An Open Letter To The Boy Who Actually Treats Me Right

I just want to say, I never really get my feelings out in the best ways. I can be so awkward and so I just keep things to myself. I know this is cheesy, and it probably won’t come out right but here goes.

I want to say thank you.

Thank you for always checking in on me throughout the day even though we are both busy. Thank you for doing sweet things like taking me out to dinner when every other guy only wants to “Netflix and chill.” It’s been a long time since someone actually treated me with respect. Thank you for treating me like a living human being and caring about my wants and needs, for pushing me to be a better person, and being there for me through all my anxiety and stress. Thank you for helping me to see the positive things in life and keeping me focused on my goals. Thank you for all the little things you do like snuggling when I’m cold, kissing me just because, and telling me how beautiful I am inside and out even though I sometimes don’t believe it. Thank you for being different from just about every other guy in this day and age and proving to me that real, decent men still exist in today’s world.

Thank you for dealing with all my baggage and insecurities I’ve amassed due to some rather toxic relationships and experiences. Thank you for being open to communicating problems and concerns like an adult instead of blowing me off or getting angry with me. It’s ridiculous I even have to say this but thank you for not cheating on me or trying to get with other girls when I’m not around. You can’t believe the amount of times it’s happened. Thank you for going on random drives with me, just singing, listening to music and talking about the future together.

Thank you for showing me the beauty in life and that love isn’t something to fear, that it’s something to enjoy. Thank you for breaking down all my walls by showing me you are a kind and compassionate person at heart with your own share of not-so-great experiences similar to mine. Thank you for opening yourself to me and giving me a chance. I promise to do everything I can to help you succeed and reach your goals like you do for me. Keep being the big-hearted, sweet, passionate, driven, amazing person you are and know that I don’t even have the words to thank you for all you do and have done for me.

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.
