Dear You

Broken Yet Mended

Dear You,

There comes a time in our lives when we find ourselves so broken that we begin to believe that no one could ever repair us. We all will go through one situation or another that will change our lives forever. We may all find ourselves at a point trying to understand how we made it to this place of brokenness and how we will make it out.

Here is the thing. As we find ourselves in the place of brokenness there is quite a few things we could do. We could sulk and believe that nothing will ever get better, we could believe things can get better and then do nothing to rebuild or put the broken piece back together again, or we could do everything we can possibly do to rebuild our lives and glue our broken piece back together again.

Sulking will nine times out of ten get you nowhere. Why sit around and feel sorry for yourself instead of trying to find a way to make yourself feel better? Get up and find a way to rebuild, unless you just want to be broken for the rest of your life.

Believe that there is a way to rebuild yourself. However, faith without works is dead so if you believe that things will get better but you do not make the moves to piece together the broken pieces of your life how will anything change?

Rebuild your life! It is not going to be easy but nothing worth having is ever easy to get. Work for it, believe in yourself, and watch your broken places be restored.

Many may remember the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty, where he sat on a wall and fell off and nobody could put him back together again. When I think about Humpty Dumpty and how he fell off the wall I now find myself at the age of 22 trying to understand how Humpty got on top of the wall to begin with, and why he believed that sitting up there was even a good idea. Then I realize how similar we are to Humpty. We get ourselves into these situations that fail and then when we end up broken we expect help to be put back together. So when you find yourself in certain situations please ask yourself if you want to be like Humpty Dumpty or if you want to maintain your wholeness.

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.
