Pickin' Up Some Good Vibrations

From me to you.

Dear Humans,

Trump sucks, but so does all of this negative energy in America.

I don't know how much more sad news I can bear and I'm sure you couldn't agree more.

And I'm not referring to the presidential election, no, I'm referring to the after-effect: the hatred that has been set in motion and that fills every one of my social media feeds. The fear that it has caused and what that fear is pushing people to do is frightening. I don't wish to share entirely my personal opinion on the current American president, but I do wish for people...at least Americans, and those who reside in America, to simply wait and see how everything unfolds.

For now, I'm just happy to be able to take some negativity away and share some positive vibes from this week with you.

Happier Times #1: The NYPD discovered at a crash site a vehicle that was transporting 104 puppies to sell illegally, ALL WHICH WERE RESCUED!

Happier Times #2: Airbnb is providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the United States.

Happier Times #3: The world average life expectancy has increased by 6 years since 1990.

Happier Times #4: Boston Federal Court puts hold on Trump's travel, refugee ban - which brings us to more good news: THE PEOPLE ARE BEING HEARD!

Happier Times #5: Each and every day, there are superior humans looking for cures, for alternatives to better our life on earth, they're even searching for a new planet that could save future generations - people who don't even concern them.

How do we not continue to spread that around the internet? I couldn't tell you how difficult it was to run into, merely four, real, positive articles. Looks like the all the happier news gets lost in a pile, lying on all of the money-hungry-hippos' desks.

Best of Luck,

Valeria


P.S. Spread some love and exchange a few hugs and kisses this year because the world is seriously lacking those good vibrations.

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.
