An Open Letter To The Man I'm Falling For

To the man I am falling for,

Maybe you already know that I’m falling for you, but maybe you don’t. Regardless, I am so, so very interested in you. I want to know you. I want to learn every last detail about you. Our daily walks to the bus stop aren’t long enough.

I want to hear all of your stories.

I want to hear about that time you went fishing when you were younger, and you caught the biggest fish you’d ever seen.

I want to know how you take your tea, so I can surprise you with a steaming hot cup at one of our homework/study sessions.

I want to know what your favorite song is, so I can sing along with you when it plays on the radio.

I want to know your hopes and dreams for your future classroom, so we can daydream together about having our own classrooms and living our dreams as elementary teachers.

I want to know your passions.

I want to know what sets your soul on fire.

I want to know the reasons why you get out of bed every day.

I want to know about the past.

I want to know about her; the woman you dated for many years before we met.

I want to know what she did to break your heart, so I can promise that I would never do that. I could never intentionally break your heart.

You are too genuine and have a kind soul that deserves all of the beauty the world can offer.

I think the biggest reason as to why I’m falling for you is because, well, I trust you. I carry so much baggage, but yet I want you to know the real me. I want you to know that I would be the happiest person in the world if you ever wanted to cook dinner together (but I must warn you that I am one of the messiest eaters on this planet). I want you to know about my obsessions with Twenty One Pilots and Fall Out Boy, and how I have a tendency to scream the lyrics in the car. I want you to know that I am very awkward, loud, (somewhat) funny, and don’t always have my life together, but for some reason, it’s OK around you. You let me breathe, and allow me to be my true self.

I think the most terrifying part of it all is that I eventually want to open up to you. I want to be able to tell you the darkness I have been in. I want you to know that despite being so incredibly enchanted by you, I am still scared to commit my heart to another man. I want you to know that I’m terrified, but I want to take a chance with you. I want to let go of my fears, and dive headfirst into something that could be extremely beautiful.

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.
