There will never be enough memes to fix this broken heart.

Write For Harambe Because He Can't
msecnd.net

Oh, Harambe. You left this Earth too soon. Everyone was so upset when they heard what happened to you. The mom, the child, and the police; it was all too much for you! It's just not fair what happened, and so it only makes sense that we let that mom never forget what she did to you through memes and songs.

Harambe, we will never know if what they did to you was truly right or wrong, but do know that your life will definitely not be forgotten anytime soon. Know that the world seemed outraged by what happened to you, and that you were the one punished for what many individuals are calling the mother's, "lack of attention to her child".

It may be insensitive to the mother because it was traumatic for both her and her child, but a life was lost. I'm sure it was not the mother's intention to have her child fall into the enclosure and kill Harambe, but it is still something that was truly a nightmare. Hopefully, we can learn from this whole experience, and put more safety measures on enclosures as well as hoping that parents will hold themselves more accountable and hopefully keep a closer look at their children.

But really, Harambe. You shouldn't be gone. WHY HAVE YOU LEFT US? My roommates and I talk about you every single day, about how your life MATTERS, and how much we wish you were still here with us. Without you, a piece of us is missing.

We will never forget you, Harambe. You were truly special, and we can only hope that you are forever free from your enclosure. We will always have you this lovely song, though.


R.I.P. Harambe.

We miss you.

come back to us.

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.
