Love, a never-ending war

Whenever he is around, sparks are flying. There is a strong connection between the two of you. You have deep, sentimental feelings for him, but you are unsure if he feels similar to you. He seems to care about you much differently than everyone else. His eyes glow, and his smile lights up the room. His kind, generous heart gives you an endless sensation of butterflies. There are so many traits about him that make him different from the others, and the amount of similar ideas you share is ironic. You spend much quality time together so, that sometimes you forget what is actually going on in the world around you. The bond you two share is much different compared to other companions. If all of this seems true, then why must he not see the world as you see him? Why is he falling for someone else?

The pain your heart feels whenever he talks about her, the stabbing, uncontrollable pain. It breaks your heart to hear those words, what he could be saying about you. To him, she is different. She is what he needs. In your eyes, she is just another girl who has cast a spell on him. She does not know him as well as you do, and this realization breaks your heart. The way he feels for her, you will never know how it feels to be loved like that. He is falling for her, and your heart is breaking more and more. He does not see the pain in your eyes, but he does see the light shining through hers. You want to give up, and you want to lose all hope that you two are meant to be, but something keeps bringing you back to him. 

You should not have to give up this easily. If life was this simple, then he would already be in your arms. Love, it is a never-ending war. You have to fight for what you want. You have to make sacrifices in order to achieve it. Do not give up just yet. Good things will come. He is the one for you, whether either of you realize it yet or not. Be patient, the time will come.

The Life of a Showgirl: When Taylor Swift Lets the Spotlight Dim

While it’s no surprise that we’re big Taylor Swift fans in this household, something about this newest album release felt different. On the eve of the drop, anticipation ran high. Some of us drifted off to sleep with visions of glitter, feathers, and showgirls twirling in our minds. Others fueled up on caffeine, determined to stay awake until the clock struck twelve. And when it did—on October 3—we were ready for it. But this time, I chose sleep. The next morning, headphones in hand, I pressed play as soon as I woke up—and almost immediately, I felt something shift. Taylor’s music has always been deeply relatable—that’s never been in question. The Life of a Showgirl follows the forever-endearing The Tortured Poets Department, an album I adored with every ounce of my being. That record proved what so many of us already knew: Taylor is a poet at large. Naturally, expectations for this new album were sky-high. The Life of a Showgirl promised to peel back the curtain—to reveal life beyond ...

Wicked Part One: A Film That Leaves You Changed "For Good"

 I was 17, on a flight to the Bahamas for a family vacation, when I first listened to the Wicked Broadway soundtrack. Staring out the window at the endless clouds, I felt like I was soaring right alongside Elphaba as she defied gravity. That music stayed with me, becoming a soundtrack to a summer I’ll never forget. Years later, sitting in the audience at Playhouse Square, I watched the story come to life on stage, and it changed me “for good.” So, when the movie finally came out, I walked into the theater with high hopes—and let me tell you, I was utterly blown away. Wicked: Part 1 was released in November 2024, directed by Jon M. Chu, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. It’s a fantasy musical adaptation of the Broadway hit and novel by Gregory Maguire. It starts with celebrating the Wicked Witch of the West’s downfall after melting and perishing to her doom. Although all seems fine and celebratory in the Land of Oz, we later learn that the Wicked Witch, ...
