Death To The Demons In Our Heads

When we tell our family about the Demons in our heads they don't judge us. They beat it out of us.

I just wanted to type this up. Not just for me, but for everyone else who might be going through what I am going through at the moment. With trying new things, getting out of your comfort zone, and trying to get rid of the Demons in your head.

There are currently Demons in our heads, because we are scared, and we are afraid. Afraid to try new things, afraid of ourselves, and afraid of being judged. All our lives we have been judged by every single thing we have done/still do. It is a very horrible feeling to have things in our head giving us things to bring us down or make us have anxiety.

We don't feel safe from the judgement, from the Demons in our head. We just want to be happy for once in our life, but the Demons always get the best of us. They always make us fall down, they never let us get back up from the ground we have fallen down on. We always feel like no one wants to help us at all, but people do want to help us.

We close ourselves off from the real world, and just keep listening to the Demons in our heads, and don't pay attention to anything or anyone else. With the right group of friends, those friends will turn into family. They won't let us beat ourselves up. They listen to us, and they listen to what we want to say about the Demons in our heads. When we tell our family about the Demons in our heads they don't judge us. They beat it out of us.

We are finally starting to feel happy again, but the Demons are still there. The Demons are making us not feel like ourselves, and they are making us think we will lose people. They are making us feel like we are not good enough, but we are good enough, though. We are good enough to do our best, and to be truly ourselves. Yes, the Demons will still be there, and we just have to believe in ourselves to get rid of them. we just need someone to beat the Demons out with us. Hopefully, we found that someone already.

"And while she never felt quite normal, she was nowhere near crazy. She just loved too much. Choosing to see the world through her heart, instead of her eyes." ~ Jessica Michelle.

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.
