I Believe In A World Where...

I believe in so many things but these are just some of the few.

I Believe In A World Where...

I believe in many things. I believe in honesty and forgiveness. I believe in second chances and true love. I believe that music has the power to save someone's life and that books are more than just words; they're a source of hidden adventures. I believe in many things...

I believe in a world of no evil. I believe in a world where children aren't being hurt; not physically, not emotionally, and not sexually. Where the innocence of a child is not robbed at a young age and everyday can be looked at as a gift, not some horrible nightmare.

I believe in a world with the power of love. I believe in equality and that love does win. I believe in the power of loving whom ever it is that you love. I believe in girls who love girls. I believe in boys who love boys. I may be a girl who is interested in boys, but that doesn't mean I can't stand up for the power of love.

I believe in a world where one voice can make a difference but a thousand voices can make a movement. I believe in the power of free speech and being open to different opinions. I believe in expressing your views and sharing your thoughts but always keeping it respectful to those around you.

I believe in a world where the way I dress, the color of my hair, or the tattoos and piercings I hope to one day get don't get judged. I believe in being able to express who you are and express your personality through your clothes and body and that I am judged for who I am, not for how I look.

I believe in a world where the victim is never at fault and victim shaming isn't a thing. I believe that no person asks to be harmed in any way. I believe that the way one acts or dresses does not give an 'invitation' to be taken advantage of. I believe in the word no and that it means no.

I believe in many but these are some of the few. I believe in who I am and in myself. The world we live in is far, and I mean far from perfect. It takes more than one person to make a difference and it takes more than one voice to start a movement. I believe there is still faith in humanity. I believe in hope and I hope you do 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.
