Diary of A Professional Sad Girl: Severance

October 21, 2016

2:08 am

You've been sending me messages. They are beautiful messages. Whenever you text me at 1am and the vibrations disrupt my sleep, I know that it's you sending me your love. I know when you ask me if I'm alone, it's just because you want to call me and see my face. You call me pretty. You call me cute nicknames. You call me yours.

It's all very flattering. But it's just not mutual. You call me to make sure hat I'm happy, but you actually make me sad. Every time you send me those messages of affection, I get sad because I wish I liked you just as much. I wish I liked you as much as you like me. I wish your messages actually meant something to me.

I hate to be the one to tell you that you deserve better than me, but who else would be better to tell you than me? I want to save you the endless hours of crying yourself to sleep. I want to save you from venting about me to your friends. I want to save you from asking yourself why couldn't I love you. I want to save you from doubting yourself. I want to save you from wondering why no one wants just because I still haven't grown as deep as feelings for you.

This hurts me too.

You might not believe me when I say this but I am hurt too. I wish we connected, we would be perfect. I wish we shared something special. I wish I could see you the same way you see me. I wish I didn't have to wish for this. I wish I could change.

You think the world would better or worse if we could change people to how we want them to be? If we could change them to love us, and only us. Wouldn't that be a sight to see? I think that would be a chaotic world.

Believe it or not, I would love to love you.

You are beautiful. You have a beautiful personality. You have a beautiful smile. You have a beautiful sense of humor. You have beautiful ways of showing your affection for me. You radiate beauty onto others.

"If I'm beautiful in so many ways, then why don't you want me", she asked.

I simply replied, "That beauty isn't meant for me".

However, I wonder if I'm just being too nice? Even if I felt any type of resentment about your pressing emotions and actions, I wouldn't call you out on it. I wouldn't want to make you feel any worse. But, now that I think about it, sometimes you annoy me. I'm only annoyed because I feel low and empty for leading you on.

This isn't who I am, and you know it. This is why we have to end. I'm sorry.

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.
