Finally Moving On

Finally moving on with my life.

Finally Moving On
Quote Fancy

So I have written numerous articles on my past relationship. All of these articles were about how I missed him and how it was a struggle to not get back together with him. Well this one is going to be a little different.

It has been a little over six months since my relationship with my ex ended. It has been a long and rough road since we broke up. There has been lots of tears, lots of over thinking and a lot of struggling to not go back to him.

Everyday I would literally ask myself a million times did I make the right decision? Should I text him? Or just leave it alone? Maybe I should just ask him how he's doing? Or maybe I should just give in and tell him I want him back and that I made the biggest mistake letting him go.

For the first time in six months though, I actually feel happy about being on my own. For the first time in six months, I don't think about my ex everyday, I don't wonder if I made the wrong decision anymore. Because for the first time I feel that I made the right decision, to not go back.

That was the main thing I struggled with I feared that I made the wrong decision to break up with him the second time. For months and months it was like an everyday thing that I would think about and I would regret my decision I had made. I though I was letting go of the love of my life and I would never find it again. I thought what if he has changed into a totally different person and I am just not giving him the time of day.

But no, now I realize I made the best decision getting him out of my life. I would not be the person I am today if I was still with him. Now I actually put myself first and think about what is in best interest for myself. I am outgoing now. I actually like to go and do stuff and not just sit at home wondering what he is doing. I like spending more time with my friends now. And I like being able to express the way I feel and not getting argued with or told I am wrong.

So finally I am moving on with my life. I am closing that chapter in my life and I am not looking back. No more regret. But I have to say moving on is the best thing I have ever done.

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.
