Bad Year To A Good Year

End of the Grieving Year

33
Bad Year To A Good Year
Dreamstrime

So the year has come to an end, and everyone can breathe a tiny bit easier. This year has actually been the worst possible year considering the deaths. 2017 is closing in fast so I can finally say goodbye to this crappy year and say hello to a year that I hope will be a whole lot better.

Now before anyone says anything, this isn't about the election. To be honest we've voted for some bad presidents in the past. But this article is about everyone and all the bad things that have happened this year. Seriously, we've had youtubers, actors, singers and wrestlers die. This year to me has just been one big grieving time to remember those who've passed. Literally I thought we were done until Carrie Fisher died. Who's next, Betty White?

Seriously the two that impacted me the most was Christina Grimmie and Prince. Christina shocked me since she was a contestant on The Voice and a YouTuber, and when she was murdered it was after her concert in Orlando. Really? She was one of those people who wanted to make a difference. Prince was Prince. Seriously he is a legend of music. I literally wanted him to do at least one more tour. He was my mother's favorite person in the world. I've always wanted to know why he was so popular because everyone knew him, even if I've never heard his music.

Any possible way you think about this year, it's been nothing but death. 2017, however, I sincerely hope that this year is the birth of kids who will become legends in the world and a celebration of love, life, friendship, and affection. I hope 2017 is a time for rebuilding, redesign and birth of a new world so we can move on with all of the crap that has happened over this year. I can honestly say everything has been severely dark and sad. Thanks for nothing, 2016, except heartbreak torment and grieving. So in the end, 2016 is going to be gone soon so I'll ask 2017 to please, and I'm begging you, to be great for everyone and everything, please. Cause we can't have another year like this. Seriously we cannot have another year like this one since it was that dang terrible.

Goodbye bad year and hello to a great one.

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.
