5 Instagram Poets You Need To Be Following

No matter who you are, even if you are the most unromantic person out there, I think everyone can enjoy a good line on love every now and then. If you’re like me and you’re a complete hopeless romantic, too much so for your own good, then I know you can appreciate one. With social media some would say romance is dead. Love sonnets replaced with Snapchat messages and love letters replaced with goodnight texts riddled with emojis. Luckily, there are a few folks out there who still have a belief in romance and are good at putting the pen to the page and writing them out. Here are a few poets you can follow on Instagram with nice lines on love and life.

1. Tyler Knott Gregson, insta: @tylerknott

I discovered Tyler Knott Gregson a couple years ago while I was scrolling through Pinterest and he quickly became one of my favorites. He has a series called the "Typewriter Series" that most of his poems come from. He also has a wonderful book called "Chasers of the Light." In the meantime though follow his Instagram, because apart from being an amazing poet he’s also a great photographer.

2. R. M. Drake, insta: @rmdrk

Only recently have I discovered R. M. Drake. I'm sure you've unknowingly seen some of his work on your Pinterest page because he's very popular on the site. I love his work, and I promise, you will too.

3. Lang Leav, insta: @langleav

Lang Leav is my all time favorite. Her words are simple, but they hit you deeply. I don't know if there is a poem of hers that I dislike. She has three books of poems out now, and a debut novel coming out soon. So be on the lookout.

4. Atticus, insta: @atticuspoetry

I like to let Atticus' words speak for him. So go check him out because he's pretty great.

5.Nikita Gill, insta @nikita_gill

I love how Nikita places her words. She has a book coming out that you can pre-order, but for now her Instagram feed is open for your enjoyment.

Now that you have these great new poets to follow you can sit back and let your heart be moved by their lovely words, and maybe they'll even inspire you to try out your own poetic side. So give them each a follow, you won't regret it.

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.

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.
