To The Boy I Love Next, Please Don't Think I Don't Love You

I keep my guard up because I have been hurt before.

I don't want you thinking that I'm hard to love or have a problem when it comes to dating or even falling in love. It may seem like its hard for me to fully open up and that's because it is. I'm scared that if I get to close that I will end up being hurt in the end and I find it easier to close myself off and try not to get close to you. But, when you knock down these walls just know that there is something better behind them.

When I first fall in love with you, I won't make it noticeable. I won't try and bust out of the gates full force confessing my love for you. I will give it time and then when I know that I feel this way 100%, I will tell you. I will love you with all my heart and I will never mistreat you. I will always be there and support you in all you do.

If there are fights, I will be the first to say I'm sorry because I don't want us to end up going to bed mad at each other. There is no point for that to happen. Life will get hard and there will be times that we will feel like giving up but, I will never give up because when I think that something is worth fighting for then it is something that I will fight for.

I might not be the most perfect girlfriend but, I will try my hardest to make you happy. I feel like making sure you are happy should be my number 1 thing. After we get through the whole, the wall coming down and me opening up our relationship will be amazing.

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.
