Everybody is given a different life, but that's what is unique. We are all different humans. The reasons wanting to explain why I am who I am isn't to entertain you, but it's to embrace the person beneath us all.

1. Personalities

Everybody is defined in their own way. I am defined within my personality. I am wild, but exciting. I have an open mind, but a warm heart. I know how to love, but be serious too. I am okay with my traits because this is how I grew up becoming. I grew up with struggles and challenges; don’t we all? Overall, your personality is what makes you, you.


2. Having Energy

Without energy you can be sadder, than happy. I am full of energy. I am always making others so excited that they will want to get up off their feet all the time. I think of it this way, why be so down all the time when life is just too short? Living your life, full of happiness, and excitement will keep you moving forward.

3. Making Your Own Decisions

While being you, decisions come into your way. You make decisions on what next step in life you are going to take. Whether getting a new car, or move away from home is a good idea or not. Either way, without a support system, you will be sitting right where you started. That’s when the person you are comes in. You use your skills, talents, and personality to understand if that decision is going to be okay for you or not. I make decisions off my likes and dislikes, others may be different.

4. Your Body Is Beautiful

You were given this body to love, and to embrace. Just because social media tells you otherwise doesn't mean you can't show the true you. We all need to love our bodies, they are all sorts of different shapes, sizes, and colors to show our true beauty. Our bodies help us understand the person we are, and that's amazing.


5. This Life Is Yours For A Reason

Everybody is given a specific life but making it your own is going to shape who you are. You become the person you are by learning and understanding the life you were given. You make your own decisions, you make your own traits, and skills, you are the one who makes your life the way it is.


If you don't learn the life you were given, then how will you ever be okay with the life you are given?

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.

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.
