I Want To Be Friends With Violet Evergarden

Me and Violet have something in common.

I remember when Violet Evergarden was released on Netflix sometime in the Winter of 2018. Because of college, I had some trouble putting in the time to watch it. However, I managed to find time to do so. After I watched all of the episodes, I was blown away. Here are my reasons why.

In the very first episode of Violet Evergarden, Violet sees an emerald brooch. It reminds her of Gilbert Bougainvillea's eyes. Since I was born in the month of May, the emerald is known to be my birthstone. As soon as I saw this scene, it really grabbed my attention because it had some kind of relation towards me. With that, it made me want to watch more of it.

Violet fought in a war and lost her arms because of it. In this anime series, Violet is described to be a "weapon" because of her fighting capabilities. However, she wants to be more than that. It's sad how people can only see her that way, but I love how she is a warrior who fights for what is right. I personally have a soft spot for soldiers who fought for our country and knowing that she is a fighter, it really warms my heart.

AND IT GETS BETTER!

Violet is a writer! People would ask Violet to write letters to a specific someone and she would get a lot of recognition because of it!

At this point, I really want to be her friend, even though she is an anime character! She didn't write the best letters at first but as time went on, people kept asking her to write letters for them. The way she writes made me wish she would write a novel or a book of poetry. Her writing is absolutely beautiful. I even shed a few tears because of it too.

There's a question that has been on her mind for a long time. She can't seem to figure it out, but she wants to know what "I love you" is. I have an opinion about how I would define love, however as time goes by, she seems to realize that it is an emotion to her. Gilbert told her that he loves her, but she didn't seem to understand.

The scenery and music in this show are both stunning and mesmerizing. Everything about this anime expresses so much beauty and I love how it includes some of my personal interests!

This anime is filled with so much emotion, romance, drama and it has a special spot on my "favorite animes" list.

This anime deserves so much recognition and I'm hoping that there will be a season 2!

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.

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.
