Interested in getting into the beautiful and magical world of Japanese animated movies, but don't know where to start? Here is a list of some of my personal favorites! I love animated movies, but I must admit it could be a little difficult to branch out into other types of animated movies that are not Disney or Pixar. Studio Ghibli is regarded as the Disney of Japan and they continuously are instant classics.

1. "Princess Mononoke"

Looking for something full of action and adventure for your next movie night? Look no further than "Princess Mononoke", a film full of breathtaking visuals and fantastic characters. You won't regret taking part in this epic adventure!

2. "Spirited Away"

Join Chihiro as she tries to save her parents in the wonderfully whimsical world of "Spirited Away". If you are looking for something completely unique with gorgeous animation and a creative story, look no further than this classic film!

3. "Kiki’s Delivery Service"

"Kiki's Delivery Service" is just a pure and innocent film that follows a young witch and her adventures as a delivery girl for hire. Give this one a try if you are in the market for a perfectly simple story with a lovable main character!

4. "Howl’s Moving Castle"

When hat maker Sophie gets turned into an old woman by an evil witch, she has no choice but to join forces with a flamboyant wizard named Howl who lives in a magical moving castle. It's the perfect "weird in a good way" flick that that is guaranteed to steal your heart!

5. "My Neighbor Totoro"

"My Neighbor Totoro" is a Studio Ghibli classic that follows two sisters who move into a new house and find a strange collection of strange monsters that live in a secret forest in their yard. It's absolutely adorable and always a fun time.

6. "Grave of the Fireflies"

"Grave of the Fireflies" is literally one of the most depressing movies of all time, but it's also one of the best. It follows the story of two siblings living in WWII Japan, and their struggles of dealing with war is is both thought-provoking and hauntingly beautiful.

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.

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.
