believe and these beliefs have always been a part of who I am. Interestingly, today I have the chance to talk with someone who actually agrees with me. It was refreshing to be able to converse freely without feeling slightly awkward, or holding back what I want to say. Don't get me wrong, I respect everything my friends think and I have actually had some pleasant conversations with them on this topic, as I mentioned in my last post. However, I still felt like I could not freely say what I wanted to. It was nice today to hear someone agree with what I think, since it seems like I am a minority at this school. But anyways, I feel like today I got some sort of reconfirmation of what I have so long believed in.
