"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight" should always resonate in your hearts and minds whenever you are going through a rough patch. A simple smile can release all your negative psychological emotions and transform them into positive emotions. I strongly believe that when you smile, most of your stress neurons disappear leaving you more subdued towards the positive prospects of life. Life is short and I sincerely urge everyone to spend more time smiling and enjoying the precious moments with loved ones. You never know how much your smile can mean to others around you.

I'm blessed to be able to experience this immaculate feeling whenever I'm volunteering at my local hospital. Whenever I walk in to interact and check in with patients, I always enter with a bright smile on my face in the hopes of cheering them up. Most of the patients who I'm able to see are the elderly who are suffering from various debilitating diseases or are on their road to recovery. It is truly a special and remarkable feeling to observe the glow on their faces when I speak to them with a huge smile on my face. Their smile in response to mine brightens up my day in a mind-blowing way!

Furthermore, your smile is precious and priceless. There shouldn't be any price or strings attached to it. Smiling has been proven to be a universal form of communication globally because it views everyone as equals without any type of discrimination. In other words, a smile brings two nations together just like love brings two hearts together. The intensity of your smile will bewilder people around you and make them want to smile too.

Another reason everyone should always encourage others to smile is that it can release any type of internalized tension that they are trying to lock inside their hearts. Any type of stress, anxiety, or emotional conflicts should not be suppressed inside you. In fact, you should strive to conquer your failures, hardships, and emotional turmoil with a breathtakingly expressive smile! Keep in mind, smiling can be viewed as a coping mechanism as well as a therapeutic route to recovery.

No matter how many difficulties you have, never let it get to you and always keep on smiling!

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.
