My Take On 13 Reasons Why

The second season let me down in ways I wasn’t expecting.

My Take On 13 Reasons Why

Warning: this article may contain spoilers for the second season if 13 Reasons Why.

I just finished watching 13 Reasons Why this weekend, and I had mixed feelings about it.

Part of me enjoyed the second season because it gave respect to the fact that there are two sides to every story. The first season was all about Hannah’s story and how she felt, but the second season gives perspectives of the people from the story. You tend to find out that there was often more to the story that was not mentioned.

Like I said, part of me liked this because it’s true that there are two sides to every story. However, I also feel like this season took away from Hannah’s story. Yeah, there was more to it than what she included in the tapes. But at the end of the day, she was harassed by so many people physically or verbally. She deserved to let her voice be heard, even when it really couldn’t be heard anymore.

I was really happy with the first season. I think it did a great job of showing how people’s actions can influence another life, and how cruelty really (excuse my language), really fucking hurts.

However, I hate how the second season twisted Hannah’s story and turned things against her. I hate how they turned even people like me, a girl who personally loved her, to the dark side of hating her and questioning her intentions. Even though these feelings were brief for me, I still don’t like that I felt them.

While the second season was thrilling, entertaining, and shocking at times, it disappointed me with how they shifted the show. I would have been happier if they had wrapped things up at the end of season one and let it be.

I know many people have different beliefs and opinions about this show, but this one is just mine. You don’t have to agree, I just hope you respect it.

All my love,

Kamille

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
