These are two small poems I wrote for mental awareness day (October 10th) because I feel like we all have been down at some point in our lives. So this is to everyone who needs there head picked up cause they are looking down.

This is to you *Light* 

This is to you The "kid" that could

In a world that wouldn't,

You made it

You did it

Threw all the hard times

And rough ones too

You made it

You were doubted but you grew

When you suffered you knew

It would all be for this moment

You let your head drop

But picked it right back up

You strived, survived, and

Will fly high

So this is to you

The one who we all barely knew

You are noticed

You are loved

This one is for you

This is for you *Dark* 

You were Designated and

Dismembered

Between the real you

We knew and the one no one knew

I feel you

That's why this one is for you

So I can tell you its ok to be afraid and ok to be scared

It may be too much and feel like the world is on top of you

But this one is for you

I entice you to survive

and make it threw these ensued tough times

I ask you to fight however hard you have too

Because be assured it will be a struggle

I see the disorder of this mortal generation destroyed

This is truly a strife and a different type of fight

It will leave you battered, beaten, and bruised

But rest easy as I believe in you

I believe in YOU

To make it through these tough times

It won't happen overnight these things take time

YOU can make it

YOU will be fine......

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.
