To my dear old friend: Sleep.
©2016 Hey Sigmund

Dear Sleep,

Hey, How are you? Remember me? Are you avoiding me? Last night, I had about 2 and a half hours of sleep studying for Anatomy, and I just finished a 13 hour school day. All day, all I could think about was taking off my makeup, showering, getting into my pajamas and reuniting with you. Not having my daily dose of Dunkin iced coffee didn't help either. I looked and felt like hell!!

I know when I was younger we didn't see eye to eye. We had our fair shares of problems, but god, how I miss you. I took you for granted and didn't realize what I had until it was gone. You were nothing but good to me, and I treated you like shit, I'm sorry. I was a naive kid that had no Idea how beneficial you were to me. A teen who thought binge watching Onetreehill late at night was better than being with you. Boy, was I wrong!

I catch myself numerous of times thinking about you, wondering when you will bless me with your presence. I really miss you, I really really miss you, you were my first love and I truly am nothing without you. You were good to me mentally and physically. You were the glue that kept me together, kept me sanest. I know it sounds like I'm saying these things only to be back on your good side, but I mean it more than you'll ever know. Come back to me, please come back to me. This time, I'll treat you like the Queen you are, because you more than deserve it.

PS. Do you think you can stop teasing me, and come sooner than 1am, i'm getting tired of these late nights

PS. PS these bags under my eyes are not cute, girl!!! See you soon, hopefully.

Much love,
Istahil

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.
