Pete, Even If You Might Not Want To Be On Earth Today, Please Fight For Tomorrow

Nobody knows your pain, but you deserve another chance to find your peace.

Nobody knows what you're going through. We can all try to identify with it from our darkest moments, but we don't know.

You are dealing with something you thought you've figured out how to handle by now, but didn't know it could get worse.

Take a breath.

You have love in your life. That can be hard to see behind the hate people take out on you. Choose to see the love and not the hate. Hate is just words masking ignorance.

You've spoken out about your mental health in the past, and you aren't getting the respect you deserve for embracing the cards you were dealt.

We don't know your pain, but today, you told us just how bad it was.

We heard you. Don't quit.

Your name has been all over the media more than ever this year in bad ways and good. You didn't ask for that, and now you're here pushing to get through each day. Whatever is going through your head at this moment to get you to the point of this cry for help, just know that there is always tomorrow to try again.

You deserve tomorrow.

People abandon their lives every day. They get to the point where the suffering is too much and the appeal of escaping the noise becomes their idea of peace.

Don't escape the noise, please. There may not be one right answer to do that, and it will probably hurt like hell to figure it out, but you can do it. Your peace doesn't have to be escaping life.

Fight the world, fight the noise, fight your illness.

We have lost too many good souls in this world because the evil took over. Please, don't join them. Their cries for help were maybe missed or ignored and they didn't get the chance to try again.

It may not feel like it, but your peace is out there. Fight to find it.

You are overwhelmingly loved and there are so many people out there right now fighting to make sure you are and will be OK. Realize the wealth of love and support surrounding you will help you get through your struggles.

You can make it to tomorrow. Please keep living.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW ARE STRUGGLING WITH SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND/OR TENDENCIES, REACH OUT IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE SHOULD GO THROUGH THIS ALONE. SUICIDE IS SERIOUS.

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.
