To The Girl Dealing With Her First Heartbreak:

I am not going to say you deserve better. I am not going to tell you that you'll find someone amazing. I am not telling you that when one person leaves another enters your life. I am not going to tell you any of this because I know this is not what you what to hear. However, I hope you come to realize this on your own sometime soon.

I want to say I'm sorry. Girl, we have all been there. Sometimes it was the guy who didn't know you existed. Other times it was the guy who knew you better than you know yourself sometimes. It hurts just the same. I really wish I could be there for you in person but, unfortunately, this letter will have to do for now.

Your first heartbreak leaves you questioning everything you every did. What did you do that made things take a turn for the worst? How could you have tried to fix things? You put all of the blame on yourself. You put yourself down for not seeing this breakup.

You didn't do anything wrong. Nothing. In fact, you did everything right. You put yourself out there. You opened your mind, your soul, and your heart up to another human being. You risked so much for the opportunity to feel appreciated and loved. You did a beautiful thing. I don't want you to forget this. I don't want you to regret this.

I want you to remember you are worth it. You are so incredibly special. You have so many people in your life who admire you. You inspire others to be as graceful, kind, intuitive, generous, and open as you are. You continue to change lives. In fact, you change your own life each and every day. You grow, you learn, you fall and fail, but you are so resilient. You stand up stronger and straighter than before.

Look, it is going to take some time. I can't tell you how long. Sometimes we get lucky and you'll be happy in a month. Other times it takes six months, a year, two years. Everyone is different. We all overcome and handle our emotions differently. The important thing is that you will overcome this. You will soon remember how special and important you are. You will appreciate and love yourself like no other. You will repair your heart and eventually you will help others repair their hearts.

You've got this. Now go enjoy a nice bowl of ice cream. You deserve it!

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Felt The Same Way

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.
