To My Dear, Heartbroken Friend:

To My Dear, Heartbroken Friend:

To my dear, heartbroken friend:

Man life is a wild ride, huh? And love… love is just nuts. My heart aches for you right now. I know how hard breakups are. I know that it feels like the hurt, the chest-tightening, empty, crushing pain of heartache, will never get better. It feels like no matter how many tears you shed, it will never be enough to fulfill the sadness that follows you like your shadow. And the missing- the missing of that person comes in waves. And sometimes, you just cannot pretend to be okay, and that’s okay too.

My dear friend, I know these feelings all too well. But I also know that even though the pain is an intense fire burning inside of you, the flames will dim and you will begin to feel okay again (Sooner than you may believe). You will see that there is more to the world.. and there is more to love.. and there is more to come in this crazy life!

Take this time to be alone. Invest your time on bettering yourself. Become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Know what you want in life and don’t settle for anything less than that. You will grow so much. You will find what inspires you. Cultivate your dreams and your beliefs. And just wait, magic will happen and life will flutter before your eyes. Happiness will occur and you will see soon, my love, that you are strong and beautiful and capable of anything and everything.

I wish you could see yourself the way I see you—

You are a stunning being of pure joy and laughter and love and extravagant beauty and grace. Someday, the love of your life will walk in and sweep you off your feet. He will love every square inch of your soul. Be patient my dear, and know that even though it doesn’t feel like it right now, you will be okay again.

Love,

Yours truly.

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.
