I hope you realize I still love you

A Letter To My High School Crush

This is for all those girls (or guys) out there that has had the feeling of loving somebody and not having that person reciprocating those feelings. Trust me, that has happened to me plenty of times. Specifically, one person. I'm not going to say his name, because that is frankly embarrassing, so for the sake of this letter, let's just call him Guy.

Dear Guy,

I hope you realize four years of high school with you sucked. I hope you realize that while you were out partying and having fun with your friends at 2 AM, I was at home, binge watching Netflix and dreaming that you would show up to my door with a bouquet of flowers (cheesy, huh?). I hope you realize that whenever you would be in a relationship, I was dying inside. Because I was. It felt like my heart was ripped in two.

High school with you, Guy, was miserable. Everywhere I looked were signs of you and I couldn't get you out of my head. You were everywhere. From walking down the hallway at school to running into each other at my house was agonizing enough that I couldn't stand to be in the same room with you. It's crazy, huh? Here I was hopelessly in love with you and later I couldn't stand to be next to you. You just made me that crazy. I hope you realize that.

I hope you realize that to this day, I probably still am in love with you. I still will think about you during those sleepless nights at 2 AM and wonder what would have happened if we ended up together. I hope you realize that I still do imagine a time where we are together. I hope you realize that even I claim I'm over you, I will be lying because you were the first guy I ever truly loved. But I hope you realize that I am over you enough to go out, let loose, have fun, and make mistakes. I hope you realize that even though I have deep rooted feelings for you, I know how to set those feelings aside and have fun. I hope you realize those feelings are also in the past and that I will look upon those feelings and cherish those memories you gave me. I just hope you realize that this was real. I hope you realize your mistake of pushing me aside those years. I don't pray that you acknowledge me. I only hope you notice me.

Love (yes, love),

Your high school admirer that you never noticed.

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.
