In Case You Need To Hear It

Dear friend,

In case you need to hear it, I love you. Yes, I mean it. If you failed your test, if you are going through a hard time, if you think you can't go on, I love you.

In case you need to hear it, I am proud of you. I am proud of who you are, and I am proud of who you are becoming. I am proud of who you want to be, and I am proud of who you will always be. I am proud of your dreams. I am proud of your achievements. I am proud of you for getting up after you fall. I am proud of your smile. I am proud of you.

In case you need to hear it, I believe in you. I believe that you can do anything that you set your mind to. I believe that no one can ever do what God meant for you to do. I believe that whatever you are going to, if you let it, will make you a better person. I believe that you will get through this. That we will get through this, because I know that no matter what, you will never be alone. And although I will always try to be there for you, if I am not, God will be there.

In case you need to hear it, you are unique. You are unique and the best you anyone could ever be. You are special because if you weren't, God wouldn't have taken the time to make you. God believes in you. He doesn't make mistakes. You are not a mistake. You are unique and you have a purpose. If you are sad and feel like your life has no purpose, remember that God made you for a reason. You are unique.

In case you need to hear it, you are worth it. Don't ever feel like you are not. If you weren't, I wouldn't be writing this for you. It is acceptable to feel sad, but don't let that defeat you. You are greater than your mistakes, and God's grace is greater than your sin. You are worth it, God thought so when He died for us.

In case you need to hear it, God loves you. Please don't let this world tell you He doesn't. Don't let this world become your source of answers. It will tell you you are not loved, you are not cared for, you are not special. It is a lie. It is all a lie. Find the truth in God. God is love. Find the truth in love.

In case you need to be reminded, Jesus knew who you would become. The grades you would make. The mistakes you would do over and over again. The people you would love. The people you would hate. All the things you are. Jesus knew all of that, and He still loved you so much, He chose to die for you. If you don't believe any of the above, at least believe this. This is the most important of all.

Love,

A friend who needs to hear that from time to time too.

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.
