Running Out Of Time For My Dreams

Honestly wondering how I had time to write this

You always seem to write like your running out of time. - "Hamilton"

That one quote from that musical strikes a chord with me personally. I never seem like I have enough time. I'm always rushing to the north, south, east and west of the state .Doing what you may ask? Helping out with some sort of family endeavor, taking on some mission whether it be for myself or someone else! It's sad for me to say, but honestly, I seem to be extremely busy, and always on the run. yet I feel like I'm going nowhere. Just because I'm always busy doesn't mean I'm taking long strides in reaching my personal goals in life. Furthermore, I don't even have time to do the things that I enjoy these days like, for instance, making music or writing my musical. When I do have time, just like the quote from Hamilton said:"I write like I'm running out of time " I don't have time to get into the zone so to speak. I don't have time to carefully think about my music, and how to make it flow how I would like it. I don't have time to sit down and create a flow chart for the plot of my musical. Or for taking time to maximize characterization. I feel as if I'm forced to smash something together, and then before I know it I have to sprint to the next task at hand. It's so funny to me that I decided to write this week about having time, because as I type this now I'm currently in quite the rush. I am currently inside the indoor patio of taco Mac scarfing down a burger before my break ends in 3 minutes and forty two seconds! I don't even have time to process thoughts in my mind other than the stressful ones that I do have that quite literally scream "i have no time" ergo this article was bound to exist. Friends, don't end up like I am right now. If you have a passion for something make time for it. I know that sometimes we all have to put our passions on hold, but it will be regretted if you ignore it completely. Don't let everything else run your life. It's a shame because my time is fleeting I just hope I can finish this last sentence before I have to .............

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.

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.
