You are not your raising..... we all come from a little crazy

Twenty reminders for your twenties.....

1. Go to that one college you worked so hard to get into. Do not chase the familiar.

2. Take that one job you swore you never would. I bet it ends up exactly how you never imagined.

3. You are not your raising. There is not one family on this earth that is 'normal' by any means. We all come from a little crazy.

4. That first big break up is exactly what it sounds like – a break up. Let it go and let it be. The longer you continue to tug on that string, the longer it'll take to heal. I promise you, you will survive.

5. Build a strong support system. You will need one.

6. I know you love hard but do not give your heart to every guy who tries to take it. Guard it and give it to the one who deserves it. You will know.

7. If he is married, he ain't leaving. They rarely do.

8. It's okay to cry and it's okay to be sad. Let it out and then pick yourself up. You are stronger than you think.

9. Take care of you – mentally. Mental health should come before physical. If you aren't right in the head, the rest won't matter.

10. So you gained a pound? There are far worst things and trust me, no one is watching.

11. It is okay to start over. Move to that one town you've had your heart set on. Don't let anyone hold you back.

12. Enjoy living alone – you never know when that one person will enter your life and become your forever roommate. Soak this up.

13. Pray. Pray. Pray. At the end of the day, HE is the only one that will never leave your side. He loves you. He hears you. He will guide you.

14. Always, always trust your intuition. It almost never lies.

15. Do not compare yourself to another female. God made each of us unique for a reason. You are beautiful. You are smart. You are worthy.

16. Remember, no one will ever love you like you love you.

17. Let go of the friendship that you never thought you'd lose. People change and people outgrow. Embrace what it was and move forward.

18. It's okay if your group of friends are small. You do not need 15 best friends. You'll survive with three.

19. Laugh at what life throws your way. Do not take it so seriously.

20. Most importantly, chase your dreams - wherever they may take you and whatever they may be. You have a purpose and it is your job to find out what that is. Enjoy it.

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.
