Epstien's Death: What We Know So Far

Former billionaire and Wall Street Money Manager Jeffery Epstien passed away in his jail cell over the weekend and his life was just as shady as his death.

He was born in January of 1953 in New York City, to a pair of working class parents. Eventually he would rise above that and become a powerful Wall Street Figure.

The Me Too movement uncovered horrific tales of sexual abuse on minors, as it has for so many other rich and powerful men in the upper sections of American society and culture. The court documents state that the youngest victim was 14 years old. Epstien was known to spend time with other famous, powerful men, including Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey, among others. He owned an island where some of these assaults took place, as well as a plane called "The Lolita Express", named after the infamous novel about a pedophile.

He was eventually arrested and placed on suicide watch after he was found unconscious in his cell, with marks that were deemed to be self inflicted around his neck.

On August 10th, 2019, Epstien was found dead in his cell and guards desperately attempted to revive him upon discovery. An autopsy was done, but the results are pending at this time.

While we sadly will never get to see Epstien go to trial, it appears that his alleged co-conspirators, and even those who worked at the prison where he died, It may be that prison guards falsified records relating to the death of the inmate and it appears that a few prison guards have already acquired defense attorneys.

Only time will tell what will happen, but it appears that even though Epstien has died, there is still justice to be had. Both for the crimes that Epstien allegedly committed on his island and his private plane, as well as for potential negligence or a cover up in his death. There are many pieces to the puzzle already found, and perhaps there are still more to be uncovered. For now however, it continues to be a bizarre and confusing case.

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.
