With all that's happening in today's society, it seems like men are starting to feel a little frightened.

But, why?

Is it that they've done something in their past that is shameful and they're afraid someone now has enough courage to speak out? I mean why feel afraid if you have nothing to hide, right?

The only reason to be scared in today's world is if you've done something wrong.

Women are coming out and speaking about their traumas and experiences for a reason. They want their voices to bring about change.

A world in which men respect women and respect their choices.

Imagine a world where women can walk alone to their car at night, go to a party alone, or simply feel comfortable enough to walk down the street without getting bothered.

The only way to move towards a world that is loving and not demeaning towards women is to point out what is unacceptable. If something traumatic has happened to a woman and she has enough bravery to speak about it, no matter how long ago it happened, we should listen and support her.

If we are going to try to make a better world for future generations we have to make a change now. We have to speak out about what is unacceptable so everyone can learn from it. There will be consequences for actions and that should be kept in mind when someone makes a horrible decision.

If people keep getting away with the wrongs they committed, we will not create a change that betters society. People will believe their actions won't catch up to them and what they do now does not matter.

So I'm sorry to the men who feel frightened, but maybe don't give yourself a reason to be scared.

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.
