Remembering Paul Walker On His Birthday
Instagram

The last couple of days were bittersweet for “Fast and the Furious” fans.

Not only was "Fast Seven" released in the US on DVD, Sept. 12 was a day of memories and moments. The Saturday marked late actor, Paul Walker’s forty-second birthday. It has almost been two years since the actor and his business partner, Roger Rodas, passed away in a fatal car crash. Over the weekend, family and friends shared special messages over their social media accounts as love for the actor is still strongly present to this day.

Paul’s younger brother, Cody Walker, took to Instagram sharing this photo of him, Paul, and other brother, Caleb, with the caption: To special times with both my bros. We love and miss you Pdub. @paulwalker #brothers #missyou #happy42nd

The “Fast and Furious” family sought Facebook and Twitter, as well, posting and tweeting heartfelt messages.

Vin Diesel made a posting with this touching photo on Facebook:

Tyrese Gibson tweeted his love:

Walker is survived by his 16-year-old daughter, Meadow, who announced early Saturday over Instagram she will be honoring her father in a touching and moving way by embracing his passions of marine life, as well as helping others through the Paul Walker Foundation. Through this foundation, scholarships and grants will be provided to students focusing in areas of marine science. Already, there have been three recipients of the award and the next will be announced on Oct. 3.

The foundation’s mission is simply “do good.” The website provides a quote by Paul that states: “When you put good will out there, it’s amazing what can be accomplished.” A statement that embodies the foundation.

In light of this news, many are supporting the foundation and spreading the word.

Ludacris called out his fan base for support:

Michelle Rodriguez also spread the word via Twitter tweeting:

Followed by another tweet of Meadow and her father.

Reach Out WorldWide, a non-profit organization which was founded by Paul Walker, is also showing support. ROWW released a touching tribute in his memory.

Love for Walker extends to his fans, as they followed Jesse Brisendine's message and posted sunrises and sunsets from wherever they were in the world. Brisendine then created a video to celebrate his friend and raise money for ROWW. You can find it here.

Walker was a talented man who had amazing passions and although he may not be here with us, his legacy continues on as does the love and admiration people have for him.

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.
