To The Girl Who Deserves More

You deserve to experience everything and everyone you can without judgement. You deserve to be free.

To The Girl Who Deserves More

You're a strong, independent woman. You know what you want in life. But I want you to know you deserve more.

It sounds contrived to say that you deserve the moon and the stars -- which you do -- but you deserve more. You deserve the whole world, the sky and more.

You deserve to be treated like a princess; you deserve to be treated like an equal. For no reason should you ever be treated like you are less of a person because of your decisions or your flaws. You are amazing and deserve to be treated as such.

You deserve to change the world. Know that your ideas are valuable. Your ideas do matter, regardless of what people say. You deserve to have these ideas and opinions acknowledged. You deserve to know that you matter.

You deserve to love yourself. This is something I've always had trouble with. You deserve to wear what you want and feel good while doing it. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin. You deserve to feel damn good about yourself, to be confident, to be a star. Don't let anyone dull your sparkle, and if they do then they don't deserve to have you in their life. You deserve to feel empowered and not judged.

You deserve to be yourself and enjoy being yourself.

You deserve to be the strong, confident young woman you are inside on the outside.

You deserve to let the whole world know how amazing you are. You deserve for the world to know your name. You deserve to be happy. And you deserve even more than that.

It's only recently that we've been told that empowering other women and ourselves is okay. Before that, we judged each other and tore each other down based on physical features. No more. You deserve to be able to tell other woman and girls that they also deserve more. You deserve to be able to spread that message without fear of mockery or judgement.

You deserve to be among the empowered generation of women.

These next few years, you deserve to be selfish. You deserve to experience life. You deserve to travel; to see the world. You deserve to experience everything and everyone you can without judgement. You deserve to be free.

You deserve that and so much more.

So to that girl who deserves the world, the moon, the stars, know this: you deserve more -- much, much more -- and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

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.

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.
