To The Boy Who Broke My Heart

Thank you for making me realize how I deserve to be treated.

You,

I was so in love with you.

You were my everything.

We fell for each other fast.

I loved everything about you. I loved how you said my name. I loved your tousled hair. I loved the smell of your cologne. I loved you so much that I put you before myself, and that is a mistake I will never make again.

I cared for you in times of sickness. I consoled you in times of distress. I was your rock when your temper got the best of you. I became a part of your family. I planned all of our dates. I thought of you always. I told you I loved you endlessly. I did everything for you. I was there for you when no one else was. I was the only person you could trust with your inner demons. I knew you better than you knew yourself.

I wonder if you have any remorse for treating me so disrespectfully. You put me last, when I always put you first. You gave 50 percent, when I gave it my all. You pushed me away when all I wanted was your affection. You made derogatory, rude comments towards me, and I was unresisting to them. You made me vulnerable. You made me cry on my bathroom floor, with heartache swelling in my chest and the sting of tears in my eyes. You made me submissive to your manipulative control. You told me I wasn’t good enough. You broke my trust. But worst of all, you made me feel as though I should apologize for being who I am.

I want to thank you. Thank you for the learning experience. Thank you for making me a better woman. Thank you for making me resilient. Thank you for teaching me the importance of self-respect. Thank you for showing me how to walk away. Thank you for making me realize that I lost who I was. Thank you for helping me to discover my inner strength. Thank you for making me realize how I deserve to be treated. Thank you for teaching me to enjoy my own company. Thank you for giving me the tools to help other women who share my struggles. Thank you for setting me free. Thank you for making me realize that I deserve better.

One day you will realize that you let go of your precious diamond to play around with worthless pebbles.

You didn’t deserve me.

Sincerely,

The new me.

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.
