To My Second Love
Tumblr

Everyone is always stuck on how their first love is the greatest and how they will not ever forget them. They are stuck on how the first cut is the deepest. No one ever stops to think about their second love. The very person who made them believe in love again. The person who took that broken heart and put the pieces back together like they were never broken. No one ever stops to thank their second love for picking them up off the ground and for giving them something to believe in again. So I am here to do just that.

Thank you. Even though you were the biggest pain in my ass, I have never loved anything like I love you. Thank you for seeing all of my broken pieces and putting them back together even if you got hurt along the way. Thank you for loving every single one of my flaws even if I did not deserve it. Thank you for giving me something to believe in again. Thank you for laying there next to me and watching the world's most girly movies. Thank you for sitting in the passenger seat even though I was never the best driver. Thank you for being with me even if it was the hardest thing in the world. Thank you for wiping away the tears even if I am the ugliest crier. Thank you for buying me jibbitz even if you hated that I wore crocs. Thank you for believing in me even when I did not believe in myself. Thank you for holding my hand even in 90 degree weather. Thank you for seeing the good side of every ugly situation we were in. Thank you for showing up at every important event even when you had better things to be doing. Thank you for taking pictures with me every single time you saw me even if you hated it. Thank you for teaching me how to love someone unconditionally. Thank you for some of the best times of my 18 years. Thank you for showing me what real love was. Thank you for sticking around as long as you did.

They say that love fades eventually, but my love for you has not faded after these almost eight months apart. Throughout all the doubt and the hurt, our love will be the love I tell my daughter to strive for. The way you treated me will be the way I tell my son to treat any woman he ever comes in contact with. Thank you to all those second loves out there, you have saved someone.

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.
