A Letter To United Airlines

No, this is not a angry rant

Dear United Airlines, when I first read about and even watched the video of the incident with the man you kicked off the plane and then continued to beat down and yell at I was appalled and very upset. At first it was very inhumane to me that a huge airline company would do something so terrible but now after thinking it through I'm no longer upset with your Airline company. To those of you who still think I'm crazy for not hating United let me break it down for you. If a cop pulls you over and tells you to get out of the car and you just sit there and don't listen what do you think is gonna happen? You're probably going to get dragged out and beat if necessary. When someone of authority tells you to do something you do it, it doesn't matter what the reason is. If you just follow what they say then nobody is gonna get hurt. The airport security told the man that he had to get off the plane, he didn't listen. It doesn't matter if he was a doctor. He resisted and had to be dragged off a plane and he got hurt for not simply listening. Do I think that United could've handled this situation in a better way? I mean yeah the way they handled it was not the best solution but they were doing their jobs and they are not the bad guys here. The man who was dragged off is not bad either. Listen to authority when they tell you to do something and nobody gets hurt.

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.
