Do Not Let The Cupcake Phase Die

Unless you want your relationship to.

For anyone who doesn't know what the cupcake phase is, it's typically the beginning of a relationship when both people are very affectionate towards each other, and they spend all their time together.

PLOT TWIST.

The cupcake phase doesn't have to be just the beginning of your relationship. It doesn't have to end after the first couple of weeks. The cupcake phase does NOT have to end.

The term "cupcake phase" is just a social construct that lets (typically) the guy not feel bad for not being sweet anymore. Using this term allows the guy to be "off the hook" for not being as sweet as he was at first. It lets guys feel like they no longer have to send flowers or sweet good morning/night text messages.

But I call bull shadoody.

If you REALLY want your relationship to last, do not let the cupcake phase die. Keep it going. Keep flirting with each other like you did at first. Keep giving each other endless amounts of smooches. Keep cuddling. Keep holding hands everywhere you go. Keep giving your partner compliments.

If you don't want the fire to go out, don't let it. Don't get lazy. Don't get unaffectionate. If you want your relationship to work, you can't stop doing the things you did to get the relationship. That's not how love works.

So just love your partner. Love your partner to the best of your abilities. Never stop trying. Don't let your cupcake phase die unless you want your relationship too.

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.
