I Am Happy Without You

There were so many people that told me I would never be happy without you in my life, it's safe to say they were wrong.

I Am Happy Without You
LIKESUCCESS

There were times when others and you yourself believed that I could not live a happy life without you. I regret to inform you...that the sun does not rise and fall with you.

I can finally say, I am happy without you.

I am happy that I no longer feel bad when I accomplish something I worked hard on to accommodate you.

I am happy that I no longer have to answer your drunken calls at three in the morning after you told me you were staying in.

I am happy that I no longer have to take your constant peer pressure to do the more stereotypical college student "things".

I am happy that I no longer have to worry about you lying to me.

I am happy that I no longer have to prove myself to you that I can accomplish what I set my mind to.

I am happy that I no longer have to deal with your drama that you seemed to always start up.

I am happy that I no longer have to let you live vicariously through me.

I am happy that I no longer have to take the continuous stream line of swear words and vulgar language toward me.

I am happy that I no longer have to change who I am to fit what you needed at that moment.

I am happy that I no longer feel guilty when I am tired and want to spend the night in.

I am happy that I no longer have to worry about you breaking your promises.

I am happy that I no longer have to prove that you are my first priority.

I am happy that I no longer have the constant feeling of jealously.

I am happy that I no longer have to do nice things for you without as little as a thank you.

I am happy that I no longer have to deal with your anger when I talk to another boy.

I am happy that I no longer have to worry about loving you more than myself.

People told me to never let you go, that I would never be happy without you and I was making a mistake not having you in my life. Well, Robert Frost puts my feelings into words.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference." -Robert Frost.

There are people in your life that are like the seasons; they come and go in your life sometimes on schedule or sometimes whenever they feel like it. This is not a season in my life that you are apart of, but maybe down the road we will find each other again in another season.

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.
