How Do Current Events Affect You And What You Should Know

I am one of those women who are frequently asked when I am having children, and I do think about it a lot. What would I say if my boyfriend, Brook was into having babies? Would I want one or not? Why would I even question it? But have you seen what the world is coming to? America is turning into a total shit show including the savages living in it.

These football players who think it is okay to kneel when the National Anthem is playing. Are you kidding me? All over a race issue. You make millions of dollars a year to play football and you cannot stand, but there are Veterans who have nothing. Men and women and dogs literally go out to war and lose their lives for us and these people who do not have enough respect to stand and show their patriotism. Plus, these football players are showing little children who do not understand why thesr football players are kneeling that it is ok. If you do not appreciate what you have then get out. See what other countries would have in store for you.

Well, let me think... the National Anthem is sang for our soldiers and America, and also is meant to bring different races and cultures together. We are supposed to be brothers and sisters. We are supposed to unite together not divide. Stop disrespecting your country!

I spoke with a homeless veteran today. He had many bags and seemed a little screwy in the head, but he was so nice. Why are veterans homeless in America, but we have football players making millions who do not stand for the Anthem? Someone needs to please donate the millions of dollars that the players are making to the Veterans who live in cardboard boxes. I mean because that is what the veterans deserve after what they have all done for us, right? I am pretty certain America got that shit backwards.

In regards to the horrific shooting that happened in Vegas: I am so sorry for all of their families and friends. I could not even imagine, which brings me to the bitch, (that word is probably too nice) or Vice President of CBS. Reports are stating that she was fired for saying she felt no sympathy for the victims and their families because they were at a country concert and that must mean they are Republican. Ummmm... what!?!? The bitch deserved to be fired and thank God CBS did just that. No one deserves to die the way those people did. The people did nothing wrong and innocent lives were lost. Rest in Paradise to all who have passed.

The shooter is said to not be a terrorist, which makes me sick. Doctors reported that he had mental issues. Nahhh... you think!? Anyone who does something that horrific has issues, but my point is if that guy was black, Muslim, or whatever, he would be considered a terrorist. I am white and I am not racist. How do you get almost thirty guns into a hotel room without anyone noticing? We all know the media and government are both hiding shit from us.

Now, everyone needs settle down. I know certain people reading this piece are heated because they are hypocrites and think no one can have his or her own opinion. The article is my opinion.

Rest In Peace to all. Praying for our troops and veterans. Maybe this will all change one day.

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.
