The pain will not last forever.

A Letter To My Brokenhearted Friend
IMG

You are broken, my friend. You are so hurt. I hate seeing you this way so much, but I understand. I have been there before. You are with someone for so long because you cannot imagine life without them. You truly love them. You can't bear to do life without them. The pain of being with them was so much better than the pain of being without.

But you see the thing is, my friend, it will get better. You lose this person and you will gain someone who will never put you in this situation again. You will not have to feel this same pain with them, and you will not feel like you are fighting against the world. This person will never leave you alone. They will fight for you and make you feel worth it. God has a plan for you. One better than anything you could ever imagine.

This guy who broke you didn't deserve you. You deserve a guy who brings you up. Not one who tears you down. You deserve someone who will love you for all your perfect imperfections. Because everything about you is perfect, no matter what anyone says.

But be sad, it is okay. But do not let the sad times you are having make you forget the happiness you used to feel. Rember the happy times and learn from the bad. Take what you love about him and look for it in a man. But until you find that man, do not settle on anyone less than what you deserve. And please do not move on until you are ready.

I promise this is only temporary. Right now it feels like it is forever, but it really isn't. One day you will wake up and you will be able to breathe again. One day you will wake up and he won't be the first thing to cross your mind. Until then, my friend, it is okay to be sad. It is okay to cry, but what isn't okay is giving up. Giving up is never the correct option.

You have every right to tell him exactly how you feel.Tell him how he is not worth your time anymore. Tell him that he never gets to break your heart again. Tell him that you do hope he finds love because I know no matter how much you want to hate him you still truly do love him and want what is best for him. His happiness should ultimately inspire you to be happy.

I love you. my friend.

"Dear God,

If today I lose my hope, please remind me that Your plans are better than my dreams.

-Your Faithful Servant."

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.
