How "Sherlock" stole my heart

Having (finally) finished all there is to see of the immaculate television series, "Sherlock," I can safely say my heart will be eternally kept by the genius that is Sherlock and Watson.

Never have I witnessed such a chemistry, such a delightful camaraderie brightened by witty word play and sarcastic and fairly narcissistic banter. Going into this show I expected to meet a stone-cold genius and his practical doctor friend, but I found much, much more; a brotherhood, a combination of two drastically different humans to form the incomparable duo that is William Sherlock Scott Holmes and John Hamish Watson.

So, aside from this very good and detailed reason, what else has "Sherlock" done to steal my very heart? Elementary.

1. Clothing is optional -- and that's OK.

This simple answer, “OK,” shows the true depths of this ravishing relationship and that Sherlock need not even to wear pants to secure John’s undying friendship.

2. Crazy equals genius.

Solving complex schemes requires brutal honesty, sometimes.

3. Reverting back to childish ways is brilliant and totally acceptable.

Oh, my dear Sherl, whether it be politics, school or a case -- we feel you. Sometimes, the best answer is simply no!

4. Not a psychopath, just a high functioning sociopath.

Need I say more?

5. Great minds are easily bored.

Again, I think we can all relate. If the mind of Holmes can be bored I think it's acceptable for anyone.

6. Overacting is OK -- as long as you aren't Moriarty.

We all get a little aggravated sometimes, so letting a few heated words out never hurt, right? I said just a few, Mo.

7. Victory leap!

The moment of bliss once you’ve finished a final, finished something treacherously tedious -- or solved a series of murders.

8. Not every day is sunshine and rainbows.

We’ve got the good days, we’ve got the bad days, and we’ve got the sopping wet rainy days. We're here for you, John!

9. Brief moments of joy followed by sadness.

When Amazon Prime day was yesterday. -- it's OK John. We've all been there.

10. No matter what, it'll all be OK.

Thanks, Sherl, you always know how to cheer a girl up.

Hopefully these wonderful gifs of wisdom will help inspire in everyone a deep yearning to watch this whirlwind of a show. You will think things and feel things that only a cocaine-addicted genius can create. Watch out for the newest season of this beautiful series coming out January of this coming year!

It's time to get un-Sher-locked!

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.
