Never Meet Your Hero

It won't be what you expect it to be.

Never Meet Your Hero

They say never meet your hero because they won't live up to your expectations, or they'll be stuck up and rude, or it just won't be what you think it is. But coming from some one who has met their idol, the reason I wish I hadn't is because nothing will ever live up to that moment again for me.

I waited four and a half years to meet my hero. Two years ago I had an opportunity to meet him but it fell through and I was devastated. A bunch of my followers on instagram had tagged him in the post I made crying about it and he commented promising me next time he was in a show I could come and see that and meet him then.

I never thought I'd actually get to.

So finally he announced he was going to be in another show and I was scared I'd never get to see it and never get to meet him, but luckily thanks to some amazing friends, I got the opportunity to go to New York and see him in person, from the front row.

It was an experience I'll never ever forget getting to meet him after the show. I cried, and was probably super embarassing, but I got two hugs from him and he was the biggest sweetheart to me. I was terrified it wouldn't be what I had imagined it to be and honestly it wasn't. It was even greater, because it was actually happening.

If you have the opportunity to meet your idol I say do it, because it's an opportunity you may never have again. So what if it isn't what you think it will be? YOU GOT TO MEET YOUR IDOL THE PERSON YOU LOOK UP MOST TO IN THE WORLD! The things they say to you could change you forever, and who knows maybe what you say to them will change them forever to.

So here's to our heroes, the ones who touch our lives, save our lives, and make us smile. And here's to getting to meet them, and letting them change our lives.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
