To The Broken Girl: I'm Sorry

I thought he was the one who kept my head above water when I was sinking. But now I realize the only reason I was sinking at all was because he was pushing me down.

To The Broken Girl: I'm Sorry
Imgur

I'm sorry. I'm sorry he broke your heart. I'm sorry you didn't see the jerk side in him. I'm sorry you made him seem better in your head than he really was. I'm sorry he moved on so quickly. I'm sorry he's flirting with your friends. Im sorry you cry most nights. I'm sorry you feel worthless, used and sad. I'm sorry you fell in love with someone not worth the pain he left you with. I'm sorry he left. I'm sorry you can't help but wake up in the middle of the night and think of all the memories you two shared. I'm so sorry you have to go through all this.

I'm sorry for every night you looked at the clock and it was blurry because of the tears in your eyes as you struggled to find that it was four a.m. and you hadn't slept a wink even though you had to be up in three hours. That was all because he made you feel like you weren't good enough. I'm sorry for all the make-up it took to cover the bags under your eyes and the depression written on your face.

I'm sorry for him making it extremely hard for another man to love you because you won't let anyone get close enough. I'm sorry he didn't give you the love and respect you deserve. I'm sorry he made it to where the words "I love you" leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. I'm sorry for every time your friends had to pick you up and take you out to cheer you up. I'm sorry for all the bad decisions you made trying to erase his memory. I'm sorry for the bruises. I'm sorry for the bruises that could be seen and the "bruises" on the inside that no one could see. I'm sorry for everything he put you through.

As Meredith Grey once said, "I don't know why we all hang on to something we know we're better off letting go of. It's like we're scared to lose what we don't even really have. Some of us say we'd rather have something than absolutely nothing, but the truth is, to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all."

You deserve someone who you can get into arguments with and still have them look at you as if you're the best thing to ever happen to them. Don't turn bitter or you'll start pushing away the one boy that will come and try to save you.

The broken will always be able to love harder than most. Once you've been in the dark, you learn to appreciate everything that shines. You've got this.

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.
