You will always be in my heart.

To The Boy I Had to Let Go,

You were everything I ever imagined and wanted. All of the dreams I had about meeting a boy, and all of the things we would do together suddenly played out. From our first kiss during a slow song on our freshmen homecoming, all the way to consistently telling me I looked beautiful when I wore my nerdy glasses. You had me living in a fantasy. But I was distracted by my hopes to see that you always wanted to be around someone else. You only wanted me around when it was convenient for you. You were my FIRST LOVE and I never thought I would let you go. I watched you fall for other girls, while I cried each night. I knew it was time to let you go. Once I started to find myself away from you, I found someone who really does care about me. You tried to stop me and some of me would have let you back in, but I didn't. It took me six months after to see that I did not need your number in my phone or all the letters you sent me.

My favorite memories with you were the ones that were the simplest. I enjoyed just sitting and watching movies with you. I loved telling our life stories to each other. I went through so much as a kid and being able to share all of that with you meant more to me than you could ever imagine. I have never been able to open up to someone like I did with you. I trusted you with my life. I have never been able to do that with anyone else. Breaking my wall down was the hardest thing I have ever done. You meant the world to me and you always will. I will always love you no matter what. Don't ever think that I don't. Don't ever think that I took you for granted. I appreciated everything you ever did for me. You were the best thing that ever happened to me.

I wanted to thank you for all you have done. Thank you for loving me at my worst and praising me at my best. You never let my head get too big, and you always told me to work as hard as I could. I am who I am today because of you. Thank you for teaching me how to love. Thank you for caring. I don't know if I would've been able to make it through the situations that I did without you. I will forever compare every guy to you. No guy will ever be able to fill your shoes. Being with you was the best part of my day. I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for being you. Being without you will always hurt deep down inside of me. Our memories will always mean the most to me.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Will Always Love You

P.S. I will never love someone the way that I loved 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.
