Dylan Rieder, a very well known professional skateboarder, grew up in Westminster, California. Rieder began skating at the age of nine years old and became a professional skateboarder at the age of eighteen for a brand named Alien Workshop. His big breakout part took place in Transworld Skateboarding's video in 2006 titled A Time To Shine.

Rieder was first diagnosed with leukemia in July 2014. During this year he always filmed the video Supreme - Cherry.

Rieder grew up with his mother and father, and younger sister, Makenna. In March 2015, he received a bone marrow transplant from his sister which resulted into the announcement of remission about a month later. Rieder continued to live his life day to day, skating and even doing some modeling. One of the main advertisements he was known for was when he took part in a spring ad campaign of DKNY along side of Cara Delevinge and Jourdan Dunn. Although the news of remissions was received, the cancer returned in November of 2015. Due to further complications with the leukemia, the skateboarding community, his family and friends all had to say their goodbyes on October 12, 2016 at the young age of 28.

Rieder was known to the community as a down to earth, friendly, incredible person.
Model, Cara Delevinge, came to Instagram with an image of the two from their photoshoot with the caption: "One of the kindest, most down to earth incredible human beings I have ever encountered. You will be missed by so many people. Ride and Rest in Peace Dylan Rieder. "

Fellow professional skateboarder, Tony Hawk, also came to the public about the loss by sharing a video of Rieder with the caption, "Thank you for making skateboarding so much better while you were here, Dylan. Skating like this can't be taught; it is a product of passion, dedication, and innate style. Dylan Rieder had all that and more. "

Even Ozzy Osbourne came to Twitter with a picture and the caption reading, " One of the most talent & brave men. I feel blessed to have known you. Rest in Peace Dylan. My love & condolences to his family. "

Rieder's family have recieved endless condolences and flowers as Dylan Rieder touched the hearts of many and they are nothing but grateful for that. They have asked that donations now be made in his memory to Dr. Stephen Forman, an international expert in leukemia and lymphoma.

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.
