To The Girl Who Isn’t Being Treated Right

You deserve more.

To The Girl Who Isn’t Being Treated Right

Love, or even like, in this day and age has become a joke. Everything about it. Our generation has messed up the idea of dates, chivalry, everything. Everyone expects the Nicholas Sparks love to just happen. Yeah, that’s far fetched, but being treated right is not far-fetched and should constantly be reinforced. Today people expect to just dance with any and everyone in the bars at night and to hookup whenever you need affection. Hookups aren’t relationships, and hurt people more than they help. That isn’t how it should be.

Guys and girls suffer from the fear of commitment. People these days don’t understand that relationships are a 100-100 commitment. Today, people assume that a relationship is a 95-5/75-25/50-50 type thing. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I repeat: THIS IS NOT TRUE. The day everyone understands this is the day that we can expect everything to start falling back to the way it's supposed to be.

So to the girl who is with a guy who doesn’t treat her the way she should be treated, you deserve better. You deserve better than someone who doesn’t care about how you feel and who doesn’t take care of you. You deserve someone who will drop anything to make sure you’re okay. You deserve someone who will bring you flowers, candy, soup, and medicine when you’re sick. You deserve someone who will call you when they think something is wrong in hopes of making you feel better. You deserve someone who will text you back. You deserve someone who will hold you when you cry at night just so you will feel safe. You deserve someone who gives you their undivided attention when you’re together. You deserve someone who will surprise you with random dates where neither of you know where you’re going. You deserve the type of happiness found in the cheese love movies. You deserve someone who will talk positively about you always. You deserve someone who isn’t afraid to call you his. Heck, he should WANT to call you his. He should want to tell everyone. You deserve more.

I know you have fallen for him and that you don’t want to believe that there could possibly be someone in this world who would treat you better, but you do. It’s okay for him to not be the one. Your guy is out there. I promise you he is and I’m not just saying this either. This is the hard truth. You have to let go of the people who don’t treat you like the queen you are. It’s doable. I promise.

Sincerely,

Someone who has been there

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.
