An Open Letter to the Boys of My Generation

I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

An Open Letter to the Boys of My Generation

I'm not going to leave you on open for a few minutes before I respond to your snap.

I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

I'm not going to agree to Netflix and Chill.

I'm not going to build walls around my heart so that you can't come in.

I'm not going to talk to you while I have 10 other guys on the line.

I'm not going to hide you from my parents.

I'm not going to ghost you.

I'm not going to plaster you on my social media.

I'm not going to stay distant so that I can make a clean break without a broken heart.

I'm not a fan of whatever "talking" is.

I'm not going to play all those games.

I'm going to love hard. I'm going to love recklessly with a ground-breaking love. I'm not afraid of a broken heart. I know how to pick up the pieces. I want to love so hard that it could rip my heart. Because when it comes down to the end of my life, I don't want to say, "I should have loved and let myself be loved." Because when I go I want to leave this life shattered. Not one part of it untouched.

I'm going to commit to you. There is no one else. I don't have a second choice, a plan B or C or D. It's you or no one.

But you know what else I'm not going to do?

I'm not going to sit around and be your second choice.

I know my worth. I know who I am. That doesn't make me cocky. That makes me independent and secure in myself.

So, go have fun with the girls that will play your games and when you decide you want "wifey material" come back around to let me decide if you'll make the cut for husband material.

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.
