The Girl Who Wasn't Ready To Love Me

You weren't ready, but I was.

The Girl Who Wasn't Ready To Love Me

To the girl who wasn't ready to love me,

We were young when we met. I fell in love and I thought you did too. We spent every waking moment together and we talked non-stop about our future and all the things we would do and accomplish. But then you cheated for the first of what I didn't know would be many times in the few short months we were together. I fell in love, you fell in lust; we were at two completely different ends of the spectrum. Eventually, when we broke up, it was because I was grounded and had no phone to talk to you and give you attention, so you decided you were gonna leave me for your ex. You broke me. You broke my heart and then you decided to play with the pieces. You played head games with me for months on end until one day I realized how shitty of a person you are. You told me no one would love me like you did. Well, you're wrong. You told me I wasn't really lovable. Well, you're wrong. You told me that everyone I'm ever with will cheat on me. Well, guess what, you are wrong. A year later, you see I'm in a happy healthy relationship and you just tried to swing in with the whole "I miss you and love you and I'm ready to love you now" bull crap. But now it's been four years since the last time we talked. I'm in love again despite all the hurt and pain you put me through. I am no one's second option. I'm not a backup plan and I'm definitely not a rebound. I deserve better than someone who is going to try and sleep with my best friend while I'm with them. I'm worth more than your ugly words. I am beautiful, I am smart and I am funny. You lost, not me. So here's to the girl that destroyed my heart but never destroyed me. I hope one day you aren't so miserable and you learn how to love yourself and other people around you.

Sincerely,

The girl whose heart you broke.

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.
