5 Traits To Look For In A Partner Before Committing.

1. Hobbies

If they do not have any hobbies of their own, chances are pretty probable in the long run they are not going to want you to have any either. Make sure your level of happiness matches, that includes hobbies and being around other people. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not allowed to do something that you really enjoy. If your potential partner is weird about you playing your favorite sports on a league with your dudes, or if they are weary about you joining a new yoga class or going to the gym... BYE BYE!

2. Dedication

Observe how dedicated they are in all aspects of life. Look for someone who wants to achieve the best and are dedicated to not only you, but themselves as well. Someone who is not motivated may bring you down a dark path and could make your life extremely depressing.

3. Family

Watch how they speak to your family, their family, and their friends family. It means a lot having respect and being presentable. There should never be a time where your partner questions your family either. If they do - or try and take time away, that is a huge red flag. A big no no.

4. Trust

Once you guys get over the lovey stuff and start figuring our each others corks be sure to trust them. I know you are SOO IN LOVEEEE. That does not mean look through phones, go through rooms, and stalking each others social media. It means let each other live the lives you love, figure it out together, and trust one another. If you care - you know that person would never do anything to hurt you. If they do, and destroy that trust - call it quits. There is no room for mistrust in a relationship. It will destroy you.

5. Friendship

Friendship is so important! As in - make sure the person has at least ONE best friend. If you find someone who does not have friends - chances are pretty probably you will be getting a crazy person as a partner. Look at their friends and get to know them, it will say a lot about that person. ALSO, establishing a friendship between you and your potential partner is critical. Take it slow, make sure you can be yourself around them. Don't start out some lovey dovey person and turn into one of those narcissists who reel you in the first month then start calling names and getting possessive. If your potential partner is talking smack about their only friend as well - ICKYYYY BYEEEEEEEE. NO WAY.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
