Dogs are always talked about as being "man's best friend" and I couldn't agree more. They are one of the greatest gifts on this earth.

1. They're cuddly.

Dogs love & crave attention and love from humans. These work as a win win for us. They need attention and we love cuddling with them.

2. They're good listeners

Dogs are the ideal listeners. You can talk to them all day long and they won't talk back to you. That basically means they agree with you, which is perfect.

3. They know when you're sad.

Dogs have this great way of knowing when something is wrong. They will always be there to cheer you up. They can always make you happy.

4. They always make you laugh

Dogs are always doing funny things and are constantly making us laugh. They keep us entertained and always keep a smile on our face.

5. Dogs are always excited to see you


Just like in The Secret Life of Pets, your dogs can't wait for you to come home! They are always so exited to see you.

6. You can't stay mad at them

No matter what they break or how bad they misbehave, we can never stay mad at our dogs. They always give us those puppy dog eyes, and it works every time.

7. They'll protect you


Dogs will go to any length to protect us. Even if it is from the mail man or the UPS guy.

8. They will love you forever


Dogs love is the best we can experience. They love us unconditionally and always will.

9. They are extremely loyal


Through out life, people may leave you. But your dog will never leave you and be forever loyal.

10. "He might only be here for a part of your life, but for him, you're his whole life"


This quote hits hard. You mean everything to your pet and you are his whole life. Do not take that for granted.

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.

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.
