I'm Still Not OK With Robin Williams' Passing
Wiki

It’s almost been three years since the beloved Robin Williams passed away and I’m still not okay. Don’t get me wrong, I never knew him personally but the feelings he bestowed upon audiences is what really grabs a person emotionally. It’s like when you pick up a good book and you get attached to this perfectly described character. See, he had this light about him that just makes people smile, feel warm, and even laugh. When the news of his passing spread I can’t be the only one to say that we all felt kind of heart broken. I felt as my memories were being taken from me, like I was losing a piece of my childhood. Robin Williams was more than just an actor; he was a childhood friend.

Through his passing I lost those mysterious Arabian nights, a caring father figure, my very first Peter Pan, and a man with a brilliant mind. He was there through Mrs. Doubtfire and Genie when I needed a laugh. He gave me my first real sense of Peter Pan in Hook. He even fascinated me in Awakenings where he stared as a doctor taking care of patient with an extreme form of parkinsonism. Robin Williams could falsely execute any persona he was asked to relay.

The sad truth of it all is we have to learn to move on one day; today is not that day. Well, not for me. I will continue to rewatch his movies till my dying day and I will share his movies with others. I think Robin Williams would at least like to be remembered as a man who inspired happiness and creativity in so many. He was our childhood hero that kept children happy through the most difficult times, even when he was hurting on the inside too.

Thank you, Robin Williams for everything you did. You are still dearly missed.

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.
