I'm gonna let you finish but...

A rant to Kanye.

I'm gonna let you finish but...

Dear Kanye,

I'm gonna let you finish but... you're the worst.

From hating on Taylor Swift to asking for money via Twitter from Mark Zuckerberg, you are such an interesting person. I wonder if you have any concept of the real world, and if you know any current events. Recent pictures of Kim Kardashian don't count as news.

Declaring you are 53 million dollars in debt is not acceptable in any way, because you aren't. Just because you invested in a failed fashion line because people don't want to buy $800 sweatpants does not mean that the creator of Facebook owes you money. Leave the poor guy alone. Did you know people in Central America have to live off of $2 a day? Do you know the suffering that is happening right now in Syria? Those are the people who need financial help, not you. If you want to dress your family in furs and buy expensive cars, that's your call, but going around asking for money when you don't need it is a crummy thing to do. And to top it off, it's nobody's fault but your own that your fashion line was a failure.

Also, you should probably get to know your children. You have multiple now, and it never seems like you are with them. Do you know their favorite food? Do you know what time they go to bed? You should stop tweeting for a second to see what kind of children you are raising. Would you want your child to read your Twitter rants? Do you think they would be proud of that? Maybe even put some of your fur money toward their future education.

What happened to your humbleness, Kanye? I bet you were humble at the beginning of your music career. You probably took into account every single penny that you came in contact with, and now you have too many, so you forgot the value of them. When I listen to your early music (and yes, as a white female I have listened to some of it) you seem clever, but not angry. Now you seem angry and ranting, and when I listen to your music, I hear a muddled vision for the future. I hate to burst your bubble, but you are not the future president, you are not the most innovative artist out there, and you won't ever be someone I admire.

Kanye, it seems like you want to be a call to change, which I respect, but you need to do it in a more positive way. Having a 12-minute lecture/rant on stage at a concert is just agitating people, not helping whatever social change you want to have.

And please, please, please stop tweeting. Conflict in the Middle East needs to be televised more, not your tweets that don't make any sense.

Sincerely,

A white female you probably dislike

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.
