Stages Of A Relationship As Told By GIFs
Giphy

While every relationship is different, experiencing different ups and downs, they all start and end the same way with some similarities in between.

1. Someone actually likes me?

Yes, I know. It is hard to believe that someone actually likes you. You have always seen it with other people, and now you are the "other people."


2. Is he gonna treat me like my ex did? Should I really open up my heart again?

I said I wasn't going to date again for a while and that I wanted some time to myself. Is the universe trying to tell me something?


3. Soooooo he is really cute and nice ... I think I like him.

Could this really be happening right now? I think I am catching the feels for him...


4. Should we go public?

I definitely like him, and I know that he really likes me. But this is kind of a big step. I mean, people do like to gossip.



5. Okay, yeah, I can do this. I really do like him.

Yes, mom, he is really nice. Yes, he treats me well. Yes, I think you would really like him.



6. Alright, who am I kidding? I'm in love.

This is the greatest feeling: I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows it!



7. And just when everything is peachy...

Roses, chocolates and all...


8. He drops the "I need space" bomb.

The worst type of relationship drop. I mean, can't he just tell me upfront that he doesn't want to be together instead of making me wait for days?


9. We all know this stage too well.

Crying and miserable, but hey, it gives us the ultimate excuse to have unlimited ice cream and sweets.



10. Your friends try and tell you that you are way better than him, but you are just not having it.

This is when you can tell who your true friends are. The ones who know how much you love him but try to cheer you up by reminding you of all the other great things in your life. They hate seeing you cry everyday and just want you to be happy again.


11. You realize you ARE better than him.

The greatest epiphany of them all. After you get out of the crying stage and start to realize all the sh*t he did to you and how much more you deserve.



12. When he comes crawling back to you.

The best feeling is when he sends you a text because he misses you. Regardless if you decide to get back together or not, always remember to forgive but never forget what he did. If he was capable of causing you that much pain once, he can most definitely do it again.

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.
