Dear Russell Westbrook,

YOU ARE OUR LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

Dear Russell Westbrook,
The Oklahoman

Dear "The Brody,"

So let's get down to it- the Thunder's season isn't ideal this year. Injury after injury has plagued the team and the obvious news from this summer looms over Oklahoma City like a storm cell (pun intended).

You, however, have kept the faith.

Fans still pour into the 'Peake to witness the heart and soul that you and your teammates lay out on the floor every night. Millions across the globe tune in to make sure they don't miss out on the history you're making, and sports analysts can't get enough of the get-out responses you give to the media.

If my sources are correct (see "Google"), your triple-double count has reached 24. The closest number to you at the moment is James Harden's 14.

Yours is the fifth-most sought after NBA jersey in the nation, but I'd wager that it's by far the highest-selling jersey out of all teams in Oklahoma itself.

The fan base has adopted your me-against-the-world mentality. When somebody wrongs one person in the Thunder community- players, coaches, fans- they wrong the whole dang village. That comes with the small-town feel that which Oklahomans are so familiar and the sometimes overwhelming love that we show you and your teammates.

I think I speak for all of us when I ask you to never grow bored of us.

You are our golden child- our prized possession. You motor the whole city! Without the Thunder organization, Oklahoma City would still be the same five-street cow town that we knew 15 years ago.

We will always be here to root for you.

Please, never grow weary of Oklahoma City.

Sincerely,

The Fam

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.
