“OK ladies now lets get in formation” is more than just song lyrics, it is a movement. Beyoncé helped affirm this with her recent album and visual album "LEMONADE".This album has transcended anything she has ever done before and she officially let the world know why being a black woman is something sacred in itself. This album is full of truth, emotion, and raw truth

The 12-track album is a story from start to finish. The visual album gives viewers even more than they imagined. The album starts with a song called "Pray You Catch Me" and ends with the infamous "Formation." However, the meat of the story lies in-between. Songs like "Don’t Play Yourself" and Sorry give us an extremely honest and angry Queen B who discusses the infidelity she experienced within her marriage with rapper Jay-Z.

This album was the most open and honest that fans have ever seen or heard from Beyoncé. Songs like "Daddy Lessons," "Love Drought," "All Night," "Sandcastles" and one of my personal favorites "Freedom" are guaranteed to leave you with goosebumps. The poem included as the narration of the visual album seems to answer every question we had about the elevator situation that occurred in 2014.

The visual album was captivating and spewed with creativity. It gives the black female perspective of what it is like to go through the extreme lows and extreme highs of a relationship. If not the whole album, there is at least one song that everyone can relate too.

Queen B did an amazing job of giving a visual perspective of the different emotions like anger, emptiness and freedom. She mixed old-school southern style with modern edginess and highlighted the true beauty of the black woman. If you haven’t listened yet, do yourself a favor and watch the visual album. It is groundbreaking, inspiring and refreshing. You feel every ounce of emotion that Queen B has put into her work. It truly teaches us that when life hands you lemons you can either be sour or make lemonade.

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.
