Mirror Mirror on the wall

How can you tell when you are in love?

You can't... you just know it

I think I've been in love

No you haven't

Why do you Say so?

Because, you think. I said you'll know

But I was in a long distance relationship for almost two years

Time has nothing on love and that does not mean anything.

Why else would I be with someone I hardly see for that long?

The right question is... What about him did you fall in love with?

I never met him, I don't know

Exactly

Ok maybe not him, I was in love with the other guy

How do you know?

Because I was stupid, i broke all my laws to please him even when he did not care and threw it back in my face.

No, you were not in love

Why else would I be so stupid to put him before everything?

You were stupid because you knew you did not have to take the blame, you knew you could blame it on love, that's not love!

Okay maybe not them, I was in love with the other, other guy

How so?

Well I always liked to be with him...

You sound like you were lonely and vulnerable that's not love.

Oh wow... maybe not him but I was definitely in love with this other, other, other guy

Go on

He was so mature, like very mature, he had amazing lips, and every time he's present, my heart gets heavy, when he hugs me, I just feel so alive! His voice was like melody to my ears.

That's not love

What!?... What do you mean?

You saw something you like and your hormones got excited.

This is confusing

No it’s really not.

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

How then do I know when I'm in love?

When you stop looking forward to it, when you cannot question It, when it happens... you will know

Okay.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
