If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline — 1-800-273-8255

Please don't ever think this is an option. Please don't let something drastic happen in your life and the first solution you think of is suicide. Life is very important and I promise many lives would change without you.

Not only are you taking away your life, but someone else's as well. You leave your loved ones and spouses heartbroken and empty. You are leaving them with the way you felt.

Please understand that someone loves you and someone is willing to stand by your side and help you through whatever obstacle comes your way. Always know that there is always a rainbow in the end and whatever the issue is will pass on.

No matter what the circumstances are, you can overcome them. I want you to understand there are other options besides this permanent one. If you need help, please understand I am here for you. Before you make me live this life without you, please think about how empty I would be without you.

I want you to know that you matter. You are important whether you know it or not. This world would be different without you and that is a fact. Your friends will be hurt. Your family will long for your presence. You will be gone and it will be an empty feeling in their hearts.

There is help.

Please reach out to your family and friends and seek help because they want you here. I want you to know that this is not your only option and there are others. We want you here.

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.
