A Break-Up Letter To The Boy Who Already Broke Up With Me

Loving someone who doesn't love you is hard. Moving on is harder.

A Break-Up Letter To The Boy Who Already Broke Up With Me

To the boy who broke my heart,

Since our breakup, we've remained in contact, and we've been there for each other - not in despite of our past but because of it. I didn't think there was a reason to rid a person that I spent so much time loving. I love your humor. I love how childish and silly you can be. I love how independent you are. But I can't pretend that I love the way you've treated me. You've grown to be my best friend, but you and I know that'll never be all you are to me. After seeing you this past weekend, I realized I've always expected you to be more for me than what you could be. I relied and still rely on you for too much. It was easier for me to do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted, because that made me feel like you still needed me. But you don't.

Today, I told you I couldn't see you anymore. Today, I made a decision that broke me even more than I already was, and I hope you understand it wasn't because I didn't value your friendship, it was because I'm too in love with you to keep hiding that. So starting today, there will be no more "just checking up on you;" there will be no more drunk dials, and there will be no more sleeping with each other just because you're lonely. I deserve better than that. You broke my heart the day you broke up with me because honestly, since the day I met you, I thought I would never have to date someone else. But I don't hate you for that. If it's not right for one person, then it's just simply not right. I will forever love you for who you are as a person, but I can't go another day loving someone who can't reciprocate that. I hope you have the happiest of days forever and that one day you will find a love that I found in you.

Love,

The girl who waited too long

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.
