Life is all about the little things that make you smile. Sometimes, when you’re in a low place, all you need to think of is the simple things that make you happy for no reason.

This is for those days where you can’t seem to find any sunlight in the clouds. This is for when you’re having the worst day possible and can’t find any good in anything.

This is to remind those of you who are in bad places in your lives that there is plenty of good things in life, and you can find happiness in the smallest of things.

1. Coffee!

2. Naps!

3. Beach days; feeling sunkissed and tired from just sitting on the beach all day!

4. Sunsets!

5. Sunrises!

6. Singing along to some good tunes in the car with your closest friends!

7. Finishing a really good book that you wish never ended!

8. Those nights with your friends where you talk about everything and open up about things you’ve never opened up about!

9. Road trips!

10. Watching your friends achieve their goals in life and fall in love!

11. Bonfires!

12. Taking pictures in cool, new places!

13. Musicals!

14. Baking (even if you’re bad at it)!

15. Getting a new foundation!

16. Blasting music with some poppin’ bass while driving!

17. Movie nights!

18. Hot cocoa on a cold night!

19. Fresh sheets!

20. Realizing you’re falling in love again!

21. Telling the people you love that you love them!

22. The first kiss with someone you’ve been dying to kiss!

23. Butterflies!

24. Text messages from unexpected people!

25. Ice cream!

26. Meeting new people!

27. When random strangers compliment something about you or your outfit!

28. Complimenting a stranger!

29. Friendships that are bursts of positivity!

30. Realizing how great the people in your life are and how much you adore them!

31. Waiting for something you’re excited about!

32. Watching a really good movie for the first time!

33. Discovering new songs that put your thoughts into words!

34. Getting new lotions and perfumes!

35. Nights where the sky is full of stars!

36. Freshly shaving your entire body!

37. Reaching a goal that you worked so hard for!

38. Nights where you have no homework!

39. Laughing so hard your sides hurt!

40. Realizing that you’ll be okay!

Even when there are days where going on with life seems impossible and there aren't any reasons to be happy, I promise that there are so many beautiful things about life.

There are thousands of good things in life and there are always reasons to live.

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.
