Having RBF or resting bitch face is both a blessing and a curse. If we are actually mad at somebody they will get the hint, but a lot of people who don't know us will think we are just rude people. Here are a couple things people who suffer from RBF are told on a daily basis.

1. "What's wrong?"

You know, because RBF makes it seem like we're totally pissed off all the time. So something must've happened to us and upset us. Sorry, but this is just my face.

2. "Are you OK?"

It always seems that we are bothered by something, which leads people to keep asking questions. Answering "I'm fine" can result in the person asking five more times just to be sure that you are OK. Ugh. Yes, I'm fine this is just my face.


3. "You should smile more often."

Says mom, a patron at work, or the guy at the club. Smiling isn't something that we don't do, we smile a lot again this is just my normal face.

4."You look so much prettier when you smile."

Thank you for that, but again I'm not going to smile for a random reason. I'm sorry that my normal face isn't good enough for you

5. "Smile."

Are you going to take my picture, or did you just say something amusing? Because if not then I'm sorry but no.

6. "When I first met you, I was really intimidated by you but then I got to know you."

Yes, we understand that RBF makes us look like mean people, and thank you for giving us a chance and looking past our RBF because yes we are really nice when you get to know us.

7. "I thought you hated me when we first met."

Oh no, I'm so sorry, I actually thought you were really nice that's just my face.

8. "Are you tired? You look tired."

Nope, I'm actually pretty awake right now. Again, this is just was my face looks like.

9. "You know guys are afraid to approach you because you look unfriendly."

That makes me feel really great about myself, so thank you. This is just my face I can't control it. I'm sorry that I don't smile all the time. It's just the way my face is.

10. "What's wrong?"

Yes, this was listed before but it comes up so often it should be listed twice.

11. "Why do you look like this all the time?"

Because, THIS IS JUST THE WAY MY FACE IS!

AI music threatens 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.
