Why Criminal Minds is Breaking My Heart

I've been hit right in the feels..

Why Criminal Minds is Breaking My Heart
Wikipedia

Tis the season to catch some serial killers! That's right. Criminal Minds, one of my favorite TV shows of all time, had their season 12 premiere this past Wednesday and I have so many emotions about it. I'm happy to see my favorite team back in action, but it's also bittersweet because it will be one of the last times we see the one and only Aaron Hotchner or "Hotch" for short.

This is because over the summer, Thomas Gibson, the actor who plays Hotch allegedly got into an altercation with one of the show writers and was eventually fired from the show. This means leader of the BAU is on his way out the door which is heartbreaking to me. I know that Gibson shouldn't have done whatever he did to the writer and that it was out of line and unprofessional, but my heart breaks for the character on the show. Hotch has been a part of Criminal Minds since the very beginning and I simply can't imagine how him not being on the show is going to change the dynamic.

After Shemar Moore, the actor who played Derek Morgan, left the show at the end of last season I was equally heartbroken! Both Hotch and Morgan have come so far, lost so much, and have given 110% to everything the BAU does. Seeing them leave is hard.

I've seen every single episode of Criminal Minds. Every last one. I can honestly say that this show has some of the most well developed characters in TV history. Each of the agents have had their own struggles that they have dealt with and moved past. These characters don't fit neatly into the stereotypical archetypes you would imagine comes with a show like this. They are so much more dynamic that that.

Basically, Criminal Minds needs to stop breaking my heart for a season or two. I do wish Shemar and Thomas all the best in whatever they do and hopefully the new actors coming into the show will be able to fill those big shoes.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
