When Being Strong Is The Only Choice You Have, Take It And Run

It's so worth it in the end.

When Being Strong Is The Only Choice You Have, Take It And Run

“You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.”

Has your heart ever told you to be strong, but your head tells you to break down? Give up?

Yeah I know, it happens more times than not…and most of the time, as sad as it is, we want to listen to our heads.

There are so many reasons why you believe you should throw in the towel, like getting your heart broken, family problems, and problems with friends. Trust me, I've been there..and it sucks. But guess what? Relationships come and go, especially when you're young. Family is there to stay forever no matter what, and if friends are your true friends…they wouldn't hurt you to begin with, so if they do, forget about them.

I know it's so much easier said than done.. but once you realize how strong you truly are, everything in life gets so much simpler.

And to realize how strong you are, God will put you through the toughest situations known..so keep your smile and stand tall, you'll get through this. Has your mom ever said to you, “there's always a little rain before a rainbow” well mine has.. and I believe that to be very true. It always gets worse before it will get better, fight through the hard times as hard as you possibly can, don't give up, and you'll always end up on top.

So stay strong, don't give up. Everyone has battles, but only the strongest make it to the end, and when you reach the end, realizing how strong you are is SO worth the fight.

Xoxo,

Hannah

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.
