Their voices haven't been heard.

We share this world with beautiful animals all over the world, covering both ocean and sea. No matter how big, small, cute or strong they may be they still need us to be their voice. Let me introduce some of our animal friends.

I am a Northern Supportive Lemur and my species and I are the rarest of our kind.

I am the Chinese Giant Salamander please tell people to stop eating me.

I am the Manumea also known as the Little Do Do Bird do not let me follow in my ancestors’ path, please.


You may be asking yourself “What do all of these animals have in common”? The recent 2016 endangered species list came out and they were who made the top ten. The African Elephants, Panda Bears, and Blue Whales are still at a risk as well, but they were no longer on the top ten list. They are not as big of a high risk for endangerment because their voices have been heard. People helped put their lives in the spotlight and now there are many worldwide funds for them. Here are links to some of their funds.

Now it’s the guys that you learned about up above turn to be saved. The next time go to throw your empty trash out the window of your car, please don’t. There are viral videos like this one displaying what our trash is doing to these poor animals.

Animals share this beautiful planet with us; they have emotions, families and a right to live on this earth safely just as much as we do. Nothing is more disheartening than seeing animals that are being mistreated, animals losing their habitats with no plan alternate habitat. These animals are special to our earth they deserve to live much longer than the time they are said to have left. This is not me telling you to give all of your money to animal funds, but next time you see a plastic bag flying around in a parking lot throw it out. Spend a Saturday afternoon volunteering for an animal shelter, or collecting goods for them through your job. The animals on the endangered species list are not the only ones in need of attention all animals deserve to be treated fairly. Below is the website where you can learn more on how to protect nature’s fury friends.

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.
