Pebbles.

We are but pebbles tossed into an everlasting ocean, all wishing and hoping to make a eternal ripple on the surface before we slowly and deridingly sink to a unfamiliar, unforgiving and un-endless ocean floor to forever be forgotten and lost in its cold depths. We all hope to lead a meaningful life full of experiences and dreams and make improvements and impacts on the ones we love and the places we exist. All hoping that one day or another we will not be forgotten yet remembered for the life we lived and not the one we hoped and dreamed of. Lead a life of today but also dream of a life tomorrow. Lead a life of dreams as in make your dreams today don't wait for the future to make an impact reach out and make that future your own.-CRR

Love.

Few have felt the burn of true loves flame and those whom have are forever scarred. The few that have, still yearn for its fiery embrace yet still fearful and weary of its harmful scorches. Those whom have not until now felt loves fiery clutch longingly await its sting yet when touched will forever be changed by its undeniable affect it brings upon a lonesome and weary soul. Do not be trepidatious of loves burning flame for it is what brings the light into a mortals world. It is what has guided man safely into this dark and cruel world and without it we will surely lose our way into the shadows and wickedness and forget all reverence we have for what is good and kind and righteous in this realm.-CRR

My Head.

My head. My head.

forever churning. Cranking out words upon words filling pages with sorrows,pains, griefs. Yet as one would flip a switch.

My head. My head.

Goes from the sorrows of life to the jubilee and joys of life singing from the tops of my head to the bottoms of my feet screaming for the whole world to hear life is a gift! A great gift! Yet once more as easily switched the first my soul dives into the sorrows of life the loss the suffering. What is life without journey? All journeys have mountains one must pass surely these mountains we experience in life, the highs and lows are what makes life interesting we envelop ourselves in the awe of the highs of life and perhaps that is what gets us through the lows. The remembrance of the highs push us to seek the next mountain top. The journey is not about the destination for we all will end up in the same place. Its the journey itself and how we ourselves take this journey that decides what we shall become in the end.-CRR

AI music threatens creativity

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.
