To the person with anxiety,

I know you are painfully aware of your surroundings and that is ok but I need you to know a few things…

The outfit you are wearing is perfect. I don’t know if you took a long time to pick it out or not but it looks great on you. I promise that no one is going to notice that you wore that sweatshirt for the fourth time today. So what that dress shows off some cleavage? Work it girl. Those pants you have on today make your butt look fine. You seriously have nothing to worry about.

Those people over there. They are just starring off into space as they talk. Think about it…you stare off into space sometimes. They are not staring at you I promise. Even if they are starring at you…I told you that your outfit was perfect. They are probably just admiring the view. It is fine just mind your own business and they’ll mind theirs.

No, you are NOT fat and you are NOT ugly! Who told you that you were? They were wrong.

That test you are about to take. That you studied for three days for. That test is your bitch. You will pass it with flying colors. Even if you don’t. It is not the end of the world even though I know it feels like it is.

You are smarter than you think you are.

Take all the negative things that anyone has ever said about you or that you have ever thought about yourself and throw them in the fire. Those words do NOT define you. Someone else's actions and words do NOT define who you are and how you feel.

One last thing…

YOU ARE beautiful. YOU ARE smart. YOU ARE amazing. YOU ARE the worlds greatest.

But above all

You ARE loved.

So f*&k anybody who says otherwise.

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.
