Hurricane Matthew & Other Events Of 2016
Mykindarain

So far this year there have been many worldwide events that have occurred including presidential debates, Kim Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint in Paris, clowns terrorizing our streets, and more recently, with Hurricane Matthew having ravaged everything in its path. There has been so much going on, and 2016 is not yet over, warranting for many other things to come.

In regards to the presidential debates, elections are coming up next month in November, so results are that are pending. I don't know about you, but I definitely do not want Trump running our country with his racist, cynical, and sexist opinions.

As far as Kim Kardashian West on the other side of the world, what happened to her is something that I would not wish on my worst enemy, so sympathy and regards go out to her and her family. May Kim's bodyguard fulfill his promise to the Kardashian family and find those who brought on this havoc.

As far as the whole clown thing goes, everyone better know that I'll be staying home in my comfy bed on Halloween night and not facing the dangers out there brought on by this disguise consuming the country. I have seen enough horror movies in my lifetime to know that those who go out looking for trouble will most surely find it.

Onto another issue, there were many evacuations taking place in South Carolina and Georgia as Florida was being demolished by Hurricane Matthew. As far as news reports go, flooding took place in most of the regions in the South East, and not only has it affected America, but it has affected Haiti as well. Many lives have been lost, as well as many homes. Over 500 lives were lost in Haiti, and 43 were lost in the United States, so prayers out to those lives lost and to their families.

With only a few months left in 2016, there is still much room for more events like these to occur. The hurricane season is still ongoing, Kim Kardashian West's assailants are still at large, clowns are still terrorizing the country, and elections are still yet to take place. 2016 has been one heck of a ride, so fasten your seatbelts folks, and be prepared for more to come.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
