The old cottage, with its wildly overgrown garden, was silent, secretive. You wouldn't of known that someone lived there. In fact a 44 year old kind women. She has lived in Taxchester, Michigan her whole life. Everybody's family went into the mining business . Yes accidents happen but she never thought it would happen to her. Bonnie Wilson was Very happy until her husband died. After that she really had lost everything that had value. She slowly started over buying stuff with what money she had, slowly filling up her cottage. If you were to walk in and live there you would get sick within the first night. For the 25 years that Bonnie has lived there she hasn't got sick once. Her sister is starting to worry about her and Bonnie won't let her help.

One day Bonnie's sister Bethany shows up to the cottage to attempt to help her sister. Bethany walks up to the door and knocks three times. Bonnie never comes to the door so she knocks another three times. There was still no answer so she turns the rusty door knob and tries to walk in. Crawling over all the junk in the hall way she makes her way towards whats left of the kitchen. She finds her sister sitting there drinking a cup of coffee.

"Oh Bethany! I didn't hear you come in!"

"It's okay sis I was just coming to check on you."

"Well clearly you can see that I am fine."

Bethany has a shocked look on her face. How can Bonnie possibly be fine living in a place like this? Right then Bethany knew there was only one option left to do. She had to kidnap her sister and keep her out of this cottage. She went to her sister and picked her up then attempted to carry her sister out of there. She ignored the hitting and kicking her sister was doing and put her in her car seat belting her tight. Because Bonnie is so weak she couldn't get out. Her sister than drover her to a mental ward wear Bonnie was never to be seen again.

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.
