#FreeKesha

No one ever deserves to be put through what she is going through.

#FreeKesha

Most of you have probably heard of the trend "#FreeKesha" going around. If you have not, here's what's going on:

The singer Kesha was sexually harassed by her producer Dr. Luke when she turned 18. She was out clubbing when he drugged her. Kesha brought this up as a report and has gone to court over it so she could be released from her contract with Sony. The court would not release her from the contract but states she will not have to work with Dr. Luke anymore.

An article from Entertainment Weekly states, "The legal battle started in 2014, when Kesha filed a lawsuit against the 42-year-old producer, born Lukasz Gottwald, claiming he sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally assaulted her for a decade. Dr. Luke filed a countersuit — which was dismissed earlier this month — claiming Kesha and her manager planned to extort him. Because of Friday’s ruling, Kesha may have to record more albums with Dr. Luke if she wants to release music. In response, the hashtag #FreeKesha trended on Twitter, with many stars weighing in and some fans calling for a boycott of Sony Music, which distributes Kesha’s music."

Here are my thoughts on this:

Why? Why would you keep her in a company with the man who has traumatized her? She isn't even asking for him to go to jail; all she wants is a release. For someone to be scared in their workplace is one thing, but for a government to say they don't care about her trauma or how she feels is another. Most likely, almost every time she sees Dr. Luke, she is triggered; maybe even when she walks into work she is reminded and triggered.

I hope that justice is given to Kesha, and that she is free of this. She is in my prayers and I hope yours too, because this should not be happening to anyone.

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.
