The Day We Broke Up

My whole world changed in one day.

The Day We Broke Up

The Day we broke up,

I remember crying as I left your dorm

The Day we broke up,

My whole world felt like it was crashing down

The Day we broke up,

Everything became blurry and unreal. You were my world and now,

You were nothing.

The Morning after we broke up,

Puffy-eyed and heartbroken, I made a vow to end my life.

The one that you once controlled.

The Day after we broke up,

I realized all of your broken promises and lies were a reflection,

Of you not Me

The Day after we broke up,

I was reborn. I vowed to never let a silly, little boy have so much control over me

The Day after we broke up,

I quit chasing boys and began making time for myself

A Year after we broke up,

I have transformed into a new person.

Stronger, more resilient than ever before.

Saving everything meaningful to me and holding on to it tightly until,

the Man that God brings into my life is ready to help me carry it.

A Man who will actually love Me,

All of Me

When God says I am ready,

I will find the man who accepts me for me, Flaws included.

The Me,

That snorts when I laugh too hard,

The Me,

That is in love with the beauty of dying leaves and the smell of fresh cut hay.

The Me,

That is now able to see that I am and will always be,

Too good for you.

The Me,

That will never allow some silly, little boy, to control me

The Me,

That is the daughter of the One True King.

The Me,

That will walk with purpose and confidence

The Me,

That will no longer fall asleep with tears wetting my pillow

For when I wake, I will move mountains

The Day we broke up,

I thought my life was over

But little did I know that,

The Day we broke up,

Would become the best day of,

my life.

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.
