No, I Don't Post About My Boyfriend Online, But That Doesn't Mean I Don't Love Him

I choose not to make my personal life public.

Some girls feel the need to post about their relationships from the second they get into one to show the world they are in a relationship and are actually capable of having a boyfriend. If that is you then you do you girl, but that is not my cup of tea and here is why.

I personally think you do not need to know every detail of my life. The world does not need to know every single piece of my life down to the smallest detail. I share what I want to share and I keep private what I do not. If I do not want to post about my boyfriend, that doesn't mean I do not love him, I just choose to keep our relationship between us.

My relationship is mine, not yours or anyone else's, it is between me and my boyfriend.

You have no business in knowing the details of my relationship, so please do not ask, because I will likely not tell you everything anyway. You are just wasting both of our time. My personal life is just that: personal.

I have nothing to prove to you and I do not need to prove anything to the world either. My life is mine to live, so let me do what I want and please do not judge me for the way I choose to handle my relationship. I do not need to prove to the world that I am capable of being in a relationship.

Whether I choose to post about my relationship or not does not determine how much I love and care for him. A post on social media does not determine someone's worth and will not change the status of a relationship.

If I want you to know I am in a relationship, I will tell you. Trust me, you will know if I am in a relationship and I want you to know. Being in a relationship is nothing to be ashamed of, and you should want to show off your significant other, but you can do that in many different ways. Just by simply being with them in public is a way of showing off your significant other.

You do not always have to post a picture on Instagram or Facebook with your relationship status.

Posting about someone does not determine their worth in my life. My personal life is personal and relationships are between me and that other person. It's my relationship and I don't need other people telling me how to live my life and pursue my relationships.

Post all you want about yours but let me do what I want with mine.

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.
