11 Reasons I Appreciate My Patient Boyfriend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpNYw_2UvWo

I have to take the time to thank my boyfriend for dealing with my indecisiveness and, more broadly, my anxiety. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face during frustrating times. It's important you know that I truly do appreciate your patience for the following reasons:

1. I am very indecisive.

Thank you for never rushing me through decisions about where to go eat or what to do on our next date. I like to take time to think.


2. Sometimes, I can take a while to get ready.

I appreciate you waiting for me after I change outfits about seven times before a night out.

3. I should also thank you for going shopping with me and pretending not to be completely bored.

My indecisiveness takes on a whole new level at the mall.

4. It may seem like my dog doesn’t like you because she barks constantly.

But, really she just doesn’t like strangers in general. Thank you for being patient with her, my puppy appreciates it and so do I.

5. Ice skating always seemed like a good idea until I realized I have absolutely no balance.

But I really did appreciate you helping me skate around the rink at a very slow pace.

6. I know I'm not the best driver, but I appreciate you being patient with me and helping me when possible.

You are the car expert after all.

7. I am shy and a bit anxious.

I want to get to know your friends and family, and will talk to them more. But, thank you for understanding I need time to get to know people before I break out of my shell.

8. Sometimes, I can get easily overwhelmed and tired after a busy week.

Then, I just feel like staying in and cuddling instead of being social. I appreciate you staying in with me.

9. It means so much to me that you are the shoulder I can cry on when I am stressed.

Thank you, again, for not getting frustrated with me and my anxiety.

10. I’m glad you understand that we each have busy schedules, and sometimes it can be difficult to find time to talk.

Long distance is hard, but I am so thankful we get to see each other as often as we do.

11. Thank you for giving me a chance and waiting for me.

I know I don't always wear my emotions on my sleeve, but I appreciate all that you do.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
