An Open Letter To The Boy Who Never Deserved Me

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Never Deserved Me
The Spirit Science

Hey again,

I don’t know how we got here. One day we were planning our life together, hoping for the future. One day, we were happy, or so I thought. I would have done anything for you. I was there for you through lost loved ones, friendships, and fights. I brought you food when you were sick. I pushed you to be a better person. I did everything I could have done to be the person you needed me to be, but it still wasn’t enough.

One day when you look back on our relationship, I hope you will remember the good times. I know I always will. But better yet, I hope you realize how awful you were to me, and how great I was to you. I hope you grow up, and treat your next girlfriend with more respect.

I’m gone now. I’m moving on, and I’ve accepted that we will never be together again. I am preparing myself to give all the love I have in my heart to someone else. And I will not let you dictate my happiness anymore.

For a long time, I’ve wondered if I’m good enough, or if I was the one who ruined the relationship. I wondered what I could change about myself to make you want me or love me more. But I won’t do that anymore. I am thankful for the way things are because I learned a lot. I know I am beautiful and strong, and that it wasn’t me. We just weren’t meant to be together. There is someone out there who will choose me. Someone who will appreciate everything I give them, and give me everything in return. Someone who will not take me for granted.

I’m not asking you to regret your decisions. We were young and immature and didn’t have the ability to know what we really wanted. I’m just asking that you learn from them. I hope that you know to never treat someone the way you treated me. I hope you never ignore someone for days on end unless it’s convenient for you. I hope you learn to love with all your heart and treat women with respect and compassion. Don’t use them, take advantage of their feelings, or say you love them if you don’t.

So thank you. I love you. I always have and I always will. But I’m better off without you.

Sincerely,

The girl you never deserved

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.
