One Day I Will Be Enough And I'll Forget The Way You Broke My Heart

Hopefully, one day, I'll forget the way you broke my heart.

I just want to know why I am not good enough…

I want to know what you see in her that you didn't in me. I want to know why you're happy to do things she wants to but, whenever I suggested something that I may have wanted to do, you shot it down without a question. I want to know what you see when she smiles and why my smile didn't cut it. I want to know what it is about her hair that makes you want to run your fingers through it. I want to know what it is about her eyes that make you want to stare into them for minutes at a time, looking into your future with her. I want to know why you see your future with her and you couldn't even see tomorrow with me.

It’s just hard for me to understand how I could’ve put all of my time and energy into you and yet.. I received nothing in return. I was good to you. I put you first. I stuck up for you, when my friends told me you wouldn’t change. I did everything in my power to make you smile… that damn smile. I did everything you wanted because I wanted to love what you love. I told you things I don’t tell anyone because I wanted to let you in. I spent all of my time with you because I wanted to make memories with you. I wanted to be the one that got you out of your comfort zone and helped you to do things you wouldn't have done on your own. I wanted your face to be the one I wake up to every morning. I wanted your laugh to be the one that gets me to laugh too. I wanted to dance around the kitchen with you at 2am when we couldn't sleep. I wanted to cook you dinner... I wanted so much... but I guess it was too much to ask for.

I know that forever is a long time. And I know that making that decision when you're nineteen is hard. But, I guess I just expected more of an opportunity for me to show you what a good life with me looks like. I expected you to show me that you were at least considering it. I was expecting an opportunity to show you that a future with me was worth it. I just wish I had the opportunity...

But right now I'm sitting on my couch, crying my eyes out… crying every single thing I've ever wanted to tell you out. I'm not hiding it anymore. But I know it'll get better… I know that one day I won't care why she's better than I am. One day, I know that I won't care what you thought about when you looked into my eyes. I know that one day I'll have moved on. Hopefully, one day, I'll forget the way you broke my heart.

One day… I'll be enough for 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.
