Life Can Be Hairy Sometimes

Did you know that life is a lot like hair?

Thought of the day: Life is like hair…

Seriously it is.

Long & Short

Some people have long hair and some have short hair. We don’t know exactly how long our lives will be, only God knows. Some of us live to be 100 years old and others lives may not even last 10 minutes. Same goes for the fact that everyone has their own style of hair that best suits them just like everyone lives their own lifestyles. Just as they should.

Crazy

Some days are just stressful… like trying to fix your hair when it refuses to do what you want it to do. It is best to just throw on a hat (or fake smile) and go on with the day when things just aren’t going your way.

Sometimes a little hairspray goes a long way.

Pretty

I love the pretty days in life when all is nice and perfect. The best days are the great hair days for sure, just like in life when everything is going your way. Not every day starts out perfect, just like when you roll out of bed and have some major bed head going on. You make your hair look better, or you make your day go better. Your day is what you make it.

To cut or not to cut

Why is it that one of the hardest choices is to decide whether or not to let your hair grow out long or to cut it back short? Sometimes the easiest decision isn’t the right one. Waiting for something is usually way more worth it rather than doing something for temporary happiness. Just like cutting your hair sounds like the best idea in the moment, however, if you wait and let it grow long like you want then it will be worth the wait.

Hair color

No matter what color your hair is doesn’t make you a different person from the rest. If you want your hair naturally brown or if you want your hair bright pink that is your choice. Don’t let others tell you that you can’t be YOU. Express yourself the best way that you know how.

So, whatever kind of hair day we are having or what kind of life we are living, everyone is different and it is up to you on how your day turns out or how your hair looks. Sure the weather could affect our hair, but we find a way to make it work. Just like in life, don’t let others bring you down. Make your life your own!

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.
