We've all heard the saying that bad things come in threes. Let me tell you something. That couldn't be anymore true. I have a few different examples of bad things happening in threes so if you don't like to read about bad things or death you might want to stop reading now. This article by no means is going to be happy and upbeat like others that I have written.

Last week I was scrolling through Facebook like it was any other week and I came across a post from one of my high school teachers. A male my age had passed away. This male was the end of one set of three and simultaneously the start of another set of three. You see I have been graduated from high school for three years and four months and this post was the third since graduation of males around my age having passed away from my hometown.

This death however had hit me a little harder than the other two of the set of three that he ended had. He lived down the road from me for years we went to school together and we grew up together. He was the one that I went home for.

Remember how I said he was also the start of another set of three? Later in the week I was scrolling through Facebook again and I came across two more people who had posted about loved ones passing away. These didn't affect me though because while I knew the people who posted that they had lost someone I did not know the people who had passed.

Bad things come in threes so you may start to feel better about someone passing away but soon after your grieving process starts all over again because unless that was your third one you are going to have more coming.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
