How could someone else's happiness disrupt yours?

Everyone always talks about standing up for what they believe in and wanting to be happy, but there are so many things in the world that stop it from being like that. As a writer, I have heard that I need to stay up on the latest of all. But I personally hate to read the paper or watch the news because all you will ever see is negative or horrible things that happen.

Everyone in this world wants the same thing. They want to live their life to their expectations, be happy and enjoy life with the ones they love. For some reason, some people think that if one set of people are happy, it will stop them from having it. How? If

How does one person's happiness stop someone else from being happy?

That question has NO answer. Not really. Imagine if people were only concerned with themselves. Imagine if laws were made to help people and not to allow or ban a specific set of people's life.

Imagine if we stop putting definitions of beauty, wealth, and happiness. It's ridiculous how many people equate happiness and wealth to money. And define beauty as a set boxed in type. These are the things that cause some people to be depressed because they cannot live up to certain standards, while others are trolled for not living up to them.

It's okay to be original, it's okay to be different. Imagine a world where we all wore what made us feel comfortable with no judgment (I'm sure I would be wearing the same things, I'm already that person). But imagine how many feet would be saved from bunions and ankles saved from being twisted. (I am that girl that used to fall on my ankle in heels.)

So I say all this to say...

Be you, no one can be a better you than you. And those who troll others because of their insecurities or just to be mean, find some joy in your life. Find out why you are miserable and fix it. Stop talking down on someone simply because it's something you cannot understand or choose not to. Imagine a world that was based on love and not hate. Helping build others up instead of tearing people down. I think the world would be a way better and healthier place.

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.

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.
