11 Things You Should Never Apologize For

We all do it. Someone barges into us in a rush and for some weird reason we end up being the ones to apologize to them. Now, I understand that some people may not have this problem, but I do. And I am working on it. So here are twelve things that you should never apologize for. You've got to fight that impulse, because at the end of the day, you may just end up having to apologize to yourself.

1. For not loving someone back/not returning someone's affection.

The fact of the matter is, "settling" or saying "I love you" when you don't mean it, or apologizing for not loving someone, is hurting you as well as the other person. You should never have to apologize for not feeling something.

2. For getting a better grade than one of your friends/classmates.

Many of us have been in this situation. Everyone gets their tests back, your classroom friend asks what you got and you say a 97 and they say, "Well sh*t. I got a 75." Do not apologize. Fight the urge. You should never apologize for being smart.

3. For sniping the last cookie or last scoop of ice cream or last anything in general.

People got to be quick. Survival of the fittest (or lack thereof in this case) and all that.

4. Don't apologize for taking your time, or going slow when others would rather you hustle your bustle.

You do you.

5. Never apologize for being bold and loud and crazy and out there.

If that's who you are, then that is beautiful. If you apologize for being different, then you are apologizing for being yourself and that is not okay.

6. Never apologize for crying.

Sometimes you need to let it all out.

7. Never apologize for liking a certain show or a certain band or a certain artist.

Who cares if someone hates Taylor Swift (although, I don't know how anybody could hate TayTay).

8. Never ever ever apologize for your sexuality.

It really does not matter who you like, all that matters is who you are.

9. Never apologize for dancing or singing (even if you're bad at it or no one else is doing it).

10. Never apologize for your body.

11. Never apologize for living life fantastically.

The only person you need to apologize to if you do something (even if it was not your fault) is your mom, your boss, and whoever cuts your hair.

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.

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.
