There are so many stories of bullying and hate on Facebook, but it can be a source of something beautiful too.
The day after 13-year-old Talia Joy Castellano died following a seven-year battle with cancer, her parents decided to posted a picture on Facebook of a list she made called, “Things I Wanna Do Before I Die.”
There were 74 things on the list, many of which she didn't get a chance to fulfil before passing away on July 16. So her followers have decided to cross them off in her honour.
People have been posting photos on Facebook and Twitter under the hashtag, “#taliasbucketlist.” Some of the activities have included covering a car in Post-it notes, dancing in the rain, giving flowers to a stranger and parasailing.
“Talia is everywhere you look and we couldn’t be more pleased,” her family wrote on Facebook. “And we especially know she is loving all the attention. Thank you for keeping her spirit alive and showing her family that her message and voice will continue to make an impact across the globe.”
Talia's life may have been short but she made the most of every moment. She became a YouTube sensation when she began posting make-up tutorials after she lost her hair as a result of the chemotherapy and started experimenting with applying make-up to “boost her self-confidence.”
