To the Guy who broke my heart so long ago: Thank You.

It took everything that I had to finally let go... So here's my thank you to you.

To the Guy who broke my heart so long ago: Thank You.

You broke me in ways imaginable. So here I am, standing as a strong young woman, saying to you, Thanks. 

You made me believe in love at first sight. I never wanted to believe that when I was looking right at me, you were looking straight through me. You saw what you wanted and I saw what I wanted to see. 

I put up with all of your lies, gimmicks and games till the point where I believed that love was something that you only saw in movies. You allowed me to believe in something that wasn't there, and for a while, I hated you for that.

You allowed me to feel lonely. You allowed me to question my worth and my use of being here. Little did you know that all of our fights till 3am, all of our yelling and name calling, would lead me to believe that there must be something better.

The hours of shunning, the lonely nights to where you allowed me to go to bed upset or angry, and all the times to where you broke me down to the point where all I wanted was to be let loose of the shackles that you had hold of me. It made me stronger, stronger than you'll ever believe possible. Because of all the little games we played, I am allowed to stand here and say that after I won the game, I flipped the board. 

I know my worth. So thank you. Thank you for all the pointless accusations and mimicking. Thank you for not understanding me so that maybe one day, someone who is worth my while, will. Thank you for using my broken soul as a body bag for the ones yet to come. Because of you, I can show others how strong I have become. 

Thank you for underestimating me. Thank you for allowing me to feel trapped so that once I was freed, I know that true freedom feels like. Living. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know what I don't want in someone that I will spend the rest of my life with. Because of you, I know now what It's like to love and to be loved, by someone other than you.

Thank you for armoring me with the harsh names and my own tears. Now I am able to live and learn. Lastly, I would like to thank you for all the times to where I feel unloved.

Due to all of the walls that you allowed me to build up, I now have a kingdom in which I reign Queen.

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.
