To The Boy Who Broke My Heart: Thank You
everydayhealth.com

Dear_______ ,

It took me a very long time to come to terms with the fact that we were over. I spent hours and hours each day crying over you. Silent tears progressively turned into loud sobs and screams into my pillow. I would spend hours at night thinking about you and us and wondering what went wrong. I didn't think that I would ever get over you. You were the first boy that I really deeply loved and you became a huge part of my life.

I never thought that you would hurt me the way that you did. I shared all my insecurities with you and you did the same with me. We talked about our hopes and fears and dreams for the future. I trusted you, believing that you'd never do me wrong. That was my first mistake, I never should've trusted you.

You took advantage of the love that I had for you. After everything that I did for you and all the time we spent together, you betrayed me. You chose another girl over me and you thought that I would forgive you because of how much I loved you. And, at the time you were right. I was so blinded by the feelings I had for you that I forgave you... How stupid of me?

You made me feel like I wasn't good enough. I started thinking that what you did was my fault. I began to doubt my self-worth. You broke me, and for what? So you could go do what you wanted? To seem cool? There is no good answer for that question because no one deserves to go through what you put me through.

I wish that I could hate you but for some reason, I can't. I just hope that you treat the next girl who gives you her heart, how she deserves to be treated. Don't destroy her self-confidence like you did mine. You taught me so many valuable lessons by hurting me the way that you did and for that I am forever grateful.

So, I want to thank you.

Thank you for allowing me to experience a great love. Thank you for all of the memories and the good times that we had. Thank you for breaking my heart. Thank you for showing me that I deserve so much more. Thank you for showing me just how strong I can be. Thank you for teaching me what kind of relationship I don't want to be in. Most importantly, thank you for letting me find all of the good qualities that I have and allowing me to realize that I am good enough.

Sincerely,

The girl whose heart was once broken by you.

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.
