Every Girl Who Has Been In A Long-Term Relationship Before Should Read This

He was "the one". He was "Mr. Right". And then he wasn't...

You were in the perfect relationship and everything in your life was going exactly how you wanted and planned for things to go. You gave your heart to a boy years ago and you never in a million years thought that you would one day ask for it back. Just because you have been dating someone for one, two, three, four, or even five years does not mean you wasted those years. Those years brought you so many life lessons and helped you grow and helped to shape you into the woman God intended you to be. God has huge plans for you. God has your Mr. Right handpicked and when you meet him, everything will make sense. You will realize why this relationship had to end. You will realize why things weren't right with this particular partner.

"I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born, says the Lord" Isaiah 66:9

Take a step back and just stop for a moment. Give yourself a minute to think about your life and what you want it to be. You and your long term partner were a package deal, but guess what..it's just you now. You get to decide who you want to be! This is YOUR time so spend it how YOU want to! You are an individual now and no longer part of a pair. As scary and lonely as that sounds, it is so freeing. Don't get me wrong, things are going to get lonely. You're going to feel alone so often, but please, I am begging you, DO NOT SEEK ATTENTION FROM ANYONE AND EVERYONE. This is your time to form life lasting friendships with people and most importantly this is your time to do things for yourself! Join that small group at church you always wanted to attend but felt like you couldn't because of him. Go to that Sam Hunt concert you never got to go to. Eat out where you want to this time. Dedicate your time to YOU.

A little word of advice though...

Don't go out and do crazy things you would never do to try and prove a point.

Be yourself. Be content being alone. Be happy as an individual. Everything is going to fall into place one day. You'll find the one you're supposed to marry and spend forever with. Don't compare your timeline to anyone else's because God has planned every single second of every single day for you.

Just because you are single does not mean you are alone.

"Never will I leave you. Never will I forsake you" Hebrews 13:5

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
