To The Girl Going Through A Breakup

I am you.

Living Words

To the Girl Going Through a Breakup,

I am you. I am in this with you. You are not alone. The crying and the pain and the wondering if you did the right thing. I am with you. You're worried and insecure. You're in pain and you think about it and it hits you like a ton of bricks. I am you. I sit in class and when my mind wanders, it wanders to him. It doesn't matter if your break up was mutual, or if you wanted it, or if he wanted it. It still hits you like a ton of bricks and you wonder if there was anything you could have done to save yourself from this heartache.

But, I am not here to dwell on the negative.

Instead, I am here to tell you that you are strong. You are important. You are beautiful. You are loved. You are valued so much more than you think you are. You are loved by so many, but most importantly, you are loved by your Creator. God knows exactly what you're going through. He knows your every thought and emotion. After all, he created them, and how well do you know the things you create? God loves you so much more than any boy ever could.

I am here to tell you to use this time to have fun. Go out with friends and make memories. Go to places you've never been, and FYI -- it's totally acceptable to go alone. Find yourself. Have some alone time. Read scripture and study. Talk to friends. Talk to your mom (Moms are particularly helpful in these situations) Find your calling. Pray. Give it all to God, and just let it go. (I'm still struggling with that part.) Instead of finding who you are based on your relationships with other people, find who you are in Jesus Christ. Your life will vastly improve, and when you're ready, He will lead you to the right person.

Don't think these feelings last forever, because they don't. It's hard, and you have the right to be sad for a little while, but don't let the sadness take over. Don't let sadness ruin what is probably one of the best times for self-discovery in your life. You are loved and treasured by the One who loves you the most, and that is what matters.

Love,

A Girl Going Through a Breakup

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.
