With Love, From My Personal Experience

Never forget who you are and where you came from.

To: the girl that is starting to fall in love.

First, allow yourself to fall, and fall hard. Fall in love with everything he is, and everything he wants to be. Fall in love with his stubborn side, and his goofy, big-hearted side. Do not ever be afraid to tell him how he means the world to you, and don't ever take this love for granted. Because trust me, it could all be gone in the blink of an eye.

Do not ever doubt yourself, but also do not ignore your gut instinct. Love is powerful, but don't let it change who you are or what you believe in. You are strong and intelligent and you can want him, but you most certainly do not need him. If love is what scares you, then I dare you to fall so deep in love that you feel those butterflies in your stomach that those cliche books talk about. (It happens, believe me!)

The person you don't need is the guy who can change his mind at any given minute. You deserve consistency. Not someone who decides they need a break and drags your heart along in the dirt only to want you back and break your heart again and again. You do not need a bad influence. You need someone who knows the difference between right and wrong and who can admit the mistakes they've made, and someone who wants to strive to be the best possible version of themselves.

Love is scary and it never fails to show you a side of yourself that you never knew existed, but let that side of you be the best it possibly can be. Be happy. Always, no matter the circumstances, be happy. You have to create your own happiness, and you can't depend on someone else to do that for you. Be with someone who brings the best out in you, encourages you to make good decisions, brings light into your life, and someone who loves you for everything that you are and everything that you want to be.

Last, but not least, you can not expect someone else to love you if you don't love yourself. So love yourself! Embrace who you are, and never forget where you came from.

Sincerely,

My Personal Experience

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
