I Wear My Heart On My Sleeve, And I Would Not Want It Any Other Way

I was always told that wearing my heart on my sleeve is terrible, but now I am coming to terms that it's not.

Here's the thing about me wearing my heart on my sleeve, I mean what I say. I will look at you and tell you exactly what I'm thinking, how I'm feeling and share a lot more than I should. I trust strangers, I am willing to look vulnerable, I am willing to discuss my weaknesses. I don't know how to play games, how to manipulate others to get what I want or how to wear a different mask in public.

I am real. I will show you my scars and tell you my stories. I am not ashamed of my past or my mistakes. I want to make you feel comfortable, I want to make you feel safe knowing I'm not lying to you, I don't have ulterior motives and I'm not trying to get close to you for selfish reasons. I'm talking to you because I genuinely like you, I genuinely want to know more about you. I genuinely care.

I will hug you a little tighter, give you more than one kiss, stay for one more hour and try to keep you in my life. I'm the one who always makes time for you when you need me. I'm the one who remembers birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. I'm the ones who always remember you and who you are.

My mission is to heal and fix people. My mission is to try to rebuild what others have destroyed. And before you say, "That's not possible, you can't fix people." You may not be able to fully fix someone, but you can sure as hell try to make their life a little better.

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.
