10 life lessons that are shaping me into the person I want to be:


1. Family comes above everything and everyone

- In the end, you can always rely on the people who love you endlessly to support you. Never take their love for granted and always be appreciative

2. Never underestimate your self worth

- Our biggest enemy is our minds. Once we realize that we are in control of our own lives it becomes easier to live for ourselves and to appreciate ourselves

3. Be thankful for who stayed & who left

- Remember that God only puts the right people on your path & removes the wrong ones

4. Appreciate the little things in life

- Don't sit around focusing on the terrible, frustrating or annoying things in life. Focus on the pleasurable and exciting things that make you smile

5. Dream Big

- Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. You are the creator of your dreams

6. Work hard & Make it happen

- Focus on yourself & what you want your life to be. The rest will fall into place when you least expect it

7. Be kind

- Remember to always lift others up.

8. Believe in yourself

- Don't let others bring you down. Always remember that you are capable, you are strong and that you can & will do everything they say you cannot.

9. Don't be revengeful

- You do not need revenge to move on

- Remember that living happily is enough of a sign that you did not let the past beat you

10: Acknowledge your growth

- Where you are now and where you want to be is growth. And the thing in between is life

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
