I Have Never Had A Boyfriend And I'm Still Living My Best Life

I'm living the best life I've had in a while.

I Have Never Had A Boyfriend And I'm Still Living My Best Life

I have been asked quite a few times in my life growing up if I have a boyfriend. I’m lucky that it hasn’t happened at the dinner table during the holidays just yet, but I would be subtly asked about it. The answer is always the same, and it has been for the past couple of years:

No, I don’t have a boyfriend. Yes, I am OK with that.

I have had crushes since I learned what puberty was. Actually, my first one was third grade when one boy in my class had hair that looked like Zac Efron from "High School Musical 2." I would learn later in life that he’s an asshole.

There have been more as time went on, and none of them I’ve dated. Being honest, I’m OK with that.

Yes, I know I’m 19 and I probably should’ve had my first boyfriend at this point, but I haven’t and it’s OK. I learned as I got older that I have been successful in my life so far without one.

I’ve been living my best life without one.

I’ve done a lot of successful things that I could mention that have been some of the happiest moments of my life, and all of them were not related to a boyfriend.

Of course, writing this so close Valentines Day, I would think the be a little iffy about finding that someone. But in reality, I’m still waiting for that special someone. It just hasn’t happened yet. I know I will have heartbreaks in the future, but I think that God has plans for me to succeed in my own doings first.

So for the time being, life is great for me. I am having the time of my life so far, and I don’t need a man by my side.

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.
