The Brangelina Era Is Over

#TeamJen Forever

The Brangelina Era Is Over

It's been 11 years since Jen and Brad split, yet the social media still loves to absorb everything with this couple. I have been Team Jen from the beginning and was devastated when it was announced that Jen and Brad were splitting. I have never been a fan of Angeline Jolie and never cared for her in movies or anything. So when I found out she was the next girl in Brad's life, I was not a fan.

For at least a decade, Brangelina smeared their goodness on the country. They adopted children! They helped build houses after Katrina! Oh, what lovely people!

Jennifer Aniston truly seemed like the loser in the equation. While Angelina Jolie moved more into the mainstream in the early 2000s, she was still very much known for her “edgy” past. So when Brad Pitt ended his five-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston in 2005, the media were quick to turn the story into a familiar narrative of Wronged Woman vs. Evil Seductress. Everyone still sided with Jen because she is known as the "American Dreamgirl" with every role she has done.

The media tried to always put Jen in a positive light, which she deserved. The Team Aniston shirts sold 25 times faster than Team Jolie to begin with. The popularity of the team T-shirts helped fuel the rivalry. Taking it out of the gossip mags and into people’s closets. Making it part of popular culture. Aniston always got the heat from the media after the divorce for still being single and not having any kids. Jen has stood up to the press regarding the objectification women, and she also married to Justin Theroux. It's been over a decade since she really cared about any of this. She's moved on. And, as much as we want to include her in this unfortunate narrative, she's too busy living her best life to celebrate the dissolution of an ex's marriage. Either way, she is the one coming up onto and will always be America's favorite. She's a winner in all categories. Brad who?!

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.
