A Tribute To Diana
Diana Spencer

You were a "People's Princess" and royalty was such a big spotlight. I don't blame you for feeling over whelmed. Nobody should blame you. I never really knew a lot about Diana, Princess of Wales, until recently, her son Harry, got married. The grand, royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This family is full of secrets, money and well, royalty.

I began reading articles and watching these documentaries about her and from the very beginning, I could tell she had no idea what she was really doing. Princess Diana was strong and she tried her best to be royalty. Princess Diana struggled with depression and bulimia when she first moved from her town of Sandringham, England to the royal castle once marrying Prince Charles. The marriage ended with divorce as she began to lead a single mother life, still being Princess.

The popularity and paparazzi attention that she received was too much for her and it overwhelmed her at many times. She gave her time and love to not only her kids, but so many other children around the world being that she was a Child Activist. They were the most important. She didn't see the attention as the goal, the children were the goal. To give hope and uplift people and maybe some of that came from her wanting to feel that way for herself.

“Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back if only they had the chance.”– Princess Diana

From a biography I read about Princess Diana, she also took part in de-stigmatizing people who were HIV positive. She was not afraid of people that didn't want the attention either; only to be helped and loved. She supports the bans on landmines after people were injured and since passed away. People could connect with her and she found her happiness in helping others.

You gave happiness to people in situations where they could not make a difference, so you did. People can struggle but still bring happiness to others. Sometimes the unhappy people are the ones who really make others pay attention. You were a peoples princess and your bravery and generosity will never go unnoticed. Especially by your sons.

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.
