Let's Start Over

There isn't a better time to make a better you than you and that time is now.

So its the start of a new year and there is a lot to look forward to. There are going to be new experiences and more memories made. Make this year yours. If you had a rough year in 2016 make 2017 the year of your triumph. Here are some steps to help you out.

1. Think positive thoughts.

The year won't be good if you don't think positive. If you take every bad experience and make them a learning experience than you will succeed.

2. Change your ways.

Life is about change. We all change in everything we do, what we experience and everyone we meet. Have others help you realize who you truly are. They will be there for you and don't shy away from great opportunities. Changing is a way of life and sometimes, if not most of the time, change is for the better.

3. Overcoming adversity.

Life will throw obstacles in your way. However, it depends on you whether or not you will succeed. Once you come to a roadblock don't turn around and give up. Figure out ways to go around it and keep moving forward.

4. Set goals.

I was watching some videos and they have had this message. If you put your mind to it and work really hard to succeed, you will achieve that success.


Take all of the points listed here and use them to create the best year for you. Don't let anyone say that you can't because I know you can. There isn't a better time to make a better you than you and that time is now.

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.
