I don’t hate you, I simply just don’t love you anymore

Open Letter To The Guy Who Broke Me
Gender Focus

It’s because of you that I shy away from nice guys.

It’s because of you that I don’t expect a man to do polite things such as open doors for me, and because of you, I don’t know what it means to be appreciated in the way that I should.

It’s because of you that I push all compliments and sincerity away.

And it’s because of you that I constantly apologize for the simplest things. Ever since you, “sorry” has become one of the most prominent words in my vocabulary.

It shouldn’t be this way, though it is, because of you.

You broke me and gave me a bad taste of love that comes back to me every now and then. It was you who gave me no want to further a relationship with any guy that has walked into my life.

It is because of you that I felt broke and unworthy for any relationship other than the one we had.

You treated me poorly and abused the love I gave to you, but it’s because of you I realized that I deserve more.

I realized that I do not need you and that I never did.

I realized that it you who was the problem, and not I.

I realized that you need help. You’re not a bad guy just a guy with a bad temper.

What’s more is I realized that after all this time I am worthy of a relationship.

Now it’s clear to me that you were simply a lesson to be learned. You taught me that I deserve more than what you could give. I learned that respect and patience are key elements to a healthy relationship.

I don’t hate you, I simply just don’t love you anymore. After all that you’ve done, I would like to thank you for making me realize that I needed something more.

And ever since I’ve found that “something more,” it is because of him that I know what it is like to be appreciated.

Best wishes,

Sav

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.
