​An Open Letter To The Person Who Severed All Ties

In a world where we are so connected, it's still possible to completely lose touch.

To The Person Who Severed All Ties,

It is little things that remind me of you, that make me think about you. Quirky things that you used to point out to me, things that no other human noticed; like the type of font used on a billboard. I often find myself wondering what happened that caused you to sever all ties. I find myself wondering why I did not notice it – we simply tapered off in conversation before you disappeared completely. Even if I wanted to contact you, I have no way. That's the crazy thing about today: you feel like you are so connected to people, but there is that little feature that can make it nearly impossible to find someone if you never see them in person.

It bothered me at first. We both started new chapters in our lives, we were a part of so many of those previous chapters of each other's lives. So is it really that odd that it bothers me? I can honestly say that I do not know what I did to provoke such actions, and I think that's what bothers me most when I ponder it.

I hope you know that even though you wrote yourself out of this chapter, you will always be in the back of my mind and I will always welcome you back in to my story. I trust that you made this decision for certain reasons and I do not resent you; quite the contrary, I respect you. I hope you are chasing all those dreams you talked about, and most importantly, I hope you are happy.

Sincerely,

The Disconnected Girl

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.
