Thank you for showing me I am worth so much more.

Today I realized that I don’t need you. Even though looking at you makes me miss the way you used to hold me so gently, and those eyes, God those eyes did they remind me so much of why I fell in love with you. Even though I wish you could teach me how to move on as quickly as you did, I have taught myself. I no longer feel sick at the thought of you but instead strength. I am stronger then I ever thought I could be - so I want to thank you for teaching me that I can fall in love. Someone is capable of loving me. You just weren’t strong enough to take care of my heavy heart. I don’t regret a single second that I was with you. You taught me so many things, good and bad.

Falling in love with you was giving you a loaded gun and pointing it at my heart. I trusted you not to pull the trigger but you pulled it, not once, but twice. You missed. You hurt me like I thought no one could, but I came back stronger and more beautiful than I have ever been so thank you for that because now I know I am capable of handling anything that this twisted world throws at me. Everyone says that you’ll come crawling back, and I know you will. When she leaves you won’t know what to do. You’ll try to apologize for hurting me and tell me how much you need me. My heart will sink, I will cry, no doubt. But I’ll take your hands, tears running down my face, and say “I never met a person like you. You were my first love and always will be. I loved when you told me I was beautiful and I was so different from any other girl. I would absolutely love to fall back in love with you,” I’ll let go of his hands. “But you left me once and you’ll leave me again.” Maybe this time not for the same reason but for some other reason.

You don’t deserve someone like me and I deserve someone so much better then you. I wish you nothing but the best but I am moving on. I realized I fell in love with the way you made me feel. I fell in love with all of our adventures. But I was never truly in love with you. So this time I will be the one to pull the trigger and I won’t miss.

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.
