Besides being in love with news in general and being able to express myself freely, I have a deep obsession with mysteries, crime, and just all around creepy things. However, I know my limits and there are some things I just cannot get on board with.

For a long while, I had always heard of the deep and dark web, but I just thought it was simply darker, more sinister content. Well, it is, but I thought anyone could easily access it. This is not the case. Things on that part of the internet are so extreme and a lot of times incriminating that anyone HAS to have certain browsing software to be able to access the content. This detail alone helped me realize that I do not want anything to do with this part of the web.

I've only been on this earth for 21 years, and yes, I have a lot to experience and still a great amount to learn. I know that rape, murder, kidnappings, drug smuggling, and countless other things occur every single day around the clock. But actually WATCHING it happen with my own two eyes is not something I care to do now Or in the future. Some people may think in a way I'm shielding myself from reality and I will accept that 100%! I hear about it enough on the news and social media; I don't need to actually see it.

Also, as early as yesterday, I discovered a trend among YouTubers. I'm not sure how old this trend is, but basically YouTubers purchase packages from anonymous sellers that include creepy, questionable items. I personally viewed a video in which a screwdriver was placed in a plastic bag and appeared to have small amounts of blood on it. Fake or not, this really made me uncomfortable and further confirmed any questions I had about possibly surfing the dark web.

Additionally, there is apparently lots of information about the world, governments, and drugs. These particular topics do not bother me as much as the thought of people being harmed, especially those who do not deserve it. Corrupt governments are no surprise for me, that's what several of them were built on. Drug use and smuggling is not something I condone, but a direct threat to humans and children is what I care about much more.

If you are a person who wants to browse that part of the web, I can't tell you "no". All I have to say is be careful, ask yourself exactly what you are looking for, and if you can handle what all that comes with it.

To all, be good and do good.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
