And the memories I won't ever forget

To The Place I Never Thought I Would Visit

In my humble opinion, I think that everyone should travel a little bit in their life. I'm not talking like transcontinental travel necessarily. I realize that many people don't have the means or opportunity to go abroad and that's perfectly fine. I am in the same exact boat as you. When I say travel, I am also talking about experiences and finding new things. So everyone should travel a little bit in their life, overseas, across the border, across the country, across the state, or even around your hometown. Do something that you have not done before and have that experience. Take pictures and bring friends. Make it an adventure. But most importantly, make memories.You never know what you are missing if you stay in one spot for the rest of your life.

Thank you to the place I never thought I would visit. The place that was not on a list of possible vacation spots. The place that was a spur of the moment agreement. The place that I did not know I loved until I saw it with my own eyes.

Thank you for showing me what I've been missing. I now want to see what else I have not had the pleasure to see in this world. I want to explore and adventure, whether it be closer to home or further away. I want to see what else you have to offer because I could only spend so much time with you. Ultimately, I have a limited amount of time on this beautiful planet and I want to see all of it, or as much as I possibly can.

Thank you for being my home as I visited. I don't usually get homesick, but when I was visiting, I was perfectly at ease. I was at home, I was at peace.

Thank you for giving me a case of wanderlust. I might be changed by what you have taught me. My spirit for what is out there has intensified. I'm no longer content with staying where I am. I want to get out and see everything. I won't stop because if I'm not moving and changing, then I'm falling behind. I can not remain stagnant. I can not stay content with being the same.

Thank you for the memories and thank you for being hard to leave behind. You might have been the first place to spark the traveling bug inside of me, but I will definitely never forget you. The pictures I took will have a permanent place in my camera roll and Instagram account. The memories, permanently etched in my brain.

Hopefully, I will see you soon.

Thanks a bunch,

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.
