You never knew you could learn so much from a children's movie.

1. "The past can hurt you. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it." -Rafiki

As a child, this quote might not mean much to you. As an adult, it all makes sense. When you get older, you begin to experience things that might make you sad, mad, angry, or all of the above. There are things that happen in a lot of our lives that we try to avoid and pretend didn't exist or happen. However, this quote gives us simple and helpful advice. We may make mistakes or get hurt by others, but we have to learn from our past or it will repeat itself.

2. "You are more that what you have become. You must take your pace in the circle of life." -Mufasa

Sometimes in life, you feel like you don't have a place; like you don't belong anywhere. This quote reminds us that there will always be somewhere for you. You have a destiny. Your life has a meaning and a purpose. Finding you place and role in life may be difficult, but the fact that you are alive means that you have a place in this world and a role to fulfill.

3. Life's not fair, is it? You see, I ... well, I shall never be king. And you ... shall never see the light of another day. Adieu." -Scar


This quote brings to light the fact that there will always be people who try to tear you down and stop you from moving forward. People will be jealous of you, threatened by you, and do everything to shut you down.You cannot let people tell you what you are capable of, show them. Just because one person does not believe in you or one hundred people do not believe in you, doesn't mean that you shouldn't believe in yourself.

4. Never forget who you are. -Mufasa

With the things life throws at you, it can be easy to lose your way and venture far from your path. This quote reminds us that we need to stay true to who we are, regardless of the trials we go through or the things that change us.

5. Hakuna Matata -Timone & Pumba

This quote basically tells us to stay calm and try not to worry. It literally means no worries for the rest of your days! When going through things, try to remember that you have to go through the valley to get to the top of the mountain. Don't live your life full of worries.

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.

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.
