Surround Yourself With People That Feel Like Sunshine

Your people are out there, you just have to find them.

They say you are who you surround yourself with, but I never noticed how true that was until I started spending more time with people who feel like sunshine.

Our friends have such an impact on us. From the things we say, to the clothes we wear, how we act and even what we eat. We are all so susceptible to the influences of those around us, so surround yourself with people who make you feel good.

True friendships are something so special, but they don't happen overnight. Friendships, like relationships, take time to develop so don't get discouraged if you haven't found "your people".

Though I've never had trouble making friends, I didn't feel like I truly found my people until almost a year ago.

They came into my life when I was struggling and saved me from myself without even knowing it. They're the ones I can call at all hours of the night and they're the people I want to tell everything to.

They make the bad times good and the good times great.

They showed me what being a friend really means. Their endless support gives me strength and with them behind me, I feel like there's nothing I can't do.

They are my sunshines.

The people that make you genuinely smile and laugh uncontrollably are the people you should be around!

Seek out friendships with people that make you feel like family.

Find people that call you immediately when you say you're having a bad day.

Find people that lighten your load by adding onto theirs.

Find people that listen even when they don't know what to say.

Find people that feel like home. Find people that feel like sunshine.

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.
