We all know what has been happening in the past few days. However, this is the same issue that we have been dealing with for years. I understand there is a lot of hatred in the world. However, I want to take the time to recognize someone in my life. This is a person whom I have known practically my entire life. We grew up together, lost touch and somehow ended back up in each others lives.

Mike, thank you. You are now a cop and protecting everyone and yourself at all times. When we are together, we do not act differently. It does not matter what your profession is. What matters is, the fact that you have a heart and you are genuinely a great person. I am lucky to call you one of my best friends.

Every time you work, no matter what the issue is, I always say be careful. Because you never know what will happen at the day in the office. One of your first jobs was in the city on New Years Eve. We were texting and snapchatting for most of the night. You were in great spirits knowing what was happening to this world. I saw you smile and enjoy your time. I know how much you love your job. (It also helps with the fact that you spend your money on your cars).

Recently, I have been praying that everything is the world would seize and just stop. I want happiness for all. Everybody matters, and not every cop or person is bad. I want people to realize this.

We need to stop being judgmental and jumping to conclusions.

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.
