To The Family I Lost In Touch With,

We grow up, life goes on, people come, and people go, and those who go are often those who were special people to us. However, just because they are no longer in our lives anymore it does not mean that we still don’t care or think about them. Our lives just went in different directions and we both started to enjoy different things. This doesn’t mean that I don’t love you anymore it just means that we don’t fit into each other’s lives anymore.

It has been five years since we have last seen each other. It is sometimes crazy to even think that because I used to be over at your house every weekend. I was even there when your daughter wasn’t home just to spend time with you both because you both were like my second parents. You treated me like your own in every way, shape and form. You congratulated me like your own and told me whenever I did something wrong the way you would tell your own daughter. You didn’t treat me any different and for that, I felt like your own child. I can’t thank you enough for showing me life in a different way and for taking me along for the ride all those years.

I wish that life had taken a different course and I wish I was still good friends with your daughter. We lost contact and since we lost contact I was no longer a part of your lives. You both were more than just my friend’s family because I thought of you like my own family. I’m sorry that life has a way of blinding who was truly important to us. I didn’t realize how much I had lost when I lost that friendship with your daughter. That loss hurt even more because I lost a family. I lost people who encouraged me, took care of me, helped me, supported me, and loved me. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to be a part of your lives and it was truly an honor. I am the way I am today because of you guys and I hope that one day our paths cross again. If not, I am thankful for the memories and I am thankful to have known such wonderful people.

I hope everything in your lives is going well and I will continue to always want the best for you. Thank you for walking into my life and for making my childhood even better.

Love,
The One Who Still Thinks About You

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.
