This one is for you girls that are seeking the impossible. The ones who have 100 seconds worth of snaps with a million friends, yet still feel alone. Those girls who have over 100+ likes, yet still lack the ability to "like themselves..." This is for you.

I find it hard to believe that in this world full of women, I have yet to find someone willing to admit that they are not okay. That every day they wake up forcing themselves to put up with the bullshit of society throws at them daily. That the makeup they put on just to go to the corner store is a cover up of all the insecurities they have, yet nobody notices. How many times have you asked your friend if they needed to talk? Checked on them to make sure mentally and emotionally they were stable? This generation is so caught up in the life of unrealistic dreams that we don't even realize that we're slowly demolishing ourselves.

Take some time to breathe for once. Admit to yourself that you're not okay. Admit that you're not content with the circle that you keep around you. Admit that you're not financially stable. Admit that mentally you're so close to jumping off the edge of that cliff. If nobody sees you, I do. Stop saving everyone and save yourself. This money that you spend on others just to secure a friendship, stop. This man that you know isn't right for you, that you constantly make excuses for, stop. These past struggles that you keep using as a crutch to prevent your progress, STOP. It's time to suck it up and move on. It's time to give yourself the happiness you deserve. You're gonna waste your entire life fighting to make society happy when it could honestly care less about you

To All The Ladies In The Place, stand up for you. You owe it to yourself to be secure in yourself. Only for you, and nobody else. You don't owe anyone anything. Money, food, sex, car rides, or emotional attention. Take some time and think about what's best for you. Remove those toxic people, get rid of those bad habits and make yourself happy baby girl. You owe it to yourself. We all do.

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.
