A Reminder To My Girl

I'm not saying that you need saving, because you're way stronger than I could ever be.

I never used to pay attention to small details. I just focused on the same things that everyone else knew about people. I guess I didn't care enough, and why would I? They weren't different, or special, or intriguing. They weren't worth remembering, so details never mattered. But with you, I want to know everything.

I just want to know you. I want to know what keeps you up at night when I'm not there. I want to know your deepest secrets, even the ones you think I'll judge you for. I want to know why you feel like you deserve so much less when in reality you deserve the universe. I want to know why you chose me. Every detail is important. I want to notice every freckle, every scar, every blemish. I want to know YOU.

What makes you cringe? What makes you smile until your cheeks hurt? What is your future going to be? I want you to realize that nothing could ever change my feelings for you. You have entered my life, and completely reconstructed how I feel about everything. Everything has new meaning and not many things matter.

I want to do everything with you, just to see you grin. I want to show you new things, and protect you from any negativity. You've already been through way too much, and I hate that you had to go through it on your own, but those things have elapsed, and you're here now. Everything in your past has led you to this moment. I'm in love with the person you are today. So, please let me continue to know you. Let me learn from you, teach you, laugh with you.

I'm not saying that you need saving, because you're way stronger than I could ever be. I am saying that I'm here forever. I'm here because I want to be. I'm here because at this point, I need to be. I just want to know you, maybe even more than myself.

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.
