I Am Who I Am And I Am Not Sorry

Like the words from the Queen herself, I ain't sorry

I Am Who I Am And I Am Not Sorry
Kasey Davis

There have been times where I have been criticized for who I am as a person and my behavior; you're too immature, you don't take things seriously, you drink too much, you do this and that blah blah blah...

I am not sorry.

I refuse to apologize for being myself, no one is better than I am and I am not better than anyone. Everyone is unique in their own way and I'm not sure why it's not okay for me to be my own person? I do things differently than others do, I cope with things differently, I love differently, I ACT differently...and so do you, you, and you. I am a good person, I am funny, I am smart, I am loving and loyal, and I love to have a good time, there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

I get called a "party girl" because I like to let loose on the weekends with my friends, but I don't care. Why? Because this "party girl" works two serving jobs while taking on 17 credit hours of hard classes because she is going into the medical field. This girl drives to two totally different cities for class and work and pays for her own gas to get to where she needs to be. This girl volunteers her personal time over the summer to coach little league softball, guess who doesn't get paid for it...you guessed it, this girl. I do it because I love the game and want to inspire these girls to better themselves at a game they love, without hesitation.


I do not apologize for being able to sleep in later than 9:30 or 10AM because my classes don't start til later, I worked the night before til 11PM, maybe later and guess what? I'M TIRED! I am allowed to sleep as much as I want if I am able, I do not know a single person who would not take advantage of that opportunity.

I do not apologize for loving to color and watch Disney movies, why? Because I do not have to "adult" 24/7; if I want to sit in my Eeyore footie pajamas and watch the Little Mermaid with a bottle of wine, you know damn well I will do it proudly and sing along with Ariel at the top of my lungs.

So next time you try telling me how to live my life, or criticize me for something I've done...just know, I am not sorry about it nor will I ever be because I am me and you are you.

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.
