If you haven't heard of YelloPain, you're missing out. YelloPain is an up and coming musical artist that has created an amazing new song with a super important message. Your Vote Does Count. Within the song itself he explains, how the government works and why it's important to get your own vote and message out there. He takes us back to school and walks us through the different branches of government and how Congress makes the laws. He reminds people that in 2008 when you voted for the president, you were supposed to come back in 2010 and vote for Congress. He originally wrote the song back in January of 2020 with the title, "My Vote Don't Count." In a few different interviews he talks about how he used to not think the government and the president never impacted his day-to-day life. He learned how wrong that was and it inspired him to write this song. He later released another remixed version earlier this month and Sevyn Streeter joined him to create this masterpiece. It's gotten a lot of attention recently from major organizations including the Grammy's, VOTE.org, and more.

The music video starts by YelloPain overhearing a conversation in a barber shop about how their vote doesn't count. YelloPain immediately jumps into the conversation and teaches them about everything. He grabs his white board and marker and goes to work.

I had the amazing opportunity to talk to YelloPain yesterday and when asked if he defines himself as a political artist; he answered yes. But that he also sees himself as a fun artist and a inspirational artist and pretty much everything. At the end of the day, he's just a guy who knows the importance of voting and wants to make sure everyone is educated. He says this is arguably one of the most important elections that he's been apart of and he knows others will and do feel the same way. His song is meant to be a reminder, a motivation and an inspiration to get people out to the polls in November.

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.
