5 Stories That Will Help You Remember The Good In The World
At Whit's End

With Trump's inauguration, our social media and news feeds are crowded and filled with so many political posts and arguments that we miss so many other stories of amazing survival and humor. We are too caught up in who's who in terms of Democrat and Republican and feminist and not; there's nothing wrong with either side except for the fact we have become blind to the joy we should be noticing. Check out just five stories and videos I found when I looked below the main posts of the most recent protests and fires started. It's time to take a break and forget the bad that has happened... and see the good still left in the world.

1. The amazing story of how one mom survived without lungs for 6 days.

Yup, you read that right! This mom was able to continue living a great life with her family after surviving 6 days without lungs to overcome cystic fibrosis. Get away from the Trump drama and check out the entire story, video, and photos on CNN.

2. J.K. Rowling sent a Syrian girl Harry Potter books to distract her from the war.

This story broke my heart, especially after following young Bana on Twitter @AlabedBana to get her story myself. Visit CNN to understand real pain felt by a brave girl.

3. Or how about the total "awwww" tale of one dog rescuing another from rapid water?

I can't even begin to describe the heart strings this one pulled as I watched it. If you watch anything today, watch the footage caught by the dogs' owner, Rafael Franciulli, on Life Daily.

4. This Daddy-daughter duet just confirms the fact we need more of this innocence in our news.

Ok, maybe it's just the Disney-loving-inner-child in me but I cannot get enough of this duo! See the video and story of the cutest duet you have ever seen of "You've Got a Friend in Me", and find more Disney duets by this adorable pair, on Eyewitness News at 3.

5. I don't know the bride who dressed up as a T-rex for the "first look"... but I want to be her.

I mean really.... how GREAT is this?! His reaction is even better! Check it out on today.com.

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.
