The Cleveland Story
Wikipedia

Cleveland is a big city in Northeast Ohio. With a population of a 390,000, Cleveland is the second largest city in the state of Ohio. Home of the Cleveland Indians, Cavaliers, and Browns as the three major sports leagues. Cleveland is a city built on hard work and team spirit.

2016 must be the year of Championships for Cleveland. From a lead of 3-1 in the NBA Finals, The Warriors lost the next three, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 4-3 win in the NBA Finals. This was the end (finally) to Cleveland's 52-year Championship drought.

The fans of Cleveland went crazy when the final buzzer sounded. The hard work of supporting these teams for years has finally paid off. Cleveland is bringing home a championship.

As the NBA Finals occurred, the MLB was starting off and with this, the start to a very successful season for the Cleveland Indians. Now, in mid-October, the Indians are in the semi-final round of the World Series. Up 2-0 against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Indians are anxiously ready to move on to the Championship series.

What is this mysterious phenomenon that is occurring in Cleveland. Some may say that the curse has been broken. But how did we break it? What special event happened to break the curse to allow Cleveland to gain a Championship?

I can answer this. It's the fans. It is the people that make up the city and the fan base and the teams. These people are the supporters and are the ones that will never stop loving a team no matter what occurs. Because of this, the Cleveland teams felt a surge of pride and support from their fans. This is what lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals and eventually the Championship. This is what is letting the Cleveland Indians do so well in the ALCS.

The Cleveland fan base has been voted best and biggest in all major sports year after year because we stick by our teams no matter what. This is what sports should be about.

Cleveland is Home.

Cleveland will always be supported.

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.

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.
