This One's For You

To the ones who have an option to choose they are alone in the world, and those who choose to believe that being single on Valentine's Day isn't ok.

This One's For You
Freestocks.org

For you.

For you, to the one who's sitting at home by yourself.

For you to the one who's lonely and thinks that the world doesn't need your existence.

To you, the one who looks around and sees nothing but sweetness shared by couples only. To you, the person who isn't going to be able to receive anything because your situation, financially, is tough right now. To you, the homeless men and women living underneath a bridge. This is to you to those who are halfway across the world or those who are no longer here with us mentally or physically.

Happy Valentine's Day to you! We miss you and we all still love you.

You don't need anyone to celebrate Valentine's day with. You don't need a spouse to enjoy love. Yes, I know it'd be nice to spend it with someone at least. But if you look around the entire world, if you really want to spend time with someone on Valentine's day. Look for the homeless person sitting on the streets. Look for the souls who are looking for the needs, for the time, for the love, for the appreciation. Look for those people. You can celebrate Valentine's day with a homeless guy. Share some love, take them out and buy them some new clothing. Help them find a job.

By the end of the day, instead of spoiling people who already have things, people who can earn for themselves, use it for the needy. Spend time with people who need you. You can learn a lot from them. You will hear their stories. You will feel thankful for what you have. You will feel better than anything in the world. Knowing you can make the world a better place. Your heart and soul will feel blessed.

You can choose to love yourself, share your love with not just the people you know of, but with strangers as well. If you want to make your well known 'MERICA "great again". Love should be distributed across the world, to everywhere and everyone. Love should happen every day. Not just on Valentine's day. It's ok to not have someone to love, to share the day with. Love is a wonder worthy experience. Love is a forever experience. Love is right here. Love is everywhere. Love is you.

Love is Valentine's Day. Love is sharing. Love is about compromising and appreciating everything anyone who does things to be with you, to keep you. Love is greatness. Love is ok. Love fails, but doesn't it arise over and over again? Love is what builds the streets and cities. Love is wonderful. So love every day, and not just on February 14th.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

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.
