An Open Letter To A Boy Who Didn’t Love Me Back
http://cassiespath2.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Dear Old Flame,

I’ll never forget the night that changed my heart forever. It was a Saturday night in September that my heart broke harder than ever before. Its pieces on the ground had sharper edges, I bled a little longer and I cried a little more than I ever did in the past. It was the night that my mouth spoke three words. Three words that I felt would connect us more were the same three words that separated us forever two days later. I am writing this tonight to let you know that it is okay you didn’t love me back. Of course it took me until now to do it because it hurt me for a while. It never hurt because the love I gave wasn’t returned, it hurt because you dragged me around knowing I was falling deeper with every moment and you didn’t tell me that while I was falling in, you were fading out. You stayed with me knowing I wasn’t the one. Every time I looked into your eyes and gave you the option to leave, you looked right back and said that I meant everything to you and kissed me like you wanted to prove those words. Never have I felt such convincing lips on mine. I, like many, never caught the signs or tasted the truth on those beautifully convincing lips.

You always told me you were so afraid of the future and worried that I would up and go one day out of nowhere like your past lover did. Gotta love the irony because you’re no longer around. I tiered my tongue and wore out my heart trying so hard to let you know I would be here and that though the future was unknown, I would do my best to always make us work because I meant those three words that Saturday night. It took me awhile to figure it out but, I learned that it was never about the future or me leaving, you just didn’t love me. It was you who wanted to take a bow. You wanted everything a girlfriend provided without the strings attached. As time went on, you knew my heart was beating harder for you and you wanted a way out of my life because you knew yours wasn’t beating as hard for me. The same strings you didn’t want somehow strung me along until my three words led you out the driveway never to return. I could keep going on this but I don’t want to because honestly, it is what it is. I just hope you find someone that you can love the way I loved you.

Sincerely,

A Changed Heart

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.
