It's OK to cry.

The World is Suffering And Crying For You
Telemundo

Omran, little angel with no voice and no tears, the world finally got to know you. Though under the most unfortunate circumstances but we're glad to know that you are alive.

The world became aware of your existence as we saw you wipe off the blood from your little forehead, and we are praying for you- praying for you and for all the lives that have been taken away.

Your image has gone around causing even the most cold-hearted person to shed tears for you- the world is crying for you.

At your young age you have learned the full definition of cruelty and evilness. you became aware of the terror that's caused by people who walk around carrying hate in their hearts. You have learned the dark colors of the world you live in losing faith in the humanity that no longer surrounds.

You were in the most awful situation and got to first hand experience what you could've seen on television in a scary movie or maybe while playing a video game during your teenage years. You were able to experience and see your own beloved ones suffer and that is heartbreaking. You have learned hate in a matter of seconds and were shocked by the reality of our society while you saw your family being rescued one by one

At such a young age you were forced to become silent in a place where words asking for peace are ignored and taken for granted. You were unable to cry as you felt your own pain and shock. it's okay to cry and scream how you feel.

Through all the heart-breaking images we were not only able to see how terrified you were as you were pulled out from the many bricks laying over you, but you showed how brave a tiny human being like you can be.

You have been unfortunate enough to live in a place where all that children witness are the sparks that airstrikes cause instead of fireworks in the sky. You have been forced to grow during an era in which children like you no longer play with toys but with guns and other "grown up" things they find on the streets, which caused the destruction of places and their families.

You have been through a lot and have known nothing but war. You have opened up people's eyes to the millions of people who have had it easier. Though you have only experienced war and will continue to do so as long as you live in your country, you have been one of the fortunate to survive and gladly not part of the 4,500 children who have been killed by airstrikes according to the Syrian observatory Human Rights Est. as of 8/16.

Your story has touched many around the world and we are aware that we have failed humanity. We have failed little angels like you. Though you are now probably laying down in bed recovering, just know that there are still people left in the world with kind hearts who are only willing to share love and no suffering.

From the bottom of my heart I tell you that things will get better and though you will never forget that horrible day in your life, your pain will slowly heal.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
