Reaction To Beyonce's Lemonade

Beyonce just recently dropped her new visual album titled Lemonade and the world is in such a frenzy. She openly reveals that her husband, rapper Jay-Z, cheated on her. Yes, y'all. Queen Bee herself got cheated on. Sounds so.. unbelievable huh? Who in their right mind would cheat on Beyonce?!

At first, I couldn't believe that Jay cheated on Beyonce, but after awhile I became not so surprised. We tend to think of celebrities as different people but in reality, they are just like everybody else. She sings about how she was lied to and I know we have all been there at least once in our lives. She sings to tell us how Jay-Z was coming home late at night and she just heard excuse after excuse. It's so hurtful to see because as women, this is what we go through frequently by the men we tend to love so much.

When watching the album, Beyonce takes us on a visceral experience as she displays the many emotions she's felt because of heartbreak. It's an hour long but definitely worth to watch. She goes from scorn, to happy, to forgiving all within one hour. It's truly a piece of art.

Not only did she take us on her emotional stages, but she is also bringing awareness of how it is to be a black woman in today's society. One of Malcolm X's famous quotes is about the black woman, and she had it played during the beginning of "Don't Hurt Yourself." "The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman." She gracefully portrays black culture as a whole so unapologetically. And that is what we call black girl magic.

Lemonade is a cry for resilience, love and hope. I am happy that Beyonce was able to capture so much heartfelt emotion about her marriage and even political issues. I am definitely here for this.

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.
