Our Last Break Up

A letter to the boy I spent three years of my life with.

Our Last Break Up
Shortday

A letter to the boy I thought I would end up with:

This is the letter for our final break up. This is where it ended. Though we broke up a few months ago, I am just now writing this because I wanted to be sure that it was real, and I wasn't really sure what to say.

We had it good

Some of my best high school memories were spent with you. You truly knew how to make me happy. I know what it feels like to love watching someone laugh, and what it feels to be overwhelmed with joy - all because of one person. I would watch you sing from the passenger seat, while holding your hand, and be on top of the world. Happiness with you was even as simple as laying in your bed, watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas, just because it was my favorite movie. I will never deny the fact that I was happy with you.

We had the not-so-good

This is where we were troubled. I never knew what day would be good, or bad. I had to walk on eggshells around you, just to avoid arguments. Even then, I still found us in a constant, bickering state. We were too young, to be fighting so much. Some of my worst nights, were spent crying over you. So many things were said, and so many things were taken back. Promises made, and promises broken.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything. Thank you for the laughs, the tears, the good times, and the bad. You were my high school love, and I love you for that. There are so many memories that I would not trade for the world. Thank you for showing me what happiness does feel like. Thank you for showing me that I deserve better.

I wish you the best

I hope you are truly happy. I hope you graduate, and life becomes what you have always wanted. I hope you find a girl that brings out the best in you, and that she holds on to you.

Our last break up was the hardest, and I am still not over it. I will always care about you, no matter how bad things ended between us. You taught me so much. I will always remember you as my high school romance, but unfortunately, that is all you will ever be.

Sincerely,

The girl you spent three years of your life with

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.
