To The Guy Who Decided It Wouldn't Work,

I am glad that you chose for me. By doing that you proved to me that I am worthy of so much more. I am a young woman with the ability to do exceptionally greater than what is expected of me. Your lack of faith in me reminded me that I am able to do anything.

I can manage classes, work, family and a social life. Believe me, I may struggle at times and it may be more difficult than I would like, but I am always able to do it. I am even able to excel at it. Time management is difficult but with faith and belief in me, I am sure we could have worked it out. I have great charisma and strength despite my anxiety and self-doubt. I have high goals and aspirations in life, and I know that if I keep doing what I am doing I will achieve them and so much more.

I am proud of how I feel and the lifestyle that I have chosen. Due to the fact, that it makes me who I am today. I am strong and I am brave. I am capable of doing much more than you, or anyone thinks for that matter. I am able to formulate my own feelings and thoughts. And I am able to communicate them when I am ready and comfortable doing so.

I deserve more than to be told how I feel. I do not have to explain myself, let alone defend my feelings. How I feel is a part of me, that I am proud of and grateful for. We live in an amazing world filled with thoughts, emotions and opinions. Our country grants us the right of given speech. So I will use mine from now on. To stop people like you from choosing my destiny for me. I am me.

So a part of me wishes you could embrace me entirely: filled with stressed, extremely busy and full of love. But the rest of me knows I deserve so much more. I would ask you to take me as I am or don't take me at all, but I think we have already chosen.

No Thank You,

The Girl With a Voice

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.
