For The Person That Wished They Had a New Year's Kiss

We've never been so frustrated about meeting an 11:59 deadline.

Inner thoughts on New Year's Eve: "Move to the closest person near you at 11:59, a couple side smirks and rocks to the music. Look at me ! Yes eye contact ! The chemistry's there? Yes. So i'm good. OK ! He/She knows why I'm right here... Here goes nothing... BLAM ! -- kissed ! Good Luck all year. *does the Carlton Dance"

Hey you !

If you were wondering, the picture above was basically me on New Year's. No, not the couple, but the girl on the side holding the drinks HaHa ! Seeing almost everyone kiss around you is the face of receiving pajamas as a Christmas gift for the third year in the row:

So, you didn't get your kiss for the start of 2017 ? That's OK ! Its just superstition anyways. Growing up, New Year's was all about having fun, drinking soda, and being with family and friends. Notice, how all of these superstitions didn't mean anything until we became conscious-understanding (young) adults. Fast forward to now, If you've done research online you've seen that there are a multitude of articles that tell us that we can get good luck in love ALL YEAR LONG if we kiss when the clock strikes 12.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen for everyone. If you're reading this, then it may not have happened to YOU. I can assure you that there's no "bad luck" associated with not receiving a kiss. I've heard of many other New Year's traditions that could affect your year such as: eating 12 grapes, wearing multiple colored underwear, cooking blackeyed peas, greens, and pork. Did you do one of those or have your own?There's a good 7 times out of 10 chance that the special girl or guy that you were hoping to kiss, could very well have been kiss-less too, so there's still hope for you two !

That's just one night, but if you continue to bring your great value and qualities along with you into 2017 then you'll find happiness. Tons of things fall under happiness. Make yourself first this year, learn a new language, do more of your favorite hobby, travel, learn yourself and learn to love and give love to others.

May your new year be blessed, and filled with less stress.

Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on. - Carrie Underwood

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.

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.
