A Letter To Christina Grimmie's Brother

Your act of heroism needs to be recognized.

A Letter To Christina Grimmie's Brother
OK Magazine

The night of June 10, 2016, is something you will never forget. A normal night after a show gone wrong.

Your sister, your best friend, was killed tragically doing what she loved. I would say sorry, but I know you've heard that word over and over and must be getting tired of it.

I cannot imagine ever losing my younger brother. He's one of the most important people in my life.

I applaud your act of heroism for attacking the shooter from the moment she got shot. By the looks of it, you didn't think twice. It was instant.

Not only did you save the hundreds of lives at the venue, but you made sure that the shooter didn't get away from the horrific crime he committed. It is said that he planned to return home two hours away like nothing happened.

It disgusts me that someone would even think about harming her. She seemed like an absolute sweetheart. She even greeted him open arms, not knowing his intentions.

I know you're going to have guilt for the rest of your life because you couldn't save her. Don't. You didn't know this was going to happen. No one did. You saved many other lives that night.

I hope that her tragic death makes a change of security in venues. There needs to be stricter security at concerts, especially general admission ones.

As someone who goes to general admission concerts a lot, I know that they don't really check what's in our bags or do a body check.

It may take longer, but I think it is worth it.

I know that Christina is looking down on you and is proud of your actions that night.

The next couple of months are going to be rough, I'm not going to lie, but take it day by day. It will be OK. She's your guardian angel, looking after you, your parents, friends and fans.

She's an inspiration to many. I don't know if this will give you peace or not, but she died doing what she loved, being with her fans.

God bless.

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.
