Because no one will love you like your first love.

Dear My First Love,

You will never know how truly sorry I am for breaking your heart. You were the first boy to ever really loved me, you loved me before I even loved myself and I think that was the problem all along. You were ready for forever and I couldn't understand how you could spend all of your time with me. But you did and I know you truly loved me and only wanted the best for me. So I would like to say a few things I didn't get to say before I left that night.

I'm sorry I couldn't be the girl you needed, and even if you don't see it I left to protect you. I am sorry I spent some nights on my phone ignoring you. I am sorry for always tickling you. I am sorry this didn't work out, but I will always love you and want the best for you. I am sorry I had to say this in a letter and couldn't say this to you. But I am mostly sorry you had to suffer for so long before I finally spoke up and admitted we were through.

Thank you for being my best friend and the most loyal secret keeper of them all. Thank you for forcing me to try new things. Thank you for teaching me you can have fun without being drunk. Thank you for being sensitive to my anxieties and always reassuring me when I needed it. Thank you for keeping a blanket in the car because I am constantly cold. Thank you for showing me those boys I thought "loved" me just wanted my body. Thank you for always holding my hand when I was scared. Thank you for trying so hard to fix things the moment you realized they were so broken. Thank you for never pressuring me. Thank you for showing me love is protecting someone at all costs. Thank you for letting yourself be miserable so I could be happy and grow. Thank you for the best year of my life. And finally, thank you for being the best first love a girl could ever hope for.

I hope you get everything you hoped for. I hope you become the person I know you are capable for being. I hope you finally watch Game Of Thrones and get what the hype was all about. I hope you get over your first love to meet your great love, even though no one will ever be deserving of all the love you have to give. But mostly I hope you never forget me.

Yours always xo.

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.
