She Deserved It

The sentence above is a lie.

She Deserved It
ET Online

Welcome to 2016, a world so ready to blame a woman for being held up at gunpoint in her own apartment, because she did something in the privacy of her own home 10 years ago. In a culture trying to be so 'politically correct' and trying not to offend anyone we've sure as hell taken a turn for the worse in the last 6 months by immediately blaming the victims of these crimes. Why is it the woman's fault? It absolutely isn't. Whether she's famous or not. It doesn't matter if the criminal was a 'Olympic bound swimmer' or the victim just so happened to consensually make love to her partner at the time who then decided to publish it for the whole world to see.

Here we are in 2016 and people are actually saying Kim Kardashian DESERVED to be attacked, tied up, and robbed. People. Come on. I mean I'm not huge Pop Culture guru and truly don't follow anyone close enough to care what clothes they're wearing at a certain gala, but actually saying she deserved what happened to her is just absolutely dehumanizing. Sure, she makes a lot of money and her life is televised. She's from a famous family and you know what? They market themselves well. Can your picture get taken and you make thousands of dollars just for a simple smile with your daughter? Nope? Didn't think so.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that this is where we are now in society. We are AGAIN (thanks Brock Turner) blaming the victim!! This is all, frankly, BULLSHIT! I don't care who you are. If you have a the barrel of a gun on your forehead and you're being tied up and thrown into your bathroom, you deserve every right to be horrified and have people mourn for you and your safety. No matter who it is. At its honestly laughable that people actually think it's ok to blame her. So stop. This shouldn't have to be said.

Kim, I'm so sorry that something so tragic had to happen to you and I hope they catch the perpetrators. Something like this shouldn't happen to anyone and as a mother it must be even more nerve wracking that your child could be in danger.

Finally people just stop acting like children and act like adults. Treat each other like you would want to be at and at least remember everyone else is just as human as you are.

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.
