I just wanted to say thank you.

Dear Rebound,

I know that we don't really talk anymore, but I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for giving me my confidence back. I really don't think I would've gotten through my breakup if it wasn't for you. You were the one who helped me move on and made me realize what I deserve out of a relationship. You made me feel beautiful and wanted at a time where I couldn't have felt more unloved and worthless. The little things you did and said meant a lot to me.

Thank you for being strong when I couldn't be. You knew I was having a hard time, but you were there for me anyway. You cheered me up when I was sad and kept me busy when I started to think too much. You were my rock when I really needed someone to lean on. I will forever be grateful to you for that.

Thank you for coming into my life at the best possible time for me and the worst possible time for you. I know it wasn't easy for you to be with someone who was emotionally unavailable, which is why I understand why you decided to end things between us. I wish I could've been there for you as much as you were there for me. I will always wonder what would've happened to us if we met under different circumstances.

Thank you for, well, everything. For the hugs and for the kisses. For listening to me when I needed to talk and for sitting in silence when I didn't. For taking me out when I wanted to do something and for staying in with me when I didn't. Thanks for bringing me pizza, listening to the music I like, and watching Disney movies and going to the mall with me. I have so many fond memories with you and will always cherish the time we spent together.

But more than any of this, thank you for reminding me what it was like to be happy.

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.
