The Top Ten Benefits of Being Single

1. You never have to wear makeup when your friends are over...because your bae won't be one of them (I probably wouldn't wear makeup anyway lol)

2. You can focus on bettering yourself! But...actually commit to it first...I mean if it's the weekend, enjoy yourself, indulge on a double chocolate chip brownie sundae, and watch some rom-coms on Netflix...But when Monday hits...we mean business!

3. You no longer have to cringe when your partner accuses you of something so insignificant and you're completely innocent anyway!

4. You can spend less time on compromising and do the things that make you feel happy and at ease.

5. Or...you can work even harder to make your ex jealous by gaining inner and outer confidence. This could mean becoming more social, exercising, changing up your look, or working towards your dream job/position.


6. You can stop looking at your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife for validation...because all you need is YOU to find inner-peace!!

7. You'll have a LOT more personal space!

8. You won't be so embarrassed if you sweat a tsunami in the gym. :)

9. You don't have to keep one-upping your friends by telling them how great your relationship is.

10. You can start to show gratitude towards the multitude of blessings in your life and stop over analyzing why you aren't in a relationship. It's a distraction from your life's singular purpose and destiny! You shouldn't even be in a serious relationship until you really feel like you can take on the world as a strong independent person! The truth is, when you are no longer single, it should be because the right one found you.



All my love,

Elle <3

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.
