ICYMI: The Chilling Marina Joyce Story
NME


Becoming a Youtuber is something many Millenials turn to as a way to access fame and fortune from the comfort of their homes. They earn money through ads, promos, and views. Popular youtubers are essentially internet celebrities, with fans who would worship the ground they walk on, or in this case, the camera lens they talk in to.Youtube fans are very observant, especially when it came to 19-year-old Marina Joyce, a British Youtuber with over one million subscribers. Lately, watchers have notices suspect things going on with her videos, as well as her social media. The video that had people buzzing was her "Date Outfit Ideas" video which now has 21 million views. Throughout the video, viewers saw Joyce often looking off the camera and even a mysterious finger that can be seen in the lower left corner of the picture with what appeared to be a script.



Also in the video, Joyce has bruises on her arms, which led some people to believe that she has been experiencing domestic abuse by her boyfriend while others believe she is on some type of drug. More observant viewers have closed in on a certain moment in the video where you could hear a very faint whisper saying "Help me" while the camera was off her face. Viewers have also pointed out that in her "Questions And Answer" video, Joyce is speaking unusually fast and every time she answers a question, the full answer is cut off by the editing and almost every time she answers, she looks off the camera again.


Lastly, in her "Every Day Makeup Tutorial" video (with again, worse editing than viewers are used to from her), you can see a large rifle in the background leaning on her dresser.


On Joyce's Instagram, she's allegedly posted older pictures of herself and "hasn't exactly been herself" according to her fans on Twitter. Some have even claimed that her social media and possibly her YouTube channel is being run by someone who isn't her. This led to "#savemarinajoyce" trending on Twitter. After a day of people panicking over her wellbeing, Marina Joyce finally sent her first tweet addressing the situation:


Later that week, Joyce wanted to throw a party at 6:30AM next Wednesday. Viewers apparently misunderstood her and thought she meant that upcoming Wednesday, but it was warned that the meetup could be a setup. Some have even rumored for it to be another ISIS terrorist plot. On Wednesday and Thursday, she did a live stream chat to address some of the concerns people had about her. She says that the finger was her mother's and that it was her mother whispering behind the camera. She also postponed the party until next Saturday "regarding recent events".

People were left feeling a variety of emotions. Some felt relieved that she was not in danger, others felt angry because they then believed that this was all a publicity stunt for Marina Joyce to get more views and subscribers. Some even felt that people were just paranoid about the whole situation and there was nothing to worry about from the start.

But was she faking the whole time? Or is there some truth to madness? Joyce has stated that she was happy by the fact that the situation gave her YouTube channel more exposure but she has also said that she has been experiencing personal issues lately. Some are believing the possibility that she could have schizophrenia.

If you missed that long story, it was probably for the best that you did to not risk your sanity.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
