I Have Changed And That Is Okay

A lot of people tell me I have changed and they are right I have

I Have Changed And That Is Okay

I am typically not the one who enjoys a change. I like things to stay the same. Change makes me anxious. But I am going to admit I have changed a lot as a person over the past few months and that is okay.

I have had a lot of people look at me and say "you have changed" and sometimes I don't know if they mean it in a good way or a bad way but, that does not really matter. Some people look at me and do not even recognize me. They are not used to the person I have became. I feel as though I have changed for the better. I have grown up more, I don't care what people think anymore, I am more open about my beliefs, and I don't let people run over me anymore. I go out more and hangout with my friends more. I am way more outgoing and I have broken out of my shell that I was stuck in for so long. I am more care free.

I have been through a lot in the past (almost) year. I moved away to school, then I came back. I started back school at a new university. I moved out on my own. I found out I was cheated on. I got my heart broken. I had to let go of the love of my life. All of these things can make a person change and, this is definitely true for me.

I am so grateful for my change however. I feel so much better as a person. And now I am not as scared of change. I know I can handle change now and that all change is not bad.I don't crave stability as much as I used to. I realize now that life is always changing and you just have to roll with it.

Through every thing I have grown and changed into a stronger and healthier person. I have a more positive outlook on life as well.

So, yes I have changed and that is okay. No I am not the same person as I used to be but, I still have the same morals. A lot of people tend to think that I just like to party now and go out but, I really don't. Yes I have more fun now but, I still have a good head on my shoulders and I still have my priorities straight.

Going through a lot of tough times will make you change as a person. But through it all you will come out being a better person I believe.

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.

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.
