True Hell On Earth

Hell on earth is very real and I wish it on no one.

True Hell On Earth

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..” ― John Milton

Everyone, religious or not, has an idea of what that "heaven" is like. This is your stereotypical beautiful scene of sun, clouds, and happiness. "Heaven" probably has angels floating around and a large gate at the front. People also seem to have a really clear idea of "Hell" as well. "Hell" is a dark cave with fire erupting from everywhere with the devil sitting on a throne with his fiery pitchfork. Generally, "Heaven" is above us and "Hell" is below us. However, I find this idea of Hell to be entirely wrong. I think "Hell" is right here on earth sometimes.

Hell is a room.

Hell is a room filled with the most beautiful things in this world.

Hell is a room filled with flowers of every kind.

Hell is a room filled with the sweetest aroma.

Hell is a room with a table covered in the most delicious food imaginable.

Hell is a room that holds the key to a beautiful new sports car.

Hell is a room that holds dazzling, brilliant gemstones and jewelry.

Hell is a room that contains our greatest, most genuine desires.

My hell is a room.

My hell is a room that holds the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever seen.

My hell is a room that holds the peace that I have been missing all my life.

My hell is a room that holds the happiness of all of my years on this earth.

My hell is a room that holds the one thing on this earth that I am sure of.

My hell is a room that holds the rock by which I can always count on.

My hell is a room without any doubts or confusion.

My hell is a room that holds something I cannot live without.

My hell is a room that I need to find.

My hell is a room with a closed door.

My hell is a room with a locked door.

My hell is a room with a door that I need to open.

My hell is a room with a door that I cannot open.

My hell is a room that I cannot get into.

My hell is a room that is now just out of reach.

My hell is a room that will always be out of reach.

My hell is now just a room with one unattainable thing.

My hell is a room with you inside.

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.
