For everything wrong with the world right now, there’s at least one thing very right, and that is Lin-Manuel Miranda. In addition to being amazingly talented, he’s just an all-around good person. If the world were filled with Lins, it would be a much better place. Here are the top reasons why Lin is such a wonderful human being.

1. Hamilton


I mean, I think this one speaks for itself. That was nice of him.

2. His freestyles



Utterly genius every single time.


3. His lovely, lovely tweets

Lin's Twitter makes us laugh, think and feel like we matter.


4. His admiration for the people he works with



We all need someone in our lives who looks at us the way Lin looks at pretty much everyone.

5. He’s true to his roots



That he refers to his Twitter followers collectively as Twitterico is pretty telling, not to mention his advocacy for Puerto Rican debt relief.

6. He’s gracious toward his fans



I think Ham4Ham highlights this best. A ton of people showed up for their first lotto and he said, “I’ve gotta do something to entertain the masses.” And no matter how busy he's been, he's still made time to do just that.


7. He uses his platform for good

He just released a song and has sold t-shirts featuring fan designs of quotes from his Tonys speech to benefit the victims of the Orlando shooting.


8. He’s not your traditional theatre star, but he’s paved his own way

He's not much of a singer, but he's applied his talents in such a way that he doesn't need to be to secure his place as a massive Broadway star.

9. He can rock the pigtails



Truly majestic.

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.
