Thoughts Of A Content Creator
Kanye West

As I sat down this week in hopes to come up with an amazing, thought provoking article topic, tons of things ran through my mind. From what journalism means to why even write at all, in the end this is what I was left with, for better or worse, here are my thoughts while brainstorming, presented in a slightly more organized manner.

"What to write about?
Current events or personal experiences are always good...
Or a show! I've finished watching Between, that was a good show.
I cant believe he changed his Netflix password
Salt
What about Leslie Jones and the hate she's been receiving?
I hate her myself
Talk about your hate for Leslie Jones haha
No that's mean...
Yea..
I mean I could
Don't be that person
...Leslie Jones
What else? What else?
500 word minimum
What am I even passionate about?
Why is passion so heavily emphasized? Shouldn't I explore other topics to find passion?
It's not that deep, bruh.
What have you been doing besides procrastinating?
I do stuff
Talk about it...
umm *sings* talk about it, talk about it, gotta move on
Ok seriously
Seriously
What song is that?
*goes on Youtube*
*listens to 5 more songs*
What was I doing?
Your article?!?
I'll do it later
Now is later
I'm hungry
Write about food
Yea, Unsolved Mysteries: Caf. food
Now, that is hard hitting, real journalism right there.
Professor Morgan would be proud
Does this even count as journalism?
It can be like how do you define journalism?
That can be a topic.
A good one? Debatable...
I've done worse.
Alright, eat then write, sounds like a plan
...that I'm not going to follow through with
Tifah,
Think
Topics...
Talk about something personal, maybe a show you like

We've discussed that, no.
Revisit those old articles I never finished
Oooh or an article about articles you haven't finished--artception
I'm brilliant.
Or thoughts while writing. yea? why not?
Artception is still going to happen
Thoughts of a content creator?
Solid
That could work; fast, easy, relatable..sort of
This is happening
You are so lazy but brilliant
Genius
Yasssss
This is good."

While writing, there are so many things that I consider and deem them not good enough. Sometimes it is hard to tell and I am just stuck thinking, "this is either really good or just stupid".

I went for this one and, surprisingly, that a big part of being a creator in general, just going for it.

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.
