5 Ways To Make The "Honeymoon" Phase Last
inspirasi.co

After being single for so long you finally find someone that sweeps you off your feet, right? He makes you forget about all the drama going on and he helps you through any sticky situation you've managed to get yourself into this time. You two finally decide to make things official and you just can't seem to get enough of each other. Everyone sees how happy he makes you, but they all say, 'Enjoy the "Honeymoon" phase while it lasts!" WHY CAN'T IT LAST FOREVER?! This is by far the happiest you have ever been with a guy and everyone just assumes it's a phase. Here are 5 ways to make this "phase" last a lifetime...

1. Communication

Communication is KEY!!! Pay attention to each other and respect each others opinions and values. Allow your boo to finish his sentence and take his thoughts into consideration. (Even if you think he's 100% wrong)

2. Compromising

Finding a common ground is uber important. You two might not agree with a lot of things and it might make the relationship a little rocky if you two are stubborn as a bull-- which most of us are but that's besides the point. Compromising and understanding both sides can help you two go so far in your relationship.

3. Prioritizing your relationship

We get it, we all have to deal with the real world at some point in our lives, but that does not mean we have to throw our relationship to the side. Make it a point to talk to each other a few times a day. Call on your way home from work or when you're walking to the library between classes. I know the world keeps us busy, but c'mon.. no one is THAT busy.

4. Trust

I cannot stress number 4 enough!!! TRUST CAN TAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP SO FAR!! Without trust how do you expect to have a relationship?? Trick question-- you can't!

5. Go on actual dates.

Netflix and Chill can cut it for a little bit but geez louise! Splurge! And no I am not talking about just the guys. Girls, you can pay too. Treat him to Buffalo Wild Wings so he can watch the game. Guys, take her to see that new Nicholas Sparks movie she's been dying to see. Think of both partners and their interest when going on these dates!

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.
