From The Girl Who Has Never Had A Boyfriend

You are not alone, girl.

From The Girl Who Has Never Had A Boyfriend
farhadghaderi.com

Yes, I am 19-years-old, and I have never had a boyfriend. And I am not talking about those elementary school boyfriends that lasted a week. I am talking about a real boyfriend. Shocking, right? I have never had a Valentine. I have never been on a date. I have never shared a New Year's kiss with anyone. I have never held a boy's hand in a movie theater. I have never taken a cute couple Instagram picture. Nothing. Nada.

I know what you are thinking: "Wow, that's really sad," or "Yikes, she must be lonely," but I am actually okay with this. I am okay because I know my time will come. One day I will get all of these things I have waited 19 years for. One day God is going to bring that special person in my life. Yes, I have never had a boyfriend, but I have actually been in a relationship; incomparable to any relationship I will ever have, and that is my relationship with Jesus. When I feel alone, He is always there to talk to me. When I feel like everyone around me is in a happy relationship and I am not, I remember the joy I have in my life because of Jesus Christ.

I am not going to say that going 19 years without a boyfriend has been the easiest thing. There have been times when I feel like my life will be like this forever. I have felt sad when I am stuck at home and all my friends are going on dates with their boyfriends/girlfriends. I have said the phrase "forever alone" more than once in my life. But with all this, I have learned one thing-- patience. I have prayed and prayed and prayed for God to send me someone, but he quietly answers "just wait." He has a plan. Actually, he has the most beautiful plan I could ever imagine for me.

So, if you are that girl like me that has never had a boyfriend, you are not alone. I am right there with you, girl. Don't give up hope. God has a great plan for you that He can't wait to show you in His time.

"18 Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, 'I’ll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.' 19 Laban said, 'It’s better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me.' 20 So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." (Genesis 29:18-20)

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.
