Chick-fil-a, you once again are the good guy. In the aftermath of the Orlando shooting, Chick-fil-a was a ray of hope. As many people know, Chick-fil-a is not open on Sundays, but on Sunday after the shooting, Chick-fil-a was open to give food to people who were donating blood for the survivors of the traumatic attack.

Chick-fil-a is a company that is very open about their Christian views, and their CEO even has stated that he does not agree with the homosexual lifestyle. On that Sunday, Chick-fil-a showed exactly where their values lie, and that is with helping people, no matter what. They did not care that the injured were homosexual; they knew they were human and did what they could to help.

Chick-fil-a did not have to help at all, much less help people whose lifestyle they don’t agree with, but they did, because they are called to love their community. Chick-fil-a never ceases to amaze me with how they show love to everyone. It is something that everyone should look to and see what real love is. They did not announce it to the world, but people noticed and were amazed by how they showed support. Thank you, Chick-fil-a, for showing hope and love at a time when it is hard to see past the pain and terror.

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.
