An Open Letter To The Boy Who Cheated On My Best Friend

I hate more than anything that I'm writing this right now. I've never liked to isolate blame on someone or accuse a person of being a certain way without personally knowing them or understanding the situation, but after watching my best friend fall apart from what you've done to her, I felt compelled to say something.

The moment I heard what you had done to her, my heart broke. She trusted you and loved you and you mistreated her in a way that will change her forever. She will never trust the same or be able to open herself up without having to break down the wall that you built up. I watched her pour into your relationship, sacrificing time, and parts of herself to make things work with you and to gain your trust, something that you were able to sacrifice in just a moment.

She made herself vulnerable to you and shared her insecurities. You threw that back in her face, and only magnified every bad thought she has ever had about herself.

What I want you to understand is that even though you hurt her, she's not broken. She smiles and laughs and her life has gone on. She is still a smart, confident and amazing person, who will be loved by someone far better than you could ever be for her. She will have successful and fulfilling relationships that will show her what real love and trust is. The girl you betrayed and misled is still just as incredible as she was before she met you, she's just stronger now.

You, on the other hand, will always be a cheater. You will always be the pathetic and insecure person who couldn't handle being in a long distance relationship. You will always be the boy who ended things over text because he couldn't handle how disgusting his own actions were enough to make a phone call. You will always be the name that comes through her mind that makes her cringe and hurt inside.

Hopefully, you will mature. Hopefully, you will grow past this person who you are now. A boy who thinks that he can do whatever he wants because he's drunk and too young to know any better.

Everyone knows you knew better.

I hope it made you feel good, and I hope it was worth it. Congratulations on proving your ability to get girls regardless of your relationship status.

Have an amazing life, I know she will.

Sincerely,

the girl who picked up the pieces of the mess you created.

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.
