Stop Spending All Of Your TIme Together

Getting away from your significant other is healthy

When you're in a relationship, spending time together is great! But too much time together can cause tension...fast. Of course everyone loves being with their boyfriend/girlfriend, but if you do not spend time apart it can hurt your relationship in the long run.

1. Appreciation

When you spend 24/7 with someone, it is so easy to take them for granted. Giving each other time to go do things without you allows you both to value the time you do spend together more.

2. Stress

Being together all of the time causes people to get sick of each other. I know, no one thinks they will get sick of their best friend but let's face it, after a while, being alone is nice.

3. Spend time with other people

Everyone loves to spend time with their friends! Not every friend though enjoys being the third wheel, which unfortunately can happen when you and your significant other are attached at the hip. Having girl time or guy time gives you time to miss your significant other and allows you to spend quality time with the people who were there before you were in a relationship.

4. Enjoy things you like to do!

Personally, I love going into nature and taking pictures. My fiancé however, not so much. I stop too much to take a million photos. By being alone, I can do the things I enjoy doing and he can do his thing, which most of the time is Xbox. Nevertheless, we are a stronger couple because we do not always drag each other to things the other person is not fond of.

Everyone loves to see their best friend everyday! That doesn't mean you need to spend every waking minute together though, giving each other space allows you to be a stronger couple.

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.
