#FreeKesha

No one ever deserves to be put through what she is going through.

#FreeKesha

Most of you have probably heard of the trend "#FreeKesha" going around. If you have not, here's what's going on:

The singer Kesha was sexually harassed by her producer Dr. Luke when she turned 18. She was out clubbing when he drugged her. Kesha brought this up as a report and has gone to court over it so she could be released from her contract with Sony. The court would not release her from the contract but states she will not have to work with Dr. Luke anymore.

An article from Entertainment Weekly states, "The legal battle started in 2014, when Kesha filed a lawsuit against the 42-year-old producer, born Lukasz Gottwald, claiming he sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally assaulted her for a decade. Dr. Luke filed a countersuit — which was dismissed earlier this month — claiming Kesha and her manager planned to extort him. Because of Friday’s ruling, Kesha may have to record more albums with Dr. Luke if she wants to release music. In response, the hashtag #FreeKesha trended on Twitter, with many stars weighing in and some fans calling for a boycott of Sony Music, which distributes Kesha’s music."

Here are my thoughts on this:

Why? Why would you keep her in a company with the man who has traumatized her? She isn't even asking for him to go to jail; all she wants is a release. For someone to be scared in their workplace is one thing, but for a government to say they don't care about her trauma or how she feels is another. Most likely, almost every time she sees Dr. Luke, she is triggered; maybe even when she walks into work she is reminded and triggered.

I hope that justice is given to Kesha, and that she is free of this. She is in my prayers and I hope yours too, because this should not be happening to anyone.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
