To The "Best Friend" That Left

To The "Best Friend" That Left
Tumblr

We have all had a best friend that we thought was going to be our best friend forever. Then, for whatever reasons, you drift apart and you become strangers. Sometimes maybe you are the one that walks away, and sometimes they are the one that just walks away. My “best friend” walked away from me, for reasons I still do not know.

In a friendship, like any relationship, it has to work both ways. I’m not going to lie, sometimes I didn’t try my best or cancel other plans to be with my friend, but that didn’t mean I didn’t care about her. I did care about her and I still do. I’m not going to let anger get in the way of anything. We simply grew apart and that is no one’s fault.

It was hurtful to see you walk away and it still does hurt. What hurts is that I don’t understand what I did and I never will. I am hurt, but I am not hateful. I wouldn’t ignore you if I ever saw you again, but I would expect you to do that because you left. It hurts to know that I was always there for you and now when I need you, I can’t even text you.

Our friendship is memories that I will always cherish, but because you moved on, I have to do the same. I have to grow up and just continue my life. What I want you to know is if you ever need someone, I’m always a call away. I want you to know that I’m not mad. I want you to know that I won’t apologize for something I didn’t do. I want you to know that you left me because I am still here for you.

It’s hard to watch you walk away, but the worst was feeling us drift apart and pretending like everything was fine. It was hard to lose my best friend, but it also let me find myself. Losing you made me stronger because it showed me that even my best friend may leave, and I had to now pick myself up when I fell.

I want you to know that I won’t hold hatred for you in my heart, instead, I just don’t hold you in my heart. I won’t be mean; I will always be nice. I will always be here for you when you need someone, but I won’t become your best friend. I just want you to know, even though you hurt me, I thank you for making me stronger.

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.
