Dear Lost Girl,

I can see that you are misguided, lost in this game that we play called life. I understand things may not be going your way, but I know you will come out of this strong.

I know you count down the days until you can find your way back to your true home.

I know you resent many things in your life too.

But, I know you will push through and conquer whatever life hands you.

Please wipe those tears from your face. The tears that you have shed in your unhappy moments. Erase the dark clouds that hover above you as you cry. You are better than that and I know it.

Please, lost girl. Do not feel like this is the end. That life is always bad. Lost girl, you will always have a family here waiting for you when the time is ready. A family that will provide you the love that you deserve.

Do not believe that your true family does not love you. They hold a love so strong for you. It may not seem like it, but it is true.

Listen lost girl, the clouds may be thick at the moment, but soon they will clear. Your pathway to your happiness will be visible again.

Hold strong even at your weakest moments.

When you feel as though the world will crash down at your feet, you stand up tall and keep your head held high.

I commend you for not showing your fears so blatantly to the world. For smiling through the pain, even when the tears were starting to overpower. For not being a fragile girl that people expected you to be.

You are amazing, and you are a force to be reckoned with. Please do not let anyone rob you of your innocence, from the happy moments in your life that you possess.

Continue to push through any bullies that come your way. Hop through all the obstacles you face in life. Come out being the star.

Come out with a fresh face filled with happiness and joy. A life filled with crazy adventures with crazy friends.

A life knowing that you lived it to the fullest and did not feel pressured negatively to fulfill a role not meant for you.

You may be lost right now, but you will find your way. Nothing in life comes easy and I understand it sucks. But, I know you. I know your will. Your beauty. Your drive. You will succeed, and you will conquer.

Trust me.

Sincerely,

A girl who was once lost.

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.
