To The Ones Who Are Waiting

We all have a loved one waiting for us, and I hope we can all have the chance to meet them again.

To The Ones Who Are Waiting
Molly Butler

Dear Loved One,

Whether you have passed years, months, or weeks ago I hope you know you are always on my mind. I don't think I'll ever lose the pit I have in my stomach when I think about you being gone. I'm not sure where you're waiting, or how I'm going to get there but, I'll always have faith that when the time is right, we'll meet again.

Losing you was something so difficult for my young mind to grasp. It's not fair that you had to leave before I was even able to decipher the meaning of death. Trying to understand something so gaping is like driving into a thick fog and trying to find your way out. Death is complicated, it's sticky, and for lack of a better word, death sucks. It sucks that the people you love, have to eventually leave this world but, you should always have faith that you'll meet again.

It's hard to think that one day you were full of life and the next you were gone. I know you fought for every moment you spent with that and I could not thank you enough for that. I'll never shake the feeling of actually realizing you are permanently no longer here with me but I find peace in the fact that you are free from pain. I know you're waiting, and I know that when the time comes I will feel whole again. I hope you're happy, I hope you're free from pain, and I hope you know you're missed.

Love,

Your Loved One

We all have a loved one waiting for us, and I hope we can all have the chance to meet them again.

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.
