Admit it, you've probably done it...

You see a super cute guy, who you think is so perfect, everything about him is attractive. That is until he starts diminishing your self-worth, telling you what to do, dismissing your opinions, and the list goes on and on. You know you should leave the relationship, but you don't. You stay and let everything he does eat away at you because you know it's not OK for him to treat you this way and you know that this relationship is far from healthy. Yet time and time again you let yourself go through with it.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, you need to get out of there.

I'm sorry to say this but leave him. Leave him if he makes you feel any less than what you are. Leave him if he tries changing you. Leave him if he does anything that you don't like. He is not in charge of you. He is not in any way allowed to tell you what to do or who you are. You are so much more than this relationship and if he doesn't see how valuable you are, don't worry about him.

Leave him. It is not worth sacrificing your mental health over.

You deserve so much and if he can't give it to you, why stay? Why hurt your heart even more? It is not worth it. More importantly, he is not worth it. Losing who you are for a guy who only wants to change you is freaking crazy. If he doesn't love you the way you are, he doesn't really love you.

You may love him, but it's not worth losing yourself over.

These kinds of relationships do real damage to your mental health and that is not OK. Leave him.

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.
