Stay Single Until This Moment

"Relationships should enhance your life, not make things more difficult."

Stay Single Until This Moment

There are a lot of expectations between partners that get posted all over social media, all the time. The “get you a girl/boy who can do both” memes and the hashtags (like #relationshipgoals) are compiled of unrealistic expectations and can leave current partners feeling like they don’t do enough for their significant other, for example.

Stay S I N G L E until you have your life together. A relationship should enhance your life, it shouldn’t make things in your life harder.

Stay single until you meet someone who pushes you towards your dreams.

Stay single until you meet someone you can be yourself around, completely.

Stay single until you meet the one who asks about your day and genuinely cares.

Stay single until you meet the one who splits the bills with you at dinner, or who takes turns with you on who pays.

Stay single until you meet someone who is interested in your heart.

Stay single until you meet the one who prays for you, and prays with you.

Stay single until you meet the one who waits until you get into your apartment or car before they drive off after they drop you off.

Stay single until you meet the one you can ugly cry with, and have no shame.

Stay single until you meet the one who thinks you’re beautiful when you cry, and keeps reminding you of this while they wipe away your tears.

Stay single until you meet the one you can laugh obnoxiously with, and eat fettuccine alfredo with.

Stay single until you meet the one who drives your passion and encourages you.

Stay single until you meet the one who supports you in everything you do.

Stay single until you meet the one who strives to do better in their life, because they want to take care of you.

Stay single until you meet the one who has goals and dreams of their own.

Stay single until you meet someone who will give you honest advice about the top you picked out at your favorite store.

Stay single until you meet the one who you hate to say goodbye to.

Stay single until you meet the one who will do anything to see you smile.

Stay single until you meet the who shares their heart with you (and food).

Stay single until you meet someone who proves themselves to you. Not everyone in this world is who they say they are, or genuine in the way that they may seem.

Guard your heart. Love deeply. Be vulnerable.

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.
