In This Article:

Some days, smiling seems like the most difficult task of all. It can be hard, but there is always a reason to smile; and if you don't have one or can't find one, here are 10 reasons you can smile today.

1. There is good in the world

I know it can be hard to believe sometimes, but there is good in the world still and smiling is one of those things.

2. The thought of happiness

Just thinking about being happy makes me smile, try it.

3. You look better

A smile on a face, is a face you can't look away from.

4. Because why not?

5. Doggos (or cats if that's your cup of tea)

I literally have a Pinterest board for when I am feeling sad filled with doggos.

6. Mood booster

Smiling lifts your mood in a positive way, so why not do the thing that will make you feel better?

7. Smiling is contagious 

If you smile, I am sure someone else will smile. It's honestly hard not to.

8. There's an opportunity in everything

It's a great thought that there is something good and a chance in everything.

9. Someone loves you

Always, some one will love you.

10. You're alive

What better reason to smile than the fact that you're alive and getting to live another day in this beautiful world?

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.
