A video showing a woman storming through a Target store in Glenn Falls, N.Y. has become a viral sensation. In the video, the woman is seen holding a bible, and immediately starts shouting at shoppers and employees in protest against the decision made by Target to allow transgender customers to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity. While she walks around the store, you can hear "God is angry at Target for allowing men to use the little girl's room." She continued to shout as she marched around the registers and then exited the store. During her time in the store, she also has stated that "All Target shoppers should save their money and go shopping at other stores, and Target employees should find a new job."

Target has not yet made any statements regarding the video.

The controversy started when North Carolina Legislature passed a bill requiring transgender Americans to use the restroom of their birth gender which according to some, posed safety issues for the transgender community, posed safety issues for the general community, and called for boycotts by other states urging residents not to travel to North Carolina. The issue has caused a division among the public and social media has been pushing the issue on both ends.

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.
