Dear JK Rowling, Thank You

Thank you for writing my favorite book series.

Dear J.K. Rowling, thank you.

Thank you for writing my favorite book series. Being immersed into the wonderful world of magic has made my life better. Ever since third grade when my teacher read us the books, I was hooked. I was old enough to read the last two books on my own and finished each one in three days. I sat inside on beautiful summer days reading and devouring your words. I cried when Dumbeldore and Dobby died. This world you created was now my world and I was so sad when the story of Harry, Ron, and Hermione was closed. This past summer and fall have been a wonderful reintroduction to the wizarding world. The Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts were breathtaking. I will continue to live as a child for as long as the wizarding world exists.

Thank you for helping others who are less fortunate than you. It is remarkable that someone with fame and money could use their money and fame to help others. You are truly incredible. For my birthday I wanted a Lumos shirt so I could the children in orphanages because these children deserve a chance at life and they cannot have that if the orphanages are in poor conditions.

Thank you for speaking your mind politically. There are so many people who do not have the privilege the platform you do. It doesn't matter that you are speaking about America which you do not reside. Policy in America affects everyone.

Thank you for telling it like it is. Someone tweeted that they were burning all of your books and dvds and you replied with you already got the money for them. This was hilarious and I loved that it wasn't meant to be greedy. This person thought they could hurt you by burning your books. Isn't it a compliment for an author to have their books being burnt?

Thank you for writing a story of good vs evil that was so complex and deep that I cried when it was over. The way everything fits together, in the end, is incredible.

Thank you for pointing out the similarities between politics in Harry Potter and in today's world. I appreciate every single tweet that you cleverly come up with. Knowing you are on the side of the people and justice makes me admire you more.

Lastly, thank you for teaching me about hope when it feels like there is no hope left in the world. Harry Potter will always hold a special place in my heart and I will never forget how much it has impacted my life.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
