Dear Salad, I'm sorry, But I'm Breaking up With you

I don't want to say you're not good enough, but you just don't fulfill me.

Dear Salad,

I'm sorry but you're just not what I'm looking for.

You're great, so I don't want you to take this the wrong way. You're just so much better when you have your friends around. You know, some almonds, maybe some fruit or vegetables, some chicken, some dressing, or any other types of things that you pair amazingly well with (pears sound good and go really well with you, actually). They definitely change you a bit, you know, make you more lively and make you come out of your shell. Those are the times that I think I love you - hell, I know I love you - when you're paired with your friends. Unfortunately, you're not always like that.

You just don't fulfill me. You leave me feeling like I want more, and what I want more of, I know isn't always good for me. But those things that I want more of always make me feel better in the moment. You are so crisp and light but you don't have too much substance and it's hard to feel fulfilled after having you.

You're the fad that everyone wants to be with, and some people stick with you. That's great for them, I honestly envy them because they can stick with you and love you for who you are. I, unfortunately, love your enemy. The enemy who is cakes and cookies and baked goods, as well as all types of carbs. And while some may say that I'm unhealthy for liking these things, I think they're good for a person in small measures.

Look, I tried to make it work. I tried to make you a constant part of my life. There are some days where I really think we're going to get along, or that we're going to get along for a long period of time. I'd still love for you to be a part of my life on a semi-regular basis. I hope we'll share laughs and a meal and we'll get along for the rest of our lives.

So, I'm sorry, salad, but I just want to be friends.

I just want to hang out occasionally, and not cling to you or make you a part of my life that I can't live without. I don't want to depend on you to feel good about myself and I don't think it's healthy to obsess over you. I think we'll be able to live simultaneously and get along really well for the rest of our lives. I hope you feel the same way.

Sincerely,

Me

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.
