Friends Can Break Your Heart Too

Even when you least expect it.

Friends Can Break Your Heart Too
Timeout

The phrase "friends can break your heart too" cuts so deep. One of the deepest heartbreaks I've ever had came from one of my best friends in the whole world. So, here is a letter to the guy I thought would be here forever, but wasn't.

"I just gave up and I'm sure you saw that," not words anyone wants to hear, especially from someone who means the world to you.

Dear old friend,

Maybe it wasn't meant to be. Maybe everything really does happen for a reason and there is some crazy, unknown factor as to why you walked out of my life. Even while I continue to believe that, it doesn't make it hurt any less and that doesn't mean I understand... because I don't.

You meant the world to me. Every time something happened in my life, good or bad, you were the first person I wanted to tell. You picked me up when I was down and even when you didn't know what to say, you always said the right thing. You knew more about me and what was going on in my life than anyone else.

I hated when we fought.. One thing i use to love about our friendship was how well we got along, so when the fighting began I would get so frustrated because that's not who we were.

I want you to know that I'm sorry. I don't know your reasoning for giving up on me, but whatever it was.. whatever pushed you over the edge... I am truly, from the bottom of my heart, sorry. I also want you to know that you shattered my heart. I thought you would be the one guy that would never do anything to hurt me because you were always the one to pick up the pieces, not the one who created them.

I thought after everything we had been through and how hard you fought for this friendship back when times got really rough, that we could get through anything. I thought we were stronger than that. I hate that I was wrong.

I hope you're doing well. I think of you often and wonder what's going on in your life. I can tell you've changed a lot since our falling out. I pray for you every day and maybe one day our paths will cross again, but until that day I wish you the best life can give because you deserve it. You are the best guy I know, don't ever sway from that.

- 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.
