What Every Girl Who's 'Had Their Days' Should Remember

I have good days and bad days and everything in between.

I’ve had my days.

I am smart, but I’ve had my days. I am happy, but I’ve had my days. I am confident, but I’ve had my days. I’m in love, but I’ve had my days.

There are days we are sure of who we are but unsure how to maintain that image. We work hard to become this version of us that we hope others look up to or at the very least respect. Then there are days where we slip up, and fall flat on our faces. At my age of 23, I am all too familiar with the fall flat on your face and spill your skinny latte type days.

I am smart, but I have my days. I have failed tests that I have prepared for. But I have also failed tests that took the back burner to a Thirsty Thursday. I have gotten 100’s on quizzes I didn’t know I had, and sixty’s on ones I knew about. You can be smart and have your days.

I am happy, but I’ve had my days. I have woke up eager only to find myself completely off schedule with the smell of burnt toast reminding me I’m out of time. I have had days where the morning goes swimmingly but by lunch, I’ve had an anxiety attack so immense it brings my whole day to stop. I am happy, but I have my days.

I am confident, but I’ve had my days. I have days where I have to write in lipstick on my mirror that I am worth it just to remind myself I am. I have days where my ex-boyfriend's backhanded comments bounce from side to side in my head. I have days where I dare to wear that shirt with those shoes, and days where pajamas is all that will cut it. I am confident but i have my days.

I am in love, but I’ve had my days. I am in love with the most caring selfless man in the world but some days I cant understand why he is with me. I have days where I just want to be left alone although most woman would die for his attentiveness. I have days where date night isn’t so appealing, but I love him. I am in love, but I have my days.

Its not always about how you feel, just because we think it doesn’t make it true. I have bad days, but I have better ones ahead.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
