My Appreciation For My Real Friends And Family On My Birthday
Free Large Images

Gemini season is finally here which is my birthday season. My birthday actually just passed on June 15, 2016. It was one of my best birthdays and I went to one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta: Bartaco. I decided to write about what I experienced on birthday and realized. On this day, you realize a lot of different things. I realized that I am getting older, life goes by just extremely fast, life is so short, and also who my real friends are. There are just different things that your real friends do on your birthday to show you that they really care for you. Before I elaborate, I just want to make it clear that I am not salty at all about people not telling me happy birthday or not caring that it was my birthday; I just really appreciate my friends who really go all out for me.

The main thing I always notice are the people who tell me happy birthday because they actually remember versus the people that tell me happy birthday after they see a post about it on social media. I mean we are all busy I understand that, but if we are actually really close friends I kind of expect you to remember mine. So many people that I call my close friends are usually the ones to forget and I never can understand why because I am always the one to hype up my friends when their birthday comes so I mean I expect them to do the same. I also find it crazy when people on social media that I do not know tell me happy birthday before my friends do. It just makes me feel like in real life only a few people care about me.

I love my family though; they really go out for my birthday. All the birthday love that I get from them is amazing. I always have a great birthday because of them. They show that they truly care about me and that they are excited to see me grow and get older. I always feel so loved by them not just on my birthday but every day. I really would not trade my family for any other family.

Also I appreciate my best friend, Jazmyn, for always being there for me on my birthday. I have celebrated every birthday with her since I met her in the seventh grade. I mean she is the best, best friend anyone can ask for. To always be there to celebrate with me on my birthday means a lot to me and no matter how busy she is she never complains. I love her so much.

So, to conclude my mini rant again I am not salty about people not telling me happy birthday or not caring that it was my birthday. I just want to show my love and appreciation for the people that always go all out for me on my birthday continuously. I love you guys so much.

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.
