To The Single Girl This Valentine's Day

Jesus is my Valentine.

To the single girls this Valentine's Day,

Valentine's Day is upon us once again. With this day comes the constant reminders of your singleness. All day long there are cute couples exchanging gifts or posting pictures and you might be wishing you had a Valentine as well. You may be feeling lonely as you see what your friends are doing with their significant others as you enjoy a pint of ice cream and Netflix. This is the way that I felt on Valentine's Day in the past when I didn't have a Valentine. This year, that has changed.

This year as Valentine's Day approaches, instead of focusing on my singleness and lack of love coming from a boy, I focus on the unfailing love that I receive daily from my savior Jesus Christ. This love that comes from Christ is the only unfailing and completely perfect love out there. This love caused God to send Jesus to die for my sins and the sins of the whole world, but the story doesn't stop there. Yes, this love and mercy erased my sins and allows me to be with Jesus, but it does so much more as well.

This love is with me every day for eternity. It supports me and is there for me unconditionally. Jesus is always there to help me through anything, and he remains even when I don't love him as I should. That is truly, unconditional love. With a love like this, how could I not be content with just that? The answer to this question is that the world constantly tells a lie that in order to be happy, you must be dating someone. Don't get me wrong, having a loving and God-centered relationship is amazing and marriage is a great thing, but those things are not what bring joy and fulfillment.

True joy and fulfillment come with a relationship with Jesus Christ. Even though I have been a Christian for most of my life, this fact is something that I only recently believed. It took me going through a hard break up to realize this. It took going through that break up to understand how to lean on Christ and enjoy his love fully. Through doing this, I am fulfilled and filled with joy. The joy that comes from Christ is not something that will be fleeting and can change based on people, but it will be there my whole life.

Even if I do find someone I love and have a Valentine next year, Jesus will be my first and best love. I know that he will always bring me the most joy. No matter where life takes me, Jesus will be my forever Valentine. I pray that you will find in a relationship with Christ the love and joy that I have found in mine.

Love,

Kaylee

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.
