14 Signs You Might Be A Hopeless Romantic

OK, I will just say it. My name is Melissa Curtis and I'm a hopeless romantic and it sucks...all the time. There are other girls and guys out there that know what I'm talking about. You might help your best friend get over the girl who cheated on him or you might be a wing-woman for your girl best friend when you two go out to the bars.

1. Friends come to you for relationship advice and ask how come you give such good advice yet never have been in a relationship.

It's a real mystery.

2. You are far too emotionally invested in the love lives of fictional characters.

You're borderline delusional and you couldn't care less.

3. Immediately locking eyes with an attractive person, you start overflowing with infatuation.


Must. Not. Drool.

4. Then you start to picture how cute you two would be together.

5. Your Spotify is filled with playlists of romantic songs, love songs and possible wedding songs.

6. You daydream of all the cute coupley things you'll do with your S.O. one day.


7. You *live* for cute, old couples.

8. Hearing proposal stories and seeing wedding photos warms your heart.

9. See someone attractive? Find out their name and immediately start stalking their social media posts.

10. You spend so much time in your head that you don't know how to interact with a crush.


"So, you like cheese?" Dear God, please let the ground open up and just swallow me whole.

11. You just sort of forget about like it will be like *actually* dating someone.


*panic attack*

12. You have so many ideas of what your wedding day will look like.

13. You consciously or unconsciously compare your romantic interests to fictional characters.

14. No matter the seemingly hopeless state of your romantic life, you still hold out for the one day you'll meet your "someone," "one," or "soulmate."

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.

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.
