A Thank You To My Ex Best Friend
Storm Sexton

I have been so unbelievably angry. I am angry that you couldn't be the friend I thought you were. I am angry that you intentionally hurt me by dating a boy you know I cared a lot about. I am angry that despite everything we've been through I still miss you. I miss the old you, the one that cared about me, that wanted the best for me, and disliked the boys that hurt me. But now, you don't care and you are with the boy that hurt me the most. You aren't you anymore.

I've been reflecting on my anger and I decided that I have a lot to thank you for. Thank you for teaching me that not everyone has the heart that I have. Not everyone is going to give the same respect and love to me that I give to them . Thank you for teaching me that I deserve better. I deserve better friends, I deserve a man who will respect me, I deserve to be put first and to be a number one priority. Thank you for breaking my heart. I would blame it on the boy, but he and I were never like how we were. We were best friends, I trusted you with all my heart and you broke it. Thank you for teaching me how to put the pieces back together; I have cracks in my heart, but at least it's a beautiful heart with good intentions.

What I want to thank you for the most, is the insight to who I want to be. I want to be the person who you can come back to if you ever need me. I want to be the person that people trust and I want to be the person with the kind heart. I want to be the person who lives their life knowing I did everything in my power to help other's with their struggles. I want to be the person who is respected, not because I am wealthy with money or possessions, but because I am wealthy with knowledge and wisdom. I will be the best version of me because the old me has been ruined. I am stronger, more genuine, and more understanding thanks to you.

Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the lessons. Thank you for everything. I'm glad you were able to teach me these lessons of life early on. I wish the best for you, because unlike you, I still care. I still love you like a sister and I always will.

Love,

Your Ex Best Friend

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.
