To the Girl Who Wears Her Heart on Her Sleeve,

IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY! IT IS OKAY TO WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE! I tell you it is okay for something to hurt more than it should. You are a special gem. You feel things that many people don’t. It may suck, but I tell you darling that it makes you unique. You have a bravery to share your heart with people who may not understand. You hurt. You fear. You don’t understand. You are the one that sees light in the darkness. 

I will be one of the first people to tell you that feelings are disastrous. They can cause you so many problems and heartaches. You feel everything. You let people in that you believe will be trustworthy and with that person comes every feeling imaginable. You have your highs and lows. You feel the good things, but then you can also feel the worst. No matter how hard you try Sweet Heart, you can’t push those feelings aside. You are going to feel them and people are going to be able to see how you feel on your face. This does not make you weak. 

When it comes to relationships, things can become difficult. You can be seen clingy because you want to get to know the person and you want to get to know every little thing. When you love, you love with your whole heart. Girl, I tell you that it is okay to love with your whole heart. You pour yourself into that person and you may get broken, but imagine how amazing it will be when you find Mr. Right! You are an all or nothing person. When you give your all to the right person, they will see that and reciprocate. 

Wearing your heart on your sleeve does not make you naïve, it makes you strong, genuine, and real. You won’t always act like you have it together and people will take notice and will confide in you. It increases the quality of your friendships. Darling, when you tell others what you are feeling, you are showing courage. You are sharing a piece of you that individual notice and will talk to you about. 

Darling, don’t let anyone tell you what to feel or what you shouldn’t feel. You are you. You can’t turn feelings off. You are going to feel what you feel. You are special. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

I am still learning that it is okay to wear your heart on your sleeve and that it is okay no to be okay. I know that it is difficult, but I am here to say that you should not be scared or worried about who you are. No one can be you. 

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Also Wears Her Heart on Her Sleeve

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.
