I Won’t Marry A Prince If It Means I Lose My Life

Meghan Markle can keep her castle. I don’t envy her at all.

I Won’t Marry A Prince If It Means I Lose My Life

A couple of days ago I overheard a conversation between two girls. They were discussing the Royal Wedding. It went something like this:

Girl 1: I want to marry a prince, too.

Girl 2: Are you crazy? Why would you?

Girl 1: I wouldn’t have to work or study anymore, my life would be set.

Girl 2: Yeah, and you would be bored to death, too.

Ever since people started talking about this event, I got bored. Yes, prince Harry is hot. Yes, Meghan is lucky she met him through a blind date. But truth is, it is just a wedding. At least that’s what I thought.

After hearing these two girls arguing about how crazy the other was for wanting – or not wanting – to marry someone from Royalty, I decided to investigate a little.

I found out that, in order to marry Harry, Meghan must quit a lot of things. Here are some of them:

Her job

Her career

Her dog

Her social media platforms

Her clothes

Her religion

Selfies

Her right to vote

Going out in public by herself

Now I ask myself, is it really worth it?

Is it worth it to leave almost everything you’ve ever earned, everything you’re used to doing on a regular day, just to be part of a royal family?

Would you leave your dog?

Would you quit your dream job?

Would you sacrifice your personal style just to marry a prince?

I don’t have to think about it twice. I would never give up so many important things in order to be with a man who may, or may not, end up being the love of my life.

As far as I’m concerned, Meghan Markle can keep her prince and her castle, because I’d rather be successful.

I’d rather have a career I love. I’d rather keep my dog. I’d rather be able to go out whenever I can and shop whatever clothes I want to wear.

I couldn’t care less about “being royal”.

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.
