The controversies start...Now!

I Believe Gypsy Rose Deserved Jail Time

Let me start by saying this, I do not think she should have gotten ten years.

I do think that she should be punished for her crime.

With the Hulu series "The Act," this case from a few years ago has been brought back up into everyday conversation and pop culture.

In June 2015, the body of Dee Dee Blanchard was found in her Missouri home with several stab wounds. Gypsy Rose and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, were at his home in Wisconsin. The police found them through his IP address, after writing "The Bitch is dead" on Dee Dee and Gypsy's joint Facebook account.

For years, Gypsy had been mistreated and abused by her mother. She was force-fed medicine, underwent painful surgeries, and was made to act like a child. She was even given an unnecessary feeding tube, that was extremely painful.

After over 20 years of torment, she wanted to break free.

She met Nicholas online, and they developed a secret relationship through hidden video calls. Her boyfriend had displayed several psychological problems in his past, he was at one point medicated. He also masturbated for hours in a McDonalds.

Now, why would I want jail time for an abused and tortured girl?

Well for one, she did commit a crime.

Secondly, Gypsy planned the crime. She made the decision to have her mother be killed. She bought the knife and let Nicholas into the house and into the room. Gypsy literally asked him to kill her mother.

No, what Dee Dee did to Gypsy wasn't right.

Her actions were heinous, and the years of abuse took their toll on Gypsy. Even Dee Dee's family hated her, and reportedly flushed her ashes when they got them.

There was and still is a lot of confusion surrounding this case. Many people have their own opinions. I do believe that Nicholas's punishment was deserved, just as much as I believe that Gypsy deserved to be punished.

She will need help once she gets out of prison, but she needs to be there.

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.
