"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind"

There's something about losing your way that changes you in a way we can't explain. You get frustrated, you get confused and you start to lose your ways. Really, sometimes life gets in the way and you start to feel like you're changing as a person.

Your personality changes from you to vague, you really can't seem to find happiness in anything you do, and you yourself are drowning within yourself.You lose interest in things you do and things you love, and you change your emotions towards the ones you love.

You have to find that fate and good when you feel lost. We are all growing as people. We are all only human. We have our good days and our bad days. We make mistakes; we live and we learn. We have so much support and love around us we didn't even know it.

Without my family and close friends, I would be nothing. My mom is always there to listen and guide me through tough situations. She made me realize I serve a greater purpose in life than to be sad about situations or faults I had no control over.

Understand that everything happens for a reason. It's OK not to be OK for a while. Things always get worse before they get better. You have to have faith and keep going. Take those baby steps into each day.

There will come a day where you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world because you realize there's so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on.

So in the end sometimes you have to lose yourself to discover who you might yet be. Sometimes what feels like breaking down is really just breaking free. There's no statute of limitations on starting over and reinventing yourself.

Be brave enough to find the life you want, and courageous enough to chase it. I promise the day you truly find yourself again will be the day you quit trying to fit into a world that was not fit for you or your happiness.

Always remember your value isn't in your doing or saying--it's in your being.Your worth is far beyond what you know, my darling, so just keep the faith.

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.
