Background Watcher Of Love: A Poem
www.pixelstalk.net

I see all these couples around me

their love radiating so big

laughter so loud

I can't hear my thoughts

he kisses her with so much passion

the sun becomes a spotlight

that shines on only them

I sit in the back all alone

no company but my lovable phone

and I'm suddenly thinking to myself

"Why can't I have that?"

My friends sit around me

talking about their past, future,

and wannabe lovers

only I can't relate

because boys only see me as

"Too nice" or

"Not good enough"

I'm forever sitting in the back

watching the action go on

but never taking part

too scared of what people will think

because of a boy who said

that I wasn't good enough

My friends ask for my opinion

but all i can offer is shrugged shoulders

with mumbles of "I don't know"

and I'm suddenly thinking to myself

"Why can't I relate to my friends about boys?"

he asks me for my number

innocently flirting with me

leading me on into his heart

only to turn around and ask me

"Who's your friend? She's cute."

suddenly my confidence is gone

heart broken into pieces

and my throat choked up

as I think to myself

"Will I ever be good enough?"

but I trudge on

forever hoping that one day

a boy will love me

and cherish me for my worth

kiss my lips

make me smile

see me as his whole damn world

because I am worth everything

I am not a penny

but a dollar

I'm worth more than the boy

who said that I wasn't

his pride and joy

I am good enough

to deserve love

even if I can't see that now

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.
