Why I Can't Stop Thinking About Someone

I think I fell in love with the way someone made me feel.

Why I Can't Stop Thinking About Someone
mystudycorner.net

For the longest time, I have been battling with myself about someone who I just cannot get out of my head. It’s almost an obsession that my mind keeps telling me is real, but I know it’s not. I want to not think about this person and I just want to forget everything about them, but everything I do or watch on tv just reminds me of all of our old conversations and I can’t help but to replay them over and over. This person made an impact on my life that is forever embedded in me. Whether most of our time spent together was positive or negative, they cannot escape the entrapment that my mind has put them in.

Is it a crush? Do I have feelings for this person or am I just infatuated with the idea of them? Hell no I don’t have feelings for them. How could I ever even think about that? I think that I just enjoy the idea of what it would be like. I picture our life together, as friends, and it’s all dandelions and roses. I miss our late night conversations, our sleepovers, and even our ridiculous fights over stupid stuff. I constantly imagine what we would be like together and when I snap out of it, I punish myself for thinking about such crazy thoughts, but should I really do that?

Maybe I am just stuck on this person because I have become dependent on them for my own self happiness. For the longest time I turned to them to find confidence in myself and to see what love I really had for improving my self-esteem. Or maybe, I am just in love with the way that they made me feel. They made me feel special. Like I was the only person in the world who they cared for. So I guess it’s not too bad to imagine having that back once again.

Have you ever fallen out of love with a friend? This sounds a little strange, but I think I fell in love with a friendship, but fell out of love with the way I was treated in return. This is the reason that I can’t quit thinking about them, I fell in love with the way they made me feel, I didn’t fall in love with them. I just feel empty and I hope to find a friendship that makes me feel this away again.

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.
