Life's Too Damn Short

"Be in love with your life. Every minute of it"

Life's Too Damn Short

I’ve been having the realization lately that life is too damn short to do a lot of things.

Life’s too damn short to worry about stupid things.

Life’s too damn short to not do what makes you happy.

Life’s too damn short to realize you’re not even enjoying life at all.

“You only live once that’s the motto…YOLO” –Drake

Yeah, I actually just quoted Drake.

Aside from Drake, I live by the motto and quotes “Be in love with your life. Every minute of it” and “I’ll look back on this life and smile, because it was life and I decided to live it” I wish everyone else could feel the same as I do.

I am one to look on the bright side of life. I haven’t always been this way and I’m not sure what decided to make me think this way, but I strongly feel as though life really is too short to be upset and to not be happy. What’s the point?

This may be a stupid little rant, but all I want is the best for those around me and for those around me to be happy. Yes, bad things happen and it’s hard to not always be happy; but in the times where you have the option to be happy, why not be?

Happiness should be spread. The world would be a much better place if everyone was just a little nicer to each other and if everyone was a little happier. And again, I get it, it’s hard to be happy all the time. I just want everyone to have this positive outlook on life like I do. Maybe it’s because I want everyone to be as in love with life as I am. Maybe that’s annoying to some people, but to me, I think it’s great. There’s not really a huge point in this whole rant, but I’m just so in love with life and I don’t think there’s any reason not to be.

Do what makes you happy. Who cares if someone doesn’t necessarily approve of it? If it makes you happy, why not do it? I also live by the 10/10/10 rule. Will it matter in 10 minutes? 10 days? 10 years? I make decisions based on this, and I think that’s one of the reasons I love my life. I think of things rationally, but I do what makes me happy.

And I hope everyone else can do the same.

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.
