To The Boy Who Used To Try Again,

We had some good times and some rough ones but they just didn’t even out enough to make us work. There were times I wished you would notice more than just my pretty face. I know there were times you wanted me to be more understanding and be the girl of your perfect dreams. I wasn’t able to be that perfect girl. You would only make me feel worthy when it was convenient for you. I felt like the only thing I was ever good for was sex or when you needed someone to complain about your exes to. I never felt like I was worth any of your time.

When you asked me if we could “start over” you knew I was in a relationship for almost 2 years. You knew I had my son on the way with the man I love dearly. Why? Why did you think I was going to just up and leave this man and come back to you? Did you think I would forget about all the times you left me feeling like I was nothing but a good booty call? We talk every once in a while but it always seems to turn into a sexual conversation after about 20 minutes. I don’t know what you expect from me. You asked me to still be friends but when I do just that you still push for more. I can’t change the fact of what we were way back when, but I can change who I was as a person.

I have grown up to love myself and not bring myself down to the low standards I allowed myself to be when I was with you. I am with a man who makes time for me and doesn’t just think that I’m a nice piece of woman meat. I have my son who is everything to me. I will always be there as a friend to talk to but nothing more. I will not allow myself to go back to the girl I was when we were together. I choose to be the woman I am today for myself and for my son. I am choosing to be a role model for him so he can choose the right direction instead of the wrong one like I did.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Moved On

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.
