His Words Do Not Make You

Negativity thrown your way doesn't define you

you are so much stronger than how he makes you feel

his actions do not make you

even if they break you right now..

I know you feel so hollow but are full of so much love

so much love for this being that destroys you

that rips away your happiness, that rips away your smile, that rips away that bit of hope you had

as if you were holding a beautiful rose & all of a sudden a bitter cold wind came & took it out of your hand

just like that

you don't know why this is happening

you have never experienced this feeling of disappointment

your stomach drops and all he does is rip your heart out & spit it back at you repeatedly

you are so beautiful

you are so strong

you are whole on your own

you always have been

he doesn't want you to feel like this because he does not know who he is

so he tears everything in his path apart

just like tornados do

destroying everything in its path

you need to run far away from this tornado

you will make it, trust me you will

do not doubt yourself

you do not know how strong you are

but you will find out

when you do, you will be so thankful

you will be brand new, he can never take your happiness away ever again

no one can

first you need to see this tornado, feel how strong it is, ripping away everything, then you run from it and never look back

then the reflection in the mirror is a survivor

a survivor of your past, of your own disasters

someone who was so broken but pieced their self back together

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.
