Get Yourself A Guy Who Treats You Like A Priority

You deserve a guy who treats you right.

Like any other girl my age, I’ve had a few boyfriends. All of them didn’t work out for a few different reasons, but now I’m realizing those relationships didn’t work out because of one common reason: they were selfish.

It didn’t take me until now, when I’m in an actual good relationship, to realize.

Those guys wouldn’t communicate, and they put me as a second option. They didn’t care how I was feeling as much as they cared about their own feelings. I was always there for them when they needed a shoulder to cry on, but as soon as I needed someone, they were busy.

I’ve never been too picky with guys. If I liked a guy, I would do anything for him, even put my own feelings to the side. I was always the one who cared more.

It wasn’t until my last relationship, that I started to be picky about the guys I let in. I started to realize that I deserve better than to be a second option or a way to get back at an ex.

My boyfriend now cares more about my feelings than he does his own, and I care about his feelings more than I care about my own. I realized that that’s what you need in a good relationship. You need someone who will put you first and protect you and you need to do the same for them.

I’ve never noticed how crappy I was actually being treated by guys until I was being treated exactly how I’ve always wanted to be treated by a guy.

He makes me the happiest I've ever been. This year has been a pretty difficult and stressful year, but then he came into my life and turned it around. Not every girl realizes their worth, especially when it comes to guys. But every girl deserves to realize that they deserve better than that guy who doesn't treat her right.

Every girl deserves a guy who will be their rock and protect them. Every girl deserves a guy who makes them genuinely happy and makes them a priority, not an option.

Every girl deserves those "good morning" and "goodnight" texts. Every girl deserves that genuine "I love you."

Every girl deserves a guy who is everything they’ve ever wanted or needed. If you don’t have that guy, go find him. You deserve better than the guy who treats you as an option.

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.
