Why The Walking Dead is an Amazingly Heartbreaking TV Series

*Warning: Spoilers Ahead*

Why The Walking Dead is an Amazingly Heartbreaking TV Series

The Walking Dead is a survivalist series centering around a small group of characters that all those who watch the series have come to know and love. We cry along with them when they lose members of the group, contemplate what is going to happen next and what the group should do, and completely stress when a herd of Walkers happens upon them. Everyone who watches the show knows that it is silly to be emotionally connected to these characters as they have so little chances to succeed and live, but we all find ourselves becoming way more emotionally invested than we ever thought possible.

Us, TWD fanatics, have found ourselves suffering alongside the characters that we love as the cope with the deaths of the group, that see each other as a family. Though we cannot relate the exact situations the characters are put into, we feel an enormous amount of empathy and pain for them when hard decisions concerning the group need to be made. It's absolutely insane how much you can feel for a character you don't know who's living in a harsh and punishing world you don't know, one that is almost impossible to succeed in, but you feel as though you are them.

The deaths throughout the series effect us all; they're always surprises causing you to cry out, gasp for breath with the rest of the surviving characters, and keep you at the edge of your seat. Some of the deaths you find yourself at an eerie acceptance with, and others will literally rip your heart out and stamp on it.

*Spoiler Alert*

The recent death of Glenn and Abraham, along with the capture of Daryl, left The Walking Dead family shaken to their core; not knowing what the do next with the threat of Negan surrounding them. The group right now sees no hope, only the pain that Negan has caused and will continue to cause, with the tiny hope that this pain will inspire the group to seek revenge against Negan for all the group has and will continue lose to him. Though this is a time of despair for the group, they must all come together in the hopes of strengthening themselves against Negan, overcoming what he has done to them and becoming free from his reign. With all of Rick's power taken from him, the group will have to find a way to gain back that power, and rid themselves of Negan; though the effects of what he has done will reverberate around the group forever.

No one knows what is coming next for Rick and the group, but we all know it will be a long and hard fight against Negan and the Saviors, one that may last seasons, and include many heartbreaks.

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.
