When I was 14, I learned that Bill Clinton's advisors blamed his 1980 gubernatorial loss on Hillary not taking his last name and being "feminine" enough (instead of the very obvious answer that Ronald Reagan's landslide victory on the presidential level had down ballot coattails), and it honestly radicalized me. From that age, I always knew I would keep my last name after marriage, no matter how much I loved my husband (and I really do love my husband for the record), and nothing could or has changed my mind in the last 16 years.

Another anecdote re: Hillary that stands out is that during Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, Hillary requested personalized "Hillary RODHAM Clinton" stationery, but Bill's male staffers thought she was uppity (or w/e) so they thought it'd be funny to give her "Hillary Clinton" stationery without her maiden name included because god forbid women aren't solely identified by their husbands' names.

So, Hillary sent the stationery back and asked them to add the "Rodham" in, and they once again came out with "Hillary Clinton" stationery. This back-and-forth went on a few times until she got fed up and told her her husband his staffers were incompetent and he stepped in and flat out told them that his wife outranked all of them and they had to listen to her. Bill shouldn't have had to do that! These male staffers should have just done it right the first time but they loathed the idea of a woman having any authority over them and acted out.

Like, this is how we know the Clinton Kill List isn't real; if it was, a whole lot of people would be dead who are (unfortunately) still alive and well.

“Meanwhile, there was speculation in the news about the State of the Union address that night. Would the President mention the scandal? (He would not.) Would members of Congress boycott the speech? (Only a few did, although some Republicans sat on their hands all night.) Would the First Lady show up to support her husband? You bet I did.” — HRC, Living History

This Isn’t a Billary Story

I just got scammed on Facebook. I was supposed to go back to my hometown—six hours away from where I study—but instead, I spent my travel money on supplies to sell flowers for Valentine’s Day. This marks one year since I started selling, and unfortunately, my first time being scammed. I know I’m partly to blame for trusting too easily. The seller’s post had testimonials just five hours before I placed my order, and I believed it.

Now, I’m here, crafting flowers for customers who can afford to send a little extra love to their special someone—or even to themselves—while I sit alone in my dorm, trying not to think of myself as foolish. Instead, I’m choosing to see this as a hard but valuable lesson. Here’s to resilience, to growth, and to hoping for brighter days (and smarter business deals) ahead. 🌸

One thing Billary has taught me is that no matter how tough life gets or how alone you feel, there’s power in realizing that someone out there has it worse.
