Dear Boyfriend, Thank You For Loving Me, Even Though I Drive You Insane Sometimes

I know I drive you crazy.

Dear Boyfriend, Thank You For Loving Me, Even Though I Drive You Insane Sometimes
Madison Zegarlowicz

Listen, buddy.

I know I drive you crazy. Like, absolutely, positively, "Why am I with this woman?" crazy.

To name just a few of the qualities that get on your last nerve, probably: I skip the gym, I am easily distracted, and I ask at least once a day if we can get a dog even though we already have one.

So, sorry for those. I just a) am very tired after work and therefore don't want to work out and b) am very distracted especially when I see a cute puppy that I instantly ask you about.

Living together has been one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. It has allowed us to learn about each other in ways that I never thought possible. It was necessary for us to move forward, though, so I'm glad I took the step. (Even though I know you're probably annoyed over how much I complain about our house.)

Despite all those things, among others, that drive you up a freakin' wall, you stay with me and love me all the same. You chalk things up to the fact that those are the things that make me who I am.

You've decided to love me, regardless.

There are days where I hate everything about who I am. The things that make me imperfect are painfully apparent on those days and you and I both know I get emotional. Thank you for dealing with those moments and welcoming me with open arms when they do. It means the world to me that you are there to listen as I process what's going on inside my head.

Thank you for being the logical one on the days where I think with my heart. Thank you for bringing me down to earth when I start planning our wedding on Etsy. (15 years to go, remember?)

Thank you for going through it all with a smile after I told you we were getting pictures done even though you hate them. I love looking back at those, even though it makes you cringe every time. You did it for me, and I love you for it.

I know I am a handful. I'm not writing this to broadcast that fact, as it isn't something I'm proud of.

It is just who I am, and you handle it with grace.

Sorry in advance when I ask for another dog.

Love always,

Your Girlfriend

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.
