Work-life Balance definitions:
Work = activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.
Life = a particular type or aspect of human existence.
Balance = a situation in which different elements are equal, or in the correct proportions.

Different = not the same as another or each other; unlike in nature, form, or quality.
Element = essential or characteristic part of something abstract

To My Republican Friends:
As a Bernie Sanders supporter who’s consumed daily with politics, I’ve come to appreciate the common threads between Sanders’ supporters and Trump supporters. We are both are disillusioned by the politicians and systems we have been given.
I don’t particularly care for Hilary and I feel increasingly apathetic about my choices as a Democrat, I really wish we could save our “First Female President” title for someone less blemished.
