An open letter to my Ex- Best Friend

You meant everything to me, but now I want nothing to do with you.

An open letter to my Ex- Best Friend

To my Ex- Best friend,

We used to do everything together. I was there for you and you were there for me. You were my absolute favorite person on the planet and I trusted you with everything I had. And that's not an easy thing for me to do. I loved you, but after everything that you have put me through, that love turned to loath. I blame you for all my negative thoughts and emotions. You are the reason I am sometimes crippled with anxiety or sadness. What you have done to me is unforgivable. How do you wake up one day and decide that you don't want to be best friends with the person that you've grown with for as long as we did? How do you just blame someone for the ending of the friendship because they were "toxic"? And I'm sorry that you thought that I was the toxic one, because in reality you were. You still are.

Even though you are no longer in my life and I don't want you anywhere near my life, you still linger. Not in person, but in my thoughts. Every day I think about everything you took away from me. You took my happiness, my self-love, my sanity and the biggest one, all the rest of my closest friends. You leaving me, it hurt, but I could get over that. But you getting everybody else to choose your side, surreal. I couldn't believe that you could be that evil to ruin my life that easily and with no regret. I was broken, but now I'm learning how to put the pieces back together with the help of people that actually support me, unlike you did in the end. I don't need you in my life and I don't want you in my life.

I think I could speak for anybody when I say that I don't want, or need, someone to stay in my life if they've ever hurt me the way that you have. Now because of you I have to learn how to pull myself out of the hole you dug for me. I have to learn how to re-accept myself in other people's eyes. I have to learn how to trust that people won't leave me like you did, or blindside me like you did. Even though I'm the one going through hell, I actually feel bad for you. I feel bad that you decided to push away an important person in your life and I'm sorry that you won't be able to grow from this situation like I get to. And all in this process of rebuilding myself and growing, I'm glad that I can be able to rid myself of you and the demons that you put on me.

Loathingly,

Your Ex- Best friend

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.
