Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

Saying goodbye to one of my favorite artists.

Mac Miller, My Favorite Artist, Is Dead... And I'm Not OK

I first discovered Mac Miller back in 2011 when he first released his album, "Blue Slide Park." I fell in love with the song "Missed Calls" and I've been a huge fan of his ever since.

You can imagine the feelings I have right now after hearing of his death.

Mac was that type of artist that always made a hard day not seem so bad anymore. He was my go-to for when I needed to cheer up my spirits, release all my emotions, or even focus on studying for a test. He never made a bad album, released a weak song, or disappointed his fans.

His music was not only an inspiration for people like me but for other artists as well. He helped other artists to find their sound, launch their career, and was always there when a friend needed him. "I don't know what to say. Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond launching my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. I'm completely broken. God bless him," stated Chance The Rapper.

Mac Miller was a good person. He truly did not deserve this life.

I had the privilege of getting to see him perform on his last tour for his previous album "The Divine Feminine" and it was clear that he wasn't there to perform for the money, but to put on his best show to thank his fans for always being there. Instead of letting the fame get to him, Mac did his very best to give back to his fans in every way he could.

He may be gone, but his impact on my world will never disappear.

Album after album, Mac Miller has continued to touch my heart for seven years. Finding the words to say goodbye to an artist like him is nearly impossible. While his continuance to make music is gone, he blessed our world with eight beautiful albums, filled with life lessons that everyone can relate to.

It's up to us to have his music live on. It's up to us to let the young man from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania have the impact that he always wanted. We cannot let that die too.

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.
