You Deserve Better, Never Forget That!

First and foremost, no, this article will not be a heart-wrenching lecture on how not to settle in a relationship. In fact, it is an article that is a gentle reminder that you are so important and worthy of everything good and just in this world. Therefore, never be anyone's second choice. Never be anyone's last resort. You deserve better even if you do not know what better is at this point.

Now, talking only to that person who settles in relationships; do not worry you're not alone! I have also been guilty of settling in many times in my life. Here are some of the things that I have learned from my experiences.

Firstly, if you live from the abundant place in which you are loved you won't have to find yourself begging others for their scraps of love! Powerful, right? We don't have to beg others for love because our heavenly Father gives it freely.

Our minds and souls are inspiring and loving. Our personalities are nothing but extraordinary. So why do we settle? Why do we allow people to put this hold on our hearts that makes ache inside?

It is because deep down we know that these people aren't meant for us, but it is easier to hold on than to deal with the pain of walking away. We have to learn how to step back, realize we are not loved from the person in which we seek love, and finally just walk away!

It is a beautiful experience when we can come to terms with the fact that we are already so loved; so loved that He chose to lay down His life for our sins. The world has done a great job of trying to brainwash us into settling for things we do not deserve mainly by social media. The likes, comments, and messages lead us to believe that we have to settle in life. Nonetheless, don't flirt with the world. Your soul is at stake!!

Today, let's make a promise to stop being afraid of living our lives without certain people. Let's stop settling for things we know we don't desire because at the end of the day, the one true person who we really need promises from will never leave!

We deserve so much better and I hope oyu will always remember that!

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.
