Never Give Up

Continuing is hard, but restarting is even harder.

Never Give Up
Joshua Graham

Walking away.

Acting like nothing happened.

Forgetting your responsibilities.

These are many attributes that happen when you just want to give up.

Breaking something.

Tears colliding in your eyes.

Feeling nothing.

These are the emotions that you feel when you simply want to be done.

Someone that loves you very much is watching you. They don't want you to give up. Whether that person be a significant other or maybe that person is passed away and has become your guardian angel, they don't want you to give up, so why even think about it in the first place?

Also, your academics are very important. Giving up means losing motivation to conquer your classes for the semester. Your parents, your friends, your family, and everyone else who deeply cares about you; they want you to pass, they want you to succeed. Give school everything you have and don't let it bite you in the ass. School is expensive and important, don't take it for granted.

Lastly, your family is an important cause as to why you should never give up. This can be your blood family, the ones who you grew up around, or this can be your second family (your best friends family, your boyfriends family, any family that you have taken and created yourself full of people that care about you). Your family is always there for you. They have invested so much time in money into your schooling, your education, your career, your life. They don't want to see you give up because they care about you deeply and they don't want to see their little girl or little boy fail. Don't let them see that side. Don't fail.

I have learned that talking about what is stressing me out has helped me not have as many panic attacks as I have had a lot in the past. Another thing is church; praying; anything religious. God is always someone to talk to. But I have found out that talking to my fiance has helped me a lot more because he is physically there for me.

If you need help, or are concerned about something, talk to someone. Talking helps way better than keeping it bottled up inside of you.

Don't give up.

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.
