I Hate That I Love You

Loving you is one of the most painful things and I hate it.

I hate that I love you.

Things would be much simpler if I didn't.

I would be able to focus more, keep my attention on myself and my success.

But everywhere I go, you're there, waiting around a corner ready to torture my heart and brain. I find myself thinking about you every day at random times. Everything reminds me of you, I want to tell you all about it. But you don't need to hear it.

One of the reasons I love you is because I rarely need to say what I'm thinking because you think the same things. Something happens and we both think of the same response or explanation. They always say opposites attract but we are the same, so what does that mean?

Any and all time away from you is painful but it just makes me happier when I finally see you. Maybe if I spend long enough away from you I'll be able to get over you, I'll be able to refocus on me. I don't want that to happen but it really is for the best.

It would be easier if you didn't play mind games; if you weren't hot then cold. I love that about you but I also hate it. Your personality is so unique, how can you not stand out to everyone. Why do you stand out so much to me?

You're one of the most important people in my life but I'm just another friend to you. Or is that just another one of your mind games? I may never know.

I don't understand it and maybe I never will but I hope something changes soon because right now?

I hate that I love you.

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.
