Things You Learn When You Are Finally Treated Well In A Relationship
LeeAnn Gorecki

I have been in some not so great relationships. I dated guys who I thought treated me well, and it turns out they really did not. A few months a go I met my current boyfriend, who treats me like a princess. He treats me ten times better then any guy every has. I am incredible lucky to have met him. Dating him has taught me a few things about realtioships. These are a few things I have learned:

You put up with a lot of shit in the past

In my past relatinships I put up with a lot of stuff that just is not okay. I would think its okay if a guy ditched me, or did not respond to my texts. I put up with a guy who said he cared about me but never wanted to see me. How does that one work? Once I started dating my current boyfriend I realized that I let some guys get away with some shitty things.

Actions speak louder then words

I can not stress this enough. If a person cares they will show it through there actions, it is more then just talk. I dated a guy who only wanted to see me a few times a week but claimed he cared about me. How does that work? If he cares, he will want to see you, so he will try.

You deserve to be treated well

Why did you ever put up with that other shit? You desever nothing but the best, so why is it okay to deal with that? Its not.

You will never put up with it ever again

After being treated well you can not just go back. You can not go from a guy who treates you like a princess to a guy who ignores you.

Even if my relationship with my current boyfriend ends I will never go back to being treated shitty. I know I deserve better, and will forever be greatful to him for these lessons.

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.

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.
