The Mandela Effect

Your mind is about to be blown.

The Mandela Effect
Digital Spy

A conspiracy theory is defined as an explanatory or speculative hypothesis suggesting that two or more persons, or an organization, have conspired to cause or cover up, through secret planning and deliberate action, an event or situation typically regarded as illegal or harmful. Over the past few days, I've become so interested in them and now believe in some of them. It all started with watching a Youtube video, and now I'm deeply into looking up and researching some of the most common and most believed examples of the Mandela Effect.

The Mandela effect is a theory of parallel universes, based on the idea of Nelson Mandela dying while in prison in the 80's, but that never happened even though thousands of people remember that as being true. Oddly, large groups of people have similar alternative memories about past events. Some people believe there is an alternative universe where people go back and change little things. Some examples of the Mandela Effect are below.

1. Bernstein Bears

When I was little, I would always read the book series of The Berenstein Bears. They were my favorite books to read. I clearly remember it being spelt as Berenstein with an "e". Now, if you look back at them, they're not Berenstein with an "e", but it's Berenstain with an "a", but something about it looks off. I know there used to be an "e" there and so do many others!

2. Star Wars

Everyone remembers the famous quote from Star Wars as "Luke I Am Your Father". It's written on T-shirts, posters, and so much more. But, if you go back and watch the scene, Darth Vader says "No, I am your father". Why would people continue to say "Luke I Am Your Father" if that's not the right quote?

3. Snow White

The famous and most known quote from Snow White is "Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all". I used to say it all the time after I first saw the movie. Now, if you go back and watch the movie it is changed to " Magic mirror on the wall".

4. Curious George

While growing up, Curious George was always one of my favorite book and cartoon characters. I always remembered him having a tail. You could see it in the pictures and episodes. But now when I look at them, he doesn't have a tail.

5. Interview with a vampire

The famous movie "Interview with a Vampire" is actually called "Interview with the Vampire".

6. Sex in the city

The TV show "Sex in the C"ity has been around for years and is still on T.V. all the time. But, it's actually "Sex and the City". Something about it doesn't look or sound right at all.

7. Mister Roger's Neighborhood

When I was growing up, the T.V. show "Mister Roger's Neighborhood" was one of my favorite shows to watch. My favorite part was the opening song, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood", but it's not actually "the neighborhood". Instead, it's " It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood".

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.
