10 Things You Know If You Were A 'Weird Kid'
Al Lane

Being a kid is hard, and if you were like me, growing up weird and nerdy made everything 10x times harder. Although I'm glad I got to grow up to be the dork I am today, there was a lot of cringes that took place along the way, and 10 truths that anyone who grew up "weird" would totally get

1. You loved being the center of attention (and making people laugh)

You would do anything to get a laugh, even if it was always really awkward and embarrassing for everyone around you.

2. You loved going to museums and picking up weird trivia whenever you could.

"The only reason people care about King Tut is because his tomb wasn't raided like almost every other pharaohs! He's so historically insignificant!"

3. You HATED playing sports

...and whenever you started acting up, your parents would threaten to put you into a soccer league (or maybe that's just me).

4. Puberty was much worse for you than it was for everyone else.

"I'm already awkward enough as it is and now I have boobs and acne? This is ridiculous!"

6. You had IMPECCABLE taste in fashion.

7. Every photo had to be posed for.

"Taylor, just take a normal picture for once!"

"Noooooo!!!"


8. You loved to get your groove on.

Anytime, Anywhere (especially in public)

9. Even with all your weirdness, you always stayed true to yourself.

"There's no one I'd rather be than me!"

10. Your parents were just as weird as you were

and you loved it that way.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
