I'm at the second to last season of my show: The Good Wife on Amazon Prime.

Everyone knows how that feels.

You finally found a show to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and countless others and there's actually five to six seasons or better yet you found one with seven! How lucky are you? You've become enraptured in this show, their emotions are your emotions. Your favorite character died? No, not them! Anyone but them. Why would the producers do this to you? Don't they know that you have so much invested in their wellbeing? Obviously they're doing this to punish you, they don't really care about your feelings. You're not important to them, they're selfish becuase what else could they be if they killed off your favorite character?

You're on season six now, episode thirteen of twenty-two and you slow your roll. You don't want to get to season seven too fast because then what are you going to do with your life? You'll end up in a funk. The one you get after you finish watching a show and now you don't know what to do with the extra time you have. You could do some homework? But nah, you have plenty of time for that. You could find a hobby one that you have to do outside and not sitting on your couch in front of your tv? Ew, only weirdos like doing things outside, I'm more of a couch potato. Instead you just sit around and picture your life, how it would be if you hadn't watched that last episode. You'd still have meaning to your life, a purpose. You wouldn't be floating, wandering aimlessly looking for the next great show to binge watch with at least five seasons.

You flip through the options on Netflix, then Amazon Prime, Hulu, Showtime and HBO. Still nothing catches your attention. You sigh and just as you're about to turn off the tv and pick up a book something catches your eye.

Is that? No, it couldn't be.

Yes, it's a show that looks interesting and it has six seasons.

Suits, please don't disappoint me.

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.
