To The Person I Couldn't Love Enough

We do not control whom we fall in and out of love with.

This is an open letter to the guy I couldn’t love enough,

I am not sure if you will ever see this, but if you somehow do, then just know I am sorry. I didn’t mean for what happened to happen.

I am sorry that I could not love you as much as you needed and as much as you loved me. I did not mean to hurt you but I didn’t want to hurt myself either.

I could say the typical “it wasn’t you, it was me” and not mean that but it truly was me. It was not intentional at all. I didn’t purposely hurt you. Neither of us did anything wrong. It was just wrong timing. All feeling was lost and relationships are supposed to be mutual, not one-sided. And in our case, it was very one-sided.

ONE-SIDED RELATIONSHIPS ARE TOXIC.

That is all there is about it. Once you have lost feelings for someone, they typically do not return.

You’re the first guy I felt something real for, so thanks for showing me how it feels to be loved. I hope I showed you how you should be loved, too.

YOU’LL FIND SOMEONE

I believe everyone has a soul mate in life and I’m sorry I wasn’t yours. You will find that person that loves you just as much as you love them. It’ll be a mutual and therefore epic love.

Don’t blame yourself and certainly do not change because of what happened. Again, you will find someone that loves you as much as you loved me, if not more. They will love how awkward you are. They’ll love how quiet you are and how nervous you are when you meet his or her dad for the first time. They will love you for all the small things.

LOVE IS COMPLICATED

We do not control who we fall in and out of love with. That is the worst thing about love. It is unpredictable, which can be a blessing and a curse. Love is the most complicated thing we will ever have to deal with in life.

Best regards,

Mackenzey

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.
