The Fear of Death - That Will Never Go Away
Nobody is sure what happens to people when they die, and that is because, despite religious teachings, we still aren’t sure. Movies like Flatliners (1990) attempt to decipher what happens when we die, as the medical students fiddle around with putting themselves close to death but reviving themselves when they manage to come back from the dead. Humans have a history of a fear of death back when we were hunter-gatherers. Life on this planet used to be very simple before agriculture was developed. As agriculture evolved, we messed up our soil leading to the soil degradation of today.

Would It Matter
I've always wondered, would it matter if I was here? Would anyone truly miss me if I ever decided to just end it? This question was always stuck in my mind, did my 'friends' really care about me? Would it matter to them if I were to disappear one day? I tell myself, "Of course they would, Sienna, you're just being over-dramatic again," but there's a problem with that simple answer. The little voices in the back of my head scream, they scream and tell me that it's all a lie. That my simple answer is nothing but a big fat lie, just another little white lie to get me through another day. I've seen the signs, my friends are pushing me away, telling me they don't need me, that they don't want me. That's okay, though, no one has ever wanted me. My parents didn't want me, my siblings didn't want me, only the evil voices that live in the back of my head want me. So, I always ask myself, would it matter?

The Demi Lovato Relapse Collapse
“I’m sorry I’m not sober...” Demi Lovato sings on her new single. Cynics theorized that the songstress was using addiction to sell more copies of her new CD, while others worried that she was crying out for much-needed help to no avail. In either case, the sobriety drama that surrounds Demi Lovato came to a head before noon on July 24, when emergency personnel were called because she had collapsed due to a suspected overdose on heroin or another opioid such as Meth. The next few hours were chaotic, haunting, and full of the kind of drama that is usually reserved for the silver screen.

Unless You've Been Where Demi Lovato Is, Stand Down
If I was to be completely honest, I've never been a huge fan of Demi Lovato. Don't get me wrong. The woman's got a serious set of pipes and is an amazing singer. I admire that. What I have admired more in recent months is her outspokenness when it comes to mental health and addiction. She's been honest about the stuff she's dealt with over the last few years, and she's really become someone for young people to admire. She's someone to admire not just for her singing ability - what she's dealt with is something which no one should ever have to deal with, and yet far too many people do.

Depression
As humans, we talk about a lot of different things out in the public eye. But something we don’t bring up as much is depression and anxiety. We all feel depressed or anxious at one point or another. But some people live it every day. This is the story of a girl who went through just that. That girl is me.
