A Letter To My Boyfriend's Ex
Couple Laughing

I just want to say Thank you. Thank you for making it possible for me to meet someone who can remind me what butterflies feel like and for making it possible for me to love again.

I know you miss him and I am sure he misses you but right now I need him more. Thank you for letting him go. Thank you for letting him love again and love me. I am sure you both look back on the past. That is okay. You will always be his ex. You two will always have the past and I am grateful for that. If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't be here with me. You did everything just like it was planned and now I am the luckiest girl in the world. I found someone who I can love with my whole heart. I found someone that when I'm aggravated and want to give up will hug me and push me to keep going. I found someone who can make me laugh. I found someone who loves me. I am sure he loved you. I am sure you loved him. Thank you for that. Thank you for teaching him to be who he is. I know you know him like I do. I hope that something about you rubbed off on him and made him a better person, for me. I hope that you are happy as well. I do. I hope you find someone who you can love like Iove him,

Thank you for moving on. Thank you for arguing with him. Thank you not being the girl he was meant to be with. If it wasn't for yall arguing and not working me and him would not be together right now. So thank you for giving up. Thank you for letting him go. Thank you for not looking at him and realizing your whole again. Thank you for being you. I know that I am the new girlfriend and that you're not going to be okay with us together. It is okay for you to not like me. It will be okay. If I was his ex I wouldn't like his new girlfriend either. I am not mad at you. I know you won't always dislike me, or at least, I hope not.

I will tell you this. I love him. He is happy with me and he is becoming the man you always wished he would be. He is changing every day and even though it's not for you, he is a better man. All the things you wished are now coming true and I am sorry you can't be around to see.

So thank you for giving me the chance to fight for love, to help him grow into the person you knew he could be, for helping me love again and letting him move on without you.

Thank you,

His New Love

AI music threatens creativity

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.
