I cannot seem to go an hour without having to see and hear about all of the heartbreaking and frightening things happening in our current world. Shootings, clown sightings, murders, natural disasters, dying children in foreign countries, and this terrifying election seems to be the only thing the media want to show us. I am here to tell you that we are not completely doomed.

Here are at least 15 positive things also happening in our world today that hopefully make your day of scrolling through the news just a little more enlightening!

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.

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.

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.
