An Apology Letter to My Future Love-Interest
wallup.net

I’m sorry. I am so sorry.

I’m sorry that I’m extremely awkward and that I lack self-confidence. I’m sorry I never text you first because I’m too afraid to annoy you. I’m sorry that I don’t know a lot about being in a relationship. I’m sorry for my jealousy and my stupidity. I’m sorry that I’m not interesting. I’m sorry that I rarely ever talk around your friends. I’m sorry for all the struggles I put you through and all the guessing I make you do. I’m sorry that I’m not emotionally available and that I spend a lot of my time alone. I’m sorry that my expectations are so impossibly high. But most of all, I’m sorry that I’m afraid to love and that it will hurt you when you realize it.

Just know I’m broken. That I used to let myself fall so easily. Just know that I stay awake every night and just think. I think about you; about us. I think about the moon and the stars and all of the universe. I think and think, and sometimes, I think myself into fear. I think about what would happen if you didn’t feel the way I do. I think about how many times I’ve been hurt and scare myself away from the thought of loving you. Just give me time. Even when I push you away and don’t text you back, fight for me. You need to know that I do really love you and that I’m waiting for you to fight for me. I’m waiting for you to break down my walls that I’ve built.

I’m sorry for a lot of things and I know it’s a lot of baggage to carry, but trust me, if you survive it all, I will love you to the end. I will walk through Hell for you. I promise.

I may be sorry for a lot of things, but you should know that I’m not sorry for my music taste. I’m not sorry for how much makeup I wear or how many times I wear the same pair of Vans. I’m not sorry for the books I read or the way I get emotionally invested into a book, movie, or show. I’m not sorry for the way I laugh or the amount of coffee and tea I drink. I’m not sorry for my friends or family, especially my mom’s side of the family. I’m not sorry for my messy organization or the love I have for my best friends. I’m not sorry for anything that makes me happy. I’m not sorry for my dreams and the way I sing loudly. And I’m definitely not sorry for my faith and my decisions I make for my body.

P.S. I may be a tad bit crazy, but you’re lucky to have me!

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.
