Over the last few weeks, it's safe to say that the world has been rocked by tragedy. From natural disasters to terrorist attacks, to devastation impacting the lives of millions across the globe, support and attention toward these grief-stricken countries and communities are more important than ever

However, after one famous family name has continuously made headlines over the last couple of weeks, growing resentment toward the media has taken presence. When news broke that not only Kim Kardashian-West was expecting a third child in early 2017 via surrogate, but sisters Kylie AND Khloe were also rumored to be expecting in the preceding and succeeding weeks of Kim's due date, news outlets everywhere directed their attention from the tragedy (and successes) that people all over the world are facing toward the famous reality stars seemingly-continuous drama. But, that's the problem.

The media's hyper-focused attention on the Kardashian-Jenner clan's ongoing shenanigans has shadowed what's most important right now: current events that are changing the world. Here are 14 current events that are more important than the Kardashian pregnancy trifecta:

1. Earthquake victims in Mexico are still buried alive.

2. Increased seismic activity at Mount Agung in Bali has forced over 50k people from their homes.


3. The Dengue Fever outbreak in Peshawar.

4. Pope Francis' campaign to counteract anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States and Europe.

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.

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.
