To The Girl He Had Before Me

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Colossians 3:12-13

Dear Girl He Had Before Me,

I don't know much about you except for your name. I've seen a few pictures of the two of you together. You should know I don't talk badly of you. Actually, I think you are very pretty, and I know he thought the same. I'm not the kind of girl who finds threat in an ex because all of that played out before me.

I do not have bitter feelings towards you, and I apologize if for any reason you have bitter feelings towards me. You are not being forgotten. You were a part of his life, even if it was for a short amount of time. I'm sure he has good memories of y'all together. I'm not trying to take those away from either of you. At one time, you were both happy, and that in itself makes me smile. He deserves to be happy, and you do too. I'm not so sure how everything fell apart, but I'm sorry that it did. Breakups are never an easy thing to go through.

Please have enough confidence and respect for yourself to not compare me and you. I know I am guilty of that, sometimes, and it isn't always the best feeling. Know you are good enough. I hope the next guy you date works out. I hope he treats you with the absolute upmost respect. I hope he makes you happier than you ever thought possible, and strengthens your walk with God, because you deserve good things. I hope you are mature enough to speak kindly of your ex. He really is an amazing guy (which I'm sure you experienced first hand). Understand that the same kind words have, and will be, spoken of you from him and me.

The main thing I wanted to get across with this letter is that I don't want us to dislike each other just because we have both fallen for the same guy. I know you had him first, and I'm glad you did, because I know y'all's relationship taught him many things. You helped mold him into the person he is today, and I want to thank you for that. I hope you carry nothing but positive thoughts away from y'all's past.

I will be praying for you. I pray that you will have a life full of happiness, adventures, success, and love. I pray you will be surrounded by amazing family and friends, and I pray that you won't let heartbreak get you down, but make you stronger, and even more determined to find your one.

I wish you all the best,
The girl he has now.

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.
