To The Guy I Didn't Expect To Love

They’re out in the open again in hopes to be taken care of. I didn’t expect you.

To The Guy I Didn't Expect To Love

I love you. Three little words that hold some one’s heart. I do not give these words out lightly. They are carefully given out to the ones who are dear to me…you are one of those people. We’ve dated other people, carry baggage from the past, and have emotional scars that may bound us at first. You were unexpected and my heart didn’t think it could handle another break or even the chance of one. I took that chance with you because my heart knew something my mind couldn’t fathom at the time. The emotions came running fast the moment I saw the real you.

The ‘you’ that people couldn’t see from the outside. The ‘you’ that gave me the courage to use those three little words and have faith that I wouldn’t be broken again. I want you to know that my love is true and loyal. I have seen the best and worst sides of you and still continue to fall more in love with you each day. I wish I could have seen this side of you sooner but I know that the exact moment we met, the exact moment we ran into each other after all these years was the moment I was meant to love you. All of the heartbreaks before you were preparing me for this…for you. I do not see our baggage as mistakes, I see them as stepping stones that lead me to that exact moment we locked eyes and realized this was something to pursue. Insecurities will come around and that’s okay. It’s a small sign that we’re falling in love, we’re becoming vulnerable because our hearts are back on our sleeves.

They’re out in the open again in hopes to be taken care of. I didn’t expect you. I didn’t expect to love you as passionately as I do. Years ago I would have laughed off the idea because I didn’t know the man you would become. The man that went through hell and back to be the man I need today. I believe in fate and destiny and that everything good, bad, and ugly in life happens for a greater purpose. You are what all of the heartbreaks prepared me for. You’re the one. Although those three little but powerful words may not always assure you, just know I do not take them lightly. My heart chose you. I love you. Three little words that hold my heart.

Sincerely,

Your Loving Girlfriend

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.
