An Open Letter To The Girls Who Leave Their Friends When Their Friends Get A Boyfriend

More often than not, it's this way and not the other.

Dear you girls,

You probably think that I wrote the headline wrong. Well, I didn't. You probably think it should be, "An Open Letter To The Girls Who Leave Their Friends When They Get A Boyfriend" and that this should be a letter to the girl who fell in love and left her friends. Well, this one is the other way around. And, I wrote the headline correctly.

More often than not, some of us girls have had a really good friend like you. And then we get a boyfriend, and you simply get jealous and leave. You start by unfollowing us on Instagram, and deleting us off Snapchat, and then you unfriend us on Facebook. Why? Did it bother you so much to see your best friend so happy that you couldn't even be friends with us!? You just couldn't watch the Snap stories? You couldn't even see the Instagram and Facebook posts?

So, here's the thing. Us, the girls with boyfriends, still wanted to be your friend even when we had just gotten a boyfriend. We wanted to hang out with him... AND you. We wanted to still do girly things with you. We still wanted to share funny pictures with you. WE WANTED TO BE YOUR FRIEND STILL.

So, stop saying that girls who have boyfriends are awful people, who ditched all their friends. You know that you left the friendship... not us. We did nothing wrong. We fell in love and started a relationship.

If you honestly want to sit there and say, "Oh my gosh! I cannot believe (insert name here) is not friends with me because of her new boyfriend," when you are the one who ditched her... BUH BYE.

So often girls who just spend time with their boyfriend are shamed. I'm sorry but I'm sick of your attitude towards this. To me, one of the main goals in life is to fall in love with someone and start a future together. To get married. To buy a house. To get a dog or two. To raise kids together. To just do life together. Some girls want that. And if you cannot be friends with your girl because she is one step ahead of you in this, that's just straight up ridiculous.

Yeah, when a girl finds a boyfriend, she's going to spend a lot of time with him. She loves him and obviously wants to hang out with him. That's just the way it is.

But get this. We wanted to hang out with you both. The best part is that when we were just about to introduce him to you, you had already left due to whatever stupid reason you made up in your head. So, your loss. All I have to say is stop shaming the girl who got a boyfriend, and especially stop saying that she left her friends for him when you know straight up that you left her.

Sincerely,
This girl

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.
