Another "Dear Book, I'm Sorry"

Sometimes ideas come and go, and we're left with fragments.

Another "Dear Book, I'm Sorry"

In which Dorothy Gale is a problem:

The realms were torn apart by the sudden cyclones.

No one was prepared: Wonderland, the Enchanted Forest, Earth, Neverland, Arendale, Corona, and even Oz—where they came from—were almost damaged beyond repair.

Until then all of the worlds coincided in peace. Trade prospered, relations were maintained, and for the most part, problems were easily worked through, if there were even any at all.

If the people freely offered their unfiltered thoughts, they all would agree that they thought that Wonderland was going to be the place that broke and would start to harass the others.

Not that each realm didn't have their dark sides—everyone did.

For example:

Peter Pan is the only one that never ages. He has a tendency to end the lost boys who got too old, as well as the pirates who try to save them. Captain Hook is the only one who managed to escape, but it was at the price of his hand.

Wonderland has the Red and White Queens, sisters who are constantly at war with each other over some sort of event in their pasts. The Hatter refuses to leave his home, devastated after the attack on the land from the Jabberwocky; the Cheshire Cat has disappeared, although rumors have begun to spread that it's preying on innocent hikers; and there hasn't been a new Alice since the old one left.

The Enchanted Forest has her evil queen, Helena, and Rumpelstiltskin. The two have been terrorizing the kingdom sense Helena took the throne. The only way that the kingdom has survived is through the efforts of her people, those who were brave enough to stand against the duo's combined magic.

Arendale's ice queen is still learning the extent of her abilities, which not only caused a catastrophic deep freeze in the middle of their summer but the rebellion of their people. After some convincing, Lumi managed to regain the trust of her people, but not without a price.

Corona harbors the powerful witches Gothel and Rowena, the both of them responsible for the disappearances of uncountable amounts of children. Gothel managed to procure the princess, her healing powers keeping the witch alive until a thief managed to save her.

Earth? It has giants. Ever since Dorothy was taken to Oz by the cyclone, a portal has been open, allowing the foul creatures to descend on their beanstalks and wreak havoc on the towns around them. The original Jack has long been passed, but another stands in his place.

And Oz? Oz may be the worst. After Dorothy returned home, she immediately wanted to come back, her family dismissing her as crazy after she recounted her adventures following the yellow brick road. Glinda, after seeing the girl's distress and pain, decided to bring her back to Oz in an effort to protect her.

And nothing has been the same sense.

Something in Dorothy's heart darkened, and that darkness spread across Oz.

This caused all of the realms to come to a unanimous consensus:

Dorothy. Must. Die.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
