Spending A Lot Of Time With Your SO Doesn't Mean You're Clingy
Glamour.com

We all love spending time with friends, right? Right! So why is it okay to spend tons of time with your friends, but its looked down upon to do such with your SO (in this article SO will refer to significant other).

Many people assume (yeah, I said it) that those who spend a shit ton of time together only spend that time together because: 1. they don't trust each other to be apart or 2. they are too scared to spend some time alone. They never think that maybe just maybe they enjoy spending every second next to their SO and cherish it.


To those that spend a lot of time with their SO: YOU DO YOU BOO BOO. If you enjoy (mutually) spending every possible waking moment together then good for you! Because of this you will make tons and tons of memories and will eventually know every single side of each other. I applaud you for that.

If you find someone that you love more than anything, someone you want to spend every moment with and want to spend those moments with only said person, then do it! If there is no one that you want to be with more than the love of your life and if they are the love of your life then there is no one that they want to be with more than you.

SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH THOSE THAT YOU LOVE DOES NOT MAKE YOU CLINGY!!

Wow Leslie, say if for those in the back.

SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH THOSE THAT YOU LOVE DOES NOT MAKE YOU CLINGY!!!!!!!!!

"Clingy" for the longest time has been viewed as a very unwanted attribute in someone that could presumably destroy any interest given in the person. This is what you tell someone when you want to send them to Nothankyouville. I don't think anyone WANTS to be seen as clingy. However, in today's society, the word is tossed around too harshly causing many people to be incorrectly defined as clingy. If this is how you show your love, then so be it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving your SO the way you do: be true to yourself. Be yourself all the time, if you're "clingy" embrace it! Just because someone doesn't want you the same way you want them doesn't mean that everyone will agree with that and it certainly does not mean that there is something wrong with you. There are tons of people who are clingy and even more tons of those who love and will love your clinginess. Remember this: YOU ARE NOT MADE FOR EVERYONE, AND YOU ARE NOT MADE TO LOVE OR BE LOVED BY EVERYONE. You are made for those who appreciate and love you.

Be yourself. Be clingy.

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.
