I have always had a hopeful heart, but this time I am ready. Ready for a vibrant and fulfilling love. I am ready to be swept off my feet as cheesy and corny as is sounds. Love isn't something you can force but if is to happen I know my heart will accept it with open arms.

I hope my next love is fierce and strong. I need it to challenge me and force me to go bigger and do better. I want to be with someone who helps me better myself and who I can help better.

Not in the project sense but in the we both want to grow together as people sense. Someone who understands that growth as both people and as a couple is a necessary part of a relationship.

I want my next love to be both a home and an adventure. Someone who is constantly keeping me on my toes but also the person I am the most comfortable around. But also in the sense of someone who no matter where we are is the person I look to when I think of home.

My biggest hope for my next love is that they respect my independence and in fact love me even more for it. I want someone who accepts me for who I am and loves the parts of me that make me a strong woman. I can no longer handle cowards who don't know how to love me. I'm ready for a mature relationship where two people focus on the future and how to grow together.

Love is something I struggle with because while I want to be independent, the hopeless romantic in me can't help but dream. All I can do is hope that my next love is everything I need and more. So future love if you're out there my heart is open and ready whenever you are.

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.
