A Letter To My First Real Love

"I fell in love the way you fall asleep. Slowly, and then all at once."

Dear first real love,

I know you will probably read this but, I do not know what you'll think. Though, I have actually fallen in love with you. Yes, though you are not the first person I have fallen in love with. The others were either just a crush or one sided.

You are probably wondering how or why I had fallen in love with you. It is not like Cupid came with his arrow and struck me for you. It was not a cliche moment when we looked into each others eyes and knew that we were made for each other. No, it took time to fall in love. But, like the great John Green quotes from his character Hazel Grace Lanchester, "I fell in love the way you fall asleep. Slowly, then all at once."

That is exactly how it felt. At first the feelings start and then they progressed, then boom you are signing Accidentally in Love by the Counting Crows. It was not an accident. Whenever I listen to love songs I always think of you. That means Taylor Swift is defiantly not on my playlist.

I fell in love with your charm and wit. The times we just kept eachother company and of the late nights of pure bliss. Your smile that makes me smile and how your eyes crinkle by your eyes when laugh. Your eyes when I look into them and see that you are looking back at me.

I mostly fell in love with your vulnerability to the world. Like Superman you are human and know you have weaknesses. You are open and honest with your feelings of yourself to yourself and others. That is something by I truly admire about you.

Alas, everything was not happily ever after. Even Disney characters have their own struggles. With all the steps taken forward. We had taken a few back and paused. Being able to do that and see situations in that perspective, we were able to skip ahead.

Sadly one day I will fall out of love. It happens to everyone. Or worse you fall in love with someone else. Even if those do happen. You are still special to me and even if the feelings go. They are never forgotten in my heart. But for the time being, I hope the feelings both stay.

Love,

The person who has fallen for you

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

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.

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.
