To The Ex-Meredith To My Christina, I Still Care

I can't wait to watch you grow as a person, from a distance though.

To “My Person”...

We have really grown up and apart in the last few years but if there’s something the last decade and a half has taught me it is, that growing apart is not always a bad thing.

I see your successes. I see your struggles. I need you know that I am here for you through it all. I do think of you and I do check up on you via social media. I know that is a TERRIBLE way to know what is really going on with you, but it beats the inevitable fight that can occur if I text you.

I am still figuring out who I am as a person. Maybe that isn’t such a bad thing and maybe I will never really figure it out, but I think I owe it to you to find out before I text you with my excuses. As you very well know, I don’t do so well when you get treated like less than you deserve. I’m very territorial and protective of you. That type of behavior might have been OK when we were kids, but it is definitely not OK now that we are grown up.

I have some growing up to do but I thought you should know..

I am proud of you and I do miss you. I think of you more often than I am probably willing to admit. We are just in different chapters of our lives and it is probably for the best that we just watch each other grow from a distance.

I love you either way.

SIncerly, The Christina to Your Meredith.

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.
