I'm Sorry I Couldn't Be the Friend You Needed

I'm sorry I couldn't be the friend you needed but I hope you find the one you do.

I'm sorry I couldn't be the friend that you needed.

I'm sorry I was going through a hard time when your life was getting better. I'm sorry you felt like you couldn't be there for me when I was going through my own issues. I'm sorry I was the one that told you the hard truth when you needed to hear it. I'm sorry if I wasn't supportive enough when I was busy with my life. And I'm sorry that my life kept going even when yours fell apart.

I wish our long talks, car rides and screaming songs at the top of our lungs could save this emptiness our friendship has turned into. I wish we could have that one summer back and we could be carefree and wild again. I never would have thought we could get to that place after all these years of secrets and promises.

I'm sorry my life settled down way before yours. I'm sorry if I ever made you feel less than me.

I know that I went from the crazy party girl to the very Christian settled working girl I am today. I'm aware all of my decisions effected you too. I hope you know how grateful I am that you helped and supported me through so many milestones.

Sometimes I want to call you a bad friend but at one time you never would have hurt me like this. I wish things could have been different. I wish you would have loved the women I became just as much as I do. You may think I haven't changed at all or that I'm still the young immature girl I was through most of our friendship. For that, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you never got to see the passion I have for all the new things that make my life better because you stopped coming around. I'm sorry you got so caught up in your new life that we grew apart. I'm sorry that I started feeling more like a burden than a best friend.

At the end of the day, all of this was probably both of our faults. You stopped being there when I needed you but I stopped reaching out as much too. I continued to better myself through things that you just weren't as interested in. You fell in love with someone I didn't like and I lost respect for you. We have both done things the other has hated but we have both gone above and beyond for each other.

I'm sorry we grew out of each others lives. I wish things like this never happened but sadly they do. I will never forget our long nights and car performances. I know in my heart we both could have avoided this but sometimes the inevitable happens. I'll never tell a secret and I pray you won't either. I'm sorry I couldn't be the friend you needed but I hope you find the one you do.

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.
