In This Article:

We follow Jeremy on this journey of her trying to understand why she ended up where she is and why everyone has turned against her when all she was trying to do was keep her family intact. But Jeremy may have taken things a little too far, will she be able to convince them to see?

You Must See

(An Asylum room. JEREMY is alone.

She is sitting in front of a mirror.)

JEREMY

You are not a monster. You are not crazy. Yes, you may be a bit… a bit different, but you are just like them. Right? Just human? Someone who makes mistakes, not perfect. Isn't that what really makes a human? Their flaws… their fuck ups? If one doesn't make mistakes, then that's not a human being?

So, if that's the case, then why do they treat me like this? So, my mistake is a bit different from theirs and they think its okay to throw me in the looney bin? No, that's not fair. That's not right. I messed up I know, but was it really that serious? I was pushed.

No one ever sees what happens before, they just see the aftermath. They just see you with the knife in your hand… they just see you standing over a body. They didn't see what brought you to that point. I did what I had to do, I did what needed to be done.I did what they wouldn't!

They didn't understand you… they don't understand you. That's why they fear you. She was wrong for him and they all knew it, even he knew it. But he would never have the guts to get rid of her, she was going to ruin him. So yeah, I took matters into my own hands.

Why is that so wrong? What I did was for family, I looked out for MY family! She wasn't mom… she could never replace her and I wasn't going to let her. He was going to let her and I couldn't let that happen. She was poison to my family, she was killing us from the inside out.

We were doing fine before she came into the picture. Why did he to bring her into my family? This is his fault! Not mine! I'm in here because of his stupid mistake! She needed to be gone. I had a mission to accomplish and I did it. They tell me I'm a monster for what I did, I think I'm just someone who doesn't mind doing… what needs to be done.

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.

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.
