To The Friends I'm Not With Anymore

An open letter to the once-best-friends that are no longer in my life, but I still care about.

Dear all of the friends that I used to talk with 24/7,

I love you still, I always will. It took me a loooong time to move on from you, but even then, my door's still open for you if you are willing to come back into my life.

Personally, it's because I do not like to give up on people, and also because I still wish you the best, even if we don't associate with each other anymore. I still pray for you, I love seeing you succeed, and I always wonder if you're okay and content deep down with yourself and your life.

I want to let you know that I am always here for you for absolutely anything and everything, even though you probably don't even need me anymore.

Personally, I won't ever feel like I'm enough for you, and sometimes I feel like I really need you, but then I realize that maybe I can survive and make do without you. I have other best friends who actually care for me, but sometimes I wish I could still consider you as one of my best friends.

I am fine without you, but I still care for you.

I miss you a lot, and I'm really sorry for taking our time together for granted. If only I knew better, I would've done so much better for you and treated you far better than I did back then.

I'm broken, and you are too. Everyone is, somehow. I wish I could be there for you again and help heal your brokenness, but I can only love you from a distance.

Please don't ever forget that I'm still willing to welcome you back with open arms and especially an open heart. I'll keep praying for you like I have been, and I hope in the future we can cross paths again.

You deserve the world, and I wish you the best and more.

Sincerely,

Mariel

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.
