Yes, I'm Single And Yes, I'm Okay With That

Relationships aren't for everybody and that's okay!

Yes, I'm Single And Yes, I'm Okay With That
Molly Martinez

Too many times I've heard someone say to me:

"Why hasn't anyone snagged you yet?"

"You're too pretty to be single!"

"The right one will come along when you least expect it!"

Yes, I understand that being single is a drag but how in the world is it affecting you?

The answer to that question my friends is it's NOT!! Now don't get me wrong sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be in a relationship but then I quickly realize who I am as a person.

Now for those of you that don't know me, my parents raised me up to be a very independent woman and taught me that I don't need a man to make me happy or to depend on and let me tell you THEY ARE SO RIGHT!

Our youth is so caught up in this world where they think that the perfect person or relationship exists but guess what it doesn't. #nobodyisperfect

Literally, every time I open some form of social media, whether it be Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or even Snapchat, there is a painted picture of how a relationship should be and guess what I am not okay with that.

We want someone that will tell us that we are pretty or to text us every day but that's not what a relationship is about.

Now again for those of you that do know me, you'll know that I have NEVER been in a relationship (middle school does not count.) Granted that I might not be in one that doesn't mean that I haven't been around people that aren't.

I always hear their point of views of what a relationship is about and how you always have to communicate with each other.

Not everything is always going to be good, there are bad moments in every relationship, you just gotta work it out and talk to one another. A relationship is DEF not easy!!

Don't get me wrong I always have those moments where I text my friends telling them how lonely I am (like literally last night) but I wouldn't want to just jump into one because I am lonely. I'm at a point in my life where I'm happy with where I am at and my main focus is on me.

Everyone is different and of course, relationships aren't for everyone (like me) but it's okay to be single and just focus on yourself.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RUSH INTO ANYTHING BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT YOU TO!!!

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.
