I've Never Been "That Girl"

I've never been "that girl" who does anything right.

I will never be “That Girl”

That girl who can make any outfit look incredible, no matter what.

That girl who can make herself happy and everyone around her happy at the same time.

That girl who finds it fun to go out and party every day.

That girl who can wear no makeup, yet still be called beautiful.

That girl who gets anyone's attention simply by walking through the door.

That girl who doesn’t get hurt over people leaving her.

That girl who walks through the halls confidently.

That girl who has so many friends, she doesn’t know who to text on the weekends.

That girl who can shop and not worry about her size.

I am not That Girl.

That girl who gets 30 comments on her pictures saying she’s so gorgeous.

That girl whose hair falls perfectly in place.

That girl who leaves a relationship, and then finds herself in another, with no effort ever needed.

I’ve never been that girl who had many people confessing love to them.

That girl who people keep talking about how beautiful she is.

That girl who can do her makeup like perfection.

That girl who can take selfies and not find one single flaw about herself.

That girl who can post a picture and not stare at it wondering if someone will point out my ugliest flaws.

I’ve never been That Girl…

That girl who never asks herself

“What is wrong with me?”

That girl who can look in the mirror and smile at her reflection and not hate every inch of her body.

That girl who never questions if she is good enough.

I am not that girl... But I am This Girl.

I am the girl who has insecurities, but won’t let that define my worth.

I am that girl who doesn’t need someone to tell me I’m beautiful.

I am that girl who knows what she wants in her future, and will get it.

I am that girl who is determined to achieve her goals, whether I have someone by my side or not.

I am that girl who despite my flaws, knows I am beautiful.

I am that girl who has messy hair, messy makeup, and a twisted life.

I am that girl who doesn’t have 30 comments on my pictures.

I am that girl who knows she is good enough.

So no, I am not THAT girl, but I am THIS girl.

And that is so much more important than being “That Girl”

Love,

This Girl

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.
