Your Sorry Means Nothing To Me

Save your breath.

Your Sorry Means Nothing To Me
CBSNews

You can say sorry until you're blue in the face, and it will always mean nothing.

I will never be able to figure out why you hurt me the way you did. Why you claimed to love someone you wanted as nothing more than your personal human punching bag. Someone who would take your terrifying screams to the face, your snide remarks, your complete disregard for basic human respect, and still stand strong and smile back at you. I will never be able to figure out why the years of love, effort, support, and care was never reciprocated back. I will never be able to understand how a human being can go so cold so young. But you are living, breathing proof.

After all your hateful, malicious actions, you stood there looking down on me with your pathetic soft smile, and said..."Sorry". As if the "sorry" would wash away the tears. As if "sorry" could take the panic attack back, wipe away the bruises, and give me back the time wasted. As if "sorry", was any type of excuse for your mistreatment of the girl you claimed to love.

The BEST part, was when you tried to say it was all out of love. That was the greatest. You truly believed that your abuse was BENEFITING me in some sick and twisted way. Your cruelty DID NOT help me. It broke me down. It made me vulnerable. It made me believe I was unlovable. And when you realized these aftereffects you scarred into me, you looked down on me with your pathetic soft smile, and said... "Sorry."

No matter how many times you try to say it, your sorry will never mean anything. Your actions are unforgivable. I will never respect you again. I will never accept the way you treated me. I will never give you another sad excuse. You destroyed me. I wish I could say that your actions didn't phase me, but after four years of being nothing but beaten down. You won. Any trace of the girl I used to be is completely gone now, but for that, I thank you.

The person I was with you is one I never want to be again. I will never let another treat me as if they can control me. I will never again feel worthless. I will never again confuse hate for love. Thank you for making me realize that. Thank you for being so completely, unbearably terrible to me, that being treated right now feels like gold. Because of you, I now value my freedom. I value those who truly love and appreciate me. And Boy, trust me...I will never be abused again.

So your sorry never has and never will mean anything to me. You aren't sorry, but I am so sorry for you.

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.
