An Open Letter To The Boy Of My Dreams, Found At The Wrong Time

If only destiny had brought us together at a different time.

An open letter to the boy of my dreams found at the wrong time:

Our situation is not easily understood.

What I don’t know is why destiny blessed you into my life during a time that cannot work out. I mean, college is temporary, right? And, of course, the other circumstances that keep us from the light. Trust me, if it weren’t for them, I can promise you I would shout from the highest mountain just how much you mean to me. I will never understand why you couldn’t have come along a few years from now…free from the chains that bind us.

Did destiny bring you to me just as a lesson? To show me that there are men out there that have the ability to love me the way I deserve? Maybe your purpose was for self-reflection; to recognize my own worth. I really do not know and, frankly, these questions may remain unanswered forever.

On the other hand, what I do know is that you will remain unforgettable, no matter where life takes us. I can always remember your unconditional kindness and caring nature. I can always remember your touch and the butterflies that fill my stomach anytime you are near. I can always smile upon the memories we have had. I will always be able to relate you to something positive. I know you are what I’ve always dreamed of and what I will continue to dream about.

I know that my feelings for you are unusual; I’ve never felt this way before. Before you, I was quick to become possessive of things I loved (I guess you could say I didn’t learn the "sharing" rule in Preschool). But with you, it’s totally different. A famous quote by Osho best describes my newfound reaction. “If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up, it dies and ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.” I do not need to possess you to be satisfied with you. I can honestly say I want the absolute best for you. I want you to follow your dreams and reach your maximum potential. I want you to find the girl of your dreams, even if that girl is not me and I do not expect it to be.

So wherever life takes us, through all of its uncertainties, I can only be thankful to have gotten a taste of your love and affection. I can only hope that we can meet once again, at a time that our lives permit something more.

Love,

The girl who had a taste of heaven

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.
