Running saves your life, it keeps you sane and makes you feel free. Only runners understand that amazing feeling after you just finished a long run. It makes you enjoy the little things in life and takes you away from life for a little while.

You're addicted to those Nike running capris and you have to have the newest running shoes.You take your Fitbit or Nike fuel band very seriously and make sure you don't fall short of your goal.

Your addicted to running. You can't go a day without thinking about it and frankly, your day just doesn't feel complete without going for one.

People think you are crazy because you love to run and are quick to ask you multiple follow up questions when you say you love running. For example, you like feeling sore?, How long do you run?, Why do you like that?, How are you able to run that long?, and many more. Running is just a part of you and it's something that always will be.

Running a marathon or half marathons are the days you live for. The excitement of the race and putting all your hard work to the test. Getting up early and picking out your favorite running outfit makes you so excited. Your finish time is important to you but as long as you cross the finish line you feel accomplished.

Running is your medicine. Rather than it making you tired of feeling run down, it wakes you up and fills your body with pure joy and energy. Whenever your having a bad day you have your run to look forward to, it makes your day fnot as bad.

The most rewarding feeling is the feeling of being sore and that may sound crazy but for a runner it's what they live for. Run your life, instead of it running you.

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.
