4 Instagram Writers You Need To Follow
Friars on Base

We all know the famous app, Instagram, as a creative space built on the foundation of the art of photography. However, it has opened its door as a platform for other works of art to be spread on social media for all to enjoy. Poetry, short stories, excerpts, and many other forms of written work have been featured on the app. These often feature themes of love, loss, and brutal honesty on the world in which we live that others are able to connect with. Combining two prominent forms of communication allows for the creation of success.There are thousands of exceptional creators out there but here, in no particular order, are four of the most successful writers on social media that I have come to know.

1. Christopher Poindexter

Being a poet, an observer, and a lover allow readers of Christopher Poindexter's to be captivated immediately. He is a child of the moon who expresses the beauty of the being human from a drunken state of mind. His love of the human race and significant other serve are the muses that inspire his writing. He is a voice for this generation through his wistful written work as well as his talent with music. Christopher also recently opened an online merch shop in which his printed works can be purchased.

2. R.M. Drake

One of the most well-known self-published writers, who found his popularity through Instagram, is known as R.M Drake. His work focuses on not only on deep love but on loss and the companionship with loneliness. His honesty and understanding of the world and human emotion is truly something to be admired. Today, his books are being sold through Amazon and his website.

3. Jay Raymond

Jay Raymond is a father, a thinker, and one of the most raw writers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. His work, like all, consists of love and heartache but also of the beauty of life and living to its entire extent. He speaks out about avoiding conformation to the standards of society and being a free spirit in all sense of the word. His unique excerpts are profound and can be purchased through his website and Amazon.

4. Beau Taplin

Taplin is consistent in the art of producing insightful snippets of his beautifully worded work. He brings the acceptance of the pain love can bear on our hearts to light as well as the importance of being unapologetic. Being able to convey ideas that other people are able to resonate with so well is a skill that Taplin is well acquainted with. His books are also available on his website.

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.

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.

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.
