To The Boy Who Said He Would Never Do That

To the boy who said he would never do something like that to me... you did it.

I sit here broken as I saw you through a screen tell me "you can't do this anymore" did you try.. no. I sit here questioning what I did wrong as I scan through the times you told me "I would never hurt you" and here I am.. hurt.. wondering. how can someone lie to you like that? how can someone tell you not to worry about being hurt and then they do it to you? I put my guard up to you but you told me not to worry so I let it down and here I am, hurt and confused. I told you I don't say "I love you" easily because every person I have said that to left. I sat there and said that to you and told you I loved you and you told me not to worry. I sit here now regretting that. I sit here wondering if you feel any pain. If you feel lost without hearing from me. If you feel like a part of you left. I sit here and wonder how you're doing as I pretend like I'm doing fine.

Don't tell me you weren't going to hurt me when you did. Don't tell me you wouldn't be like everyone else when that's exactly what you are. Don't tell me you'll always love me when people don't treat the ones they love like the don't matter anymore. Don't tell me you tried when things got tough and you gave up. Don't pretend like you weren't going to hurt me.

I was the one girl that was going to be different to you and the one girl you could let into your life for an extended period of time, but our time was cut short because of you. I appreciate everything you have done for me though, you were amazing to me but you gave up on me. But just because you gave up on me, only means I'm going to work harder to not give up on myself.

Love always,

the girl who trusted you

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.
