Date Yourself In Your '20s Because Happiness Isn't found In Other People

Go to the store, buy yourself a box of chocolates and stop whining about being single.

Anne Perkins from Parks and Recreation dated herself after a bad breakup and I think we all should too.

Go to the store, buy yourself a box of chocolates and stop whining about being single. This time in your life is valuable and it shouldn’t be wasted waiting for someone who isn’t there. I promise you that the person your supposed to be with will come into your life when they’re supposed to, not necessarily when you want them to.

Right now is the perfect time to figure out want you want, who you are and where you want to be. Figuring yourself out is so much easier when no one is there to influence your decisions. This doesn’t mean you’ll find all the answers but you’ll get closer to the ones you’re looking for.

Take the time to get to know yourself and find what makes you happy. You’ll find yourself feeling more confident because you are doing what's best for you and relying on yourself to reach your goals.

Most people in their 20’s are figuring out what to do with the rest of their life. You shouldn’t be spending this time getting to know what your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to do with theirs because your goals are important and so are you.

Love your friends! Right now, you are building relationships with the people who will stand by your side through the bad times, the funny times and one day at your wedding. So make memories with them, invest in them, and let them know you care.

Lastly, don't be too hard on yourself. You 20's are also the years you'll mess up a lot. Remember that your past isn't your future and you've still got so many things ahead.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
