To The Person Who Hurt Me And Lost Me

When someone hurts you there comes a time when you have to step away and move on

Have you ever been hurt by a person so many times that you eventually got used to it? You kept giving that person a chance and they continued to hurt you, lie to you, manipulate you, and make you feel like you don't deserve better. You don't really see how much that person hurt you and others around you until you step away. Maybe you try to step away and it almost seems impossible because that person threatens and manipulates you and the people around you to prevent you from leaving. They don't want you to leave because they care about you, they do it so they can continue to use you. It takes a lot to move on and that person is never really completely out of your life, but moving on to people who treat you right is worth all of the hurt.

Life goes on. People in life come and go, they may make a positive or negative impact but what matters is that you move on, live, and learn. Moving on is always hard at first. Even though you were hurt by someone multiple times, they may or may not have played a big role in your life and leaving them is not easy but it's for the best. Don't think of ways to get back or to get even. Become successful, become happy, and learn from the hurt. Karma always comes back to the people who deserve it and sooner or later they will realize who and what they lost. Find people who pick up your broken pieces, put them back together, and show you how you deserve to be treated. Whether the person who hurt you is a boyfriend/girlfriend, friend, parent, coach, or director moving on is the first and most important step to not letting that person continue to hurt and control you.

Thank you to the person who hurt me so many times I got used to the pain. If it weren't for you, I never would have realized how terrible of a person you are. I never would have left and found the people in my life today who show me how I should have been treated all along. Thank You for showing others who you really are so I didn't have too. Most importantly, thank you for treating me in a way I will never let anyone else treat me again.

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.
