To The Girl Who Feels Stuck

You never know who will be just around the corner.

To The Girl Who Feels Stuck

Dear the Girl Who Feels Stuck,

You are worthy of a natural, healthy relationship. Think about it. Really think about it. He might be what you want, but is he what you deserve? The right guy will be willing to cross an entire ocean for you to make you happy. Maybe not literally, but still. Don't settle. You will be so unhappy in the end.

We've all been there, myself included. The pointless arguments. The pettiness. The untrustworthy thoughts. And that's not to say that he is all to blame here. We all make our fair share of mistakes. But if you stop and think, you'll realize that it could be so much easier. My mom once told me that when you're with the man you're supposed to be with, it will be so natural that you'll never have any doubts in your mind. Give yourself that chance to love like that, and to let that man love you. You never know who will be just around the corner.

I know that everything I'm saying is a giant leap of faith. But who doesn't want to jump every once in a while? After all, God will bless you and keep you headed in the right direction. He's made a man (or woman) that will be your exact partner. The love of your life. You need only trust Him.

Love is such a powerful thing to waste on the wrong person. 1st Corinthians 13:4-7 states, "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Find a partner that will not settle for less. Stand up for yourself. Love yourself. Find a way to live up to those important words. Never settle for a man who wouldn't give even a city for you, when you're handing him your entire world.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Broke Free

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.
