An Open Letter To My Boyfriend

Because you should never feel taken for granted.

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend

Sometimes I feel like I may take you for granted, which is definitely not fair to you. You do so much for me and I appreciate you so much.

Thank you for listening to me. Thank you for listening to my pointless rants about any and every thing, family drama, corny jokes, or just to me blabbering about whatever's on my mind. I appreciate it.

Thank you for comforting me. Thank you for holding me and wiping my tears when I'm upset with a friend, a family member, or just that torn up about a movie or TV show. Thank you for letting me not be OK in front of you and helping me feel better.

Thank you for being weird with me. You're always completely yourself around me, and I love that about you. It makes me feel comfortable enough to be myself around you. Thank you for always making me feel secure, not like I am being judged.

Thank you for binge-watching Netflix with me. "Parks and Rec," "House," "The Office," "Scandal," you name it. Thank you for watching episode after episode with me, and not judging me on the amount of Netflix I watch in a week.

Thank you for showing me that you care. Thank you for all the little things you do, like bringing me stuff by work, pulling the truck around when it's cold or raining, and cheering me up when I'm in a not-so-great mood. (And not to mention going to loud and crazy family gatherings with me!)

Thank you for being you. Thank you for doing all the things that make you yourself -- for snoring incredibly loudly, for being insanely nosy, and for genuinely caring about my well-being.

Thank you for loving me. I am so glad that you're in my life. I am so fortunate to have you by my side, supporting me through whatever comes my way.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
