It's OK To Be Single
Quotes Gram

Every day that I get on social media, it seems like I get the pleasure of witnessing friends and relatives getting into relationships. And while I’m happy for everyone, I can’t help but feel that I want a relationship, also. I want someone to have and to walk with me and to love me.

However, I also know that it is okay to be single. One day, my Prince Charming is going to make me happy. Today I am focusing on myself. Instead of feeling sad for myself, here are a few simple reminders that I have to make sure that I am happy just being in a relationship with myself.

I have my girls.

It’s true that I want a boyfriend that will love me for who I am, but I have my closest friends for that! We hold hands and have date nights just like I would with a significant other. Plus, we can go on "Grey’s" binges with pizza and not feel awful later (not much, anyway).

I dress for myself.

I know that I do not have to dress for someone else, I am able to feel confident all by myself. It’s al about confidence and power!

More time for other relationships.

Some people get lost in their relationships, so time being single can remind a person to hang out with family, friends, animals, and the great outdoors.

Finding myself.

There are numerous passions that I hold, and I’m not sure where they lie. I can take this time to find out who I truly am, and what I can do to better myself for the future.

It’s not time to settle just yet…

For the girls out there who are set and in love, I am so happy for you! However, I am not ready to settle down yet. For the girls in the same boat that I’m in, it’s okay! There are many other things that are planned in our futures!

Remember, relationships are nice and are not a bad thing. But being single is OK, too!

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.
