Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

The curious case of Aaron Hernandez

Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

After watching the three-part Netflix docuseries "Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez", I was left with more questions after than I was before.

If you have not watched the series, I highly recommend it to anyone. I'm not even a huge crime documentary person, but I have now watched it twice in a month.

I can remember back in the summer of 2013 when Aaron Hernandez was first arrested, sitting in the dentist's office and knowing that this particular news was different. When you hear about a high case murder and you want to see coverage on it, you often think to turn on CNN or Fox News or whatever popular news channel. You would never think to turn on ESPN. However, that's where this story was being covered.

I can remember everyone feeling very strongly about the situation regardless of which side of the situation you stood. I had my opinion too just like everyone else and I let that affect the way that I watched the series the first time. I had made my opinion beforehand I wasn't able to open myself to the other side. On my second watch, I was more unbiased.

Aaron Hernandez was accused of three murders on two separate occasions and killed himself in prison so that his family could get money. When you hear that, you think that Aaron Hernandez was a monster. (Which he very much could be). However, when you hear the whole story that is on Netflix, it really makes you think.

Aaron Hernandez was an all-star athlete, NFL star, and influence to many. He had so much going for him and lost it all.

After everything from the series, I feel that deep down there was a good guy inside of Aaron Hernandez. I know that he cared for people and I know that he loved his family, but at the same time, he was a murderer. Aaron Hernandez did unspeakable things, but there was something about him that you wanted to root for.

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.
