The World is Suffering And Crying For You

It's OK to cry.

The World is Suffering And Crying For You
Telemundo

Omran, little angel with no voice and no tears, the world finally got to know you. Though under the most unfortunate circumstances but we're glad to know that you are alive.

The world became aware of your existence as we saw you wipe off the blood from your little forehead, and we are praying for you- praying for you and for all the lives that have been taken away.

Your image has gone around causing even the most cold-hearted person to shed tears for you- the world is crying for you.

At your young age you have learned the full definition of cruelty and evilness. you became aware of the terror that's caused by people who walk around carrying hate in their hearts. You have learned the dark colors of the world you live in losing faith in the humanity that no longer surrounds.

You were in the most awful situation and got to first hand experience what you could've seen on television in a scary movie or maybe while playing a video game during your teenage years. You were able to experience and see your own beloved ones suffer and that is heartbreaking. You have learned hate in a matter of seconds and were shocked by the reality of our society while you saw your family being rescued one by one

At such a young age you were forced to become silent in a place where words asking for peace are ignored and taken for granted. You were unable to cry as you felt your own pain and shock. it's okay to cry and scream how you feel.

Through all the heart-breaking images we were not only able to see how terrified you were as you were pulled out from the many bricks laying over you, but you showed how brave a tiny human being like you can be.

You have been unfortunate enough to live in a place where all that children witness are the sparks that airstrikes cause instead of fireworks in the sky. You have been forced to grow during an era in which children like you no longer play with toys but with guns and other "grown up" things they find on the streets, which caused the destruction of places and their families.

You have been through a lot and have known nothing but war. You have opened up people's eyes to the millions of people who have had it easier. Though you have only experienced war and will continue to do so as long as you live in your country, you have been one of the fortunate to survive and gladly not part of the 4,500 children who have been killed by airstrikes according to the Syrian observatory Human Rights Est. as of 8/16.

Your story has touched many around the world and we are aware that we have failed humanity. We have failed little angels like you. Though you are now probably laying down in bed recovering, just know that there are still people left in the world with kind hearts who are only willing to share love and no suffering.

From the bottom of my heart I tell you that things will get better and though you will never forget that horrible day in your life, your pain will slowly heal.

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.
