10 Things That Will Occur After Writing "A Letter To My Ex-Best Friend"

I never knew why this was such a popular topic until I wrote one myself.

Almost every creator of Odyssey has some time in their career written an article titled, "An Open Letter To My Ex-Best Friend." Writing a letter to someone in mind, using specific details, and things only the two of them would know, is just an easy way to grab their attention.

I have read so many of those articles and each was so different... Different friendships, different vibes, and different stories. I never knew why this was such a popular topic until I wrote one myself. But, most readers never get to actually hear about well, what the hell happens next?

How could we just leave our #1 people, (our readers) with an unanswered question? Well, here is what followed:

1. You will get a text from another person who will assume the letter was about them

...When it's not

2. Other old friends might text you saying they regret losing you

Girl, I if only you freakin' realized that many, many months ago we wouldn't be having this conversation

3. The person you wrote about will most likely figure out it was about them

They might text you if they're cool, but they might just become bitter and despise you even more for blasting your friendship.


4. You will experience very awkward texts/emotions

"I miss you, How are you..."

Answering these texts nicely is the right thing to do since you basically just publicized your personal business.


5. You and this person could (for some strange reason) become friends again

Well, there had to be some motivation for writing that article, and it wasn't just for them to read it


6. You will start to feel happy about your friendship

You poured your heart out about the good 'ole times, well here is a second chance

7. Seeing their name on your phone isn't weird anymore

They have now become a friend again, and it brings back all the good times you shared.

8. Other people might hate you or them

This is ok though. This is not their friendship. Get out of here, Brittany.


9. Your other old friends might envy your re-kindled friendship

"Omg, you're friends with her again? How could you..." Just ignore these comments, they're just jealous.


10. You can now focus your articles on your mom, or your ex-boyfriend, or your friend who annoys you...

Now that you got that out of the way, let's focus on something else!

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.
