Words speak.

6-Word Stories
Twitter

In order to write articles, you need words. Words are the starting point for any piece of writing. If we didn't have words, we couldn't create stories.

I have always had such an infatuation with words and their meanings. Words are very powerful and affect us every day. Without them, we wouldn't be able to communicate. When we are little we are taught words and phrases that describe and give life to the things around us.

I have taken an interest in six-word stories which are stories that have become super popular on sites such as on Twitter and Tumblr. They are stories that are written with only six words and the goal is to make you think. Here are some that I've written:

Six Word Stories:

  • Hate how much I miss you.
  • I want my best friend back.
  • Why don't you care about me?
  • So lonely and I need you.
  • Why are you so far away?
  • You left without a single word.
  • I just want you back, please.
  • You make me smile like crazy.
  • You do not mean a thing.
  • I am doing fine without you.
  • Love is just caring and understanding.
  • Make me believe in love again.
  • You shine brighter than the moon.
  • It all started with a kiss.
  • Take my hand and let's run.
  • I left your roses to die.
  • Black tears stained your shirt sleeve.
  • It is alright to cry sometimes.
  • I love someone who loathes me.
  • Labels do not define your worth.
  • Never give up on your dreams.

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.

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.
