Dear Once-Best Friend, I'm Giving You Up

I miss you so much, but I've realized we're just not to be. No matter how much it hurts, I have to let you go, and move on.

Dear ex-best friend,

I miss you so much, but I've realized we're just not to be. No matter how much it hurts, I have to let you go and move on, and I found a song by Miley Cyrus to help me do just that. It's called "Giving You Up", and I thought I'd take a moment and share it with you:


I chose this song, because I feel like it fits our situation perfectly; therefore, I listen to it on a very regular basis. It's helped me move on and be happy with my life. Now that you're no longer apart of my life, I'm happier than I've ever been. It hurts to say that, but it's true.

I think about you often, and wonder what it'd be like if we were still friends. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but I have to do what's best for me. You'll still hold a very special place in my heart; forever and always. Thank you for coming into my life and making me a much stronger person.

Love, Your ex-best friend

What could you hope to achieve when I'm crying and you know why?
How do you find your reasons in my deepest, darkest night?
I keep giving you up

I remember when you were my only friend
Now I'm not sure you can feel like that again
I keep giving you up

And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

All the things that you said
Well, you seem to forget
Dance around in my head every night
And there's a battle within that I'll never win
'Cause it's me that I'm up against
It’s my heart versus common sense
Can I give you up?

And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

Strip the layers
Make me better
Help me get out clean
Show your colors
I'm slipping under
Help me through this, please

And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

Yeah, yeah
My mind's made up
Yeah, yeah
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up
Hey, yeah
I'm giving you up

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.
