An Open Letter To The One Who I'm Finally Over

I am better off without you anyways.

Dear person who I am finally over,

How are you? Actually, I don't care. I can finally say I do not care in the slightest bit what you are up to, who you are seeing, who you went to prom with or even where you work. I wish you the best, but the truth is you could have had the best but you threw that away. I'm sure you are already aware but the best was me.

We had a lot of ups and downs, but I now can clearly see that there were far too many downs and not nearly enough ups. True, you made me feel good.. and I might have thought I was happy, but you hurt me time and time again and I didn't even see it. You hurt my friends and caused so many problems between me and the people I was closest with that I had to remove you from my life.

When you and I first went our separate ways I was miserable. I was supposed to be mad at you but for some reason the only person I was mad at was myself. I still thought you were the good guy. For a while, I felt as if I pushed you out of my life just for the sake of making other people happy, and that left me extremely sad. I didn't want to go anywhere or talk to anyone, but this was supposed to be the best few weeks of my life, so I did the only thing I could think of, and that was hide the pain.

Pain turned to hate and hate turned to sorrow but once I was done feeling sorry for myself, I started to live again. I was able to be myself. I remembered how to be myself without you, the one who became my best friend. I was better on my own and stronger without the weight of your negativity to pull me down. It felt good.

Now I have moved on, there are some things you should know. For starters, I am very happy. School is going well and I am doing everything I possibly can to be involved at my campus and getting excellent grades to top it off. I have realized that not all guys are like you. There are good guys, and there are good guys who have treated me the way I should be treated since you. I am on the path to living my dreams and I would like to thank you. Thank you for showing me exactly the kind of man I don't want to be with and thank you for showing me that I am strong and I can do it on my own.

You may have ruined some of my days, but you have far from ruined my life and I am so happy that I never have to see your ugly face ever again.


XOXO

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.
