10 Things That Are True When You Have Been Friends Your Entire Life

Everyone has those couple of people that have always been around. In fact, after quite some time, you start to think of them as just a part of who you are. They've been there through your highest highs and lowest lows. They are the people you laugh with and the shoulders you cry on. Anybody who has been friends with someone for most, if not all of, their life, knows these things to be true.

1. Boundaries cease to exist

It doesn't matter how weird your thoughts are, if you have been friends with someone long enough, you'll say it out loud.

2. You aren't afraid to hurt their feelings


If they are wearing something atrocious or they have the largest zit on their face that you've ever seen, you can tell them without worrying that your relationship will consequently implode.

3. Their family is your family

I have seriously walked into my friend's house and just made a sandwich in front of her parents, and they didn't even say a word about it.

4. They laugh at all of your jokes

They even laugh at your really bad puns...and then proceed to make fun of you.

5. You stop each other from making really bad decisions

Are you thinking about texting your ex? Do you really think it's a good idea to go on a juice cleanse? Think again.

6. But sometimes you mislead each other into bad decisions by accident

Fun fact, most bad decisions occur after the sentence: "Hold my drink, and watch this."

7. Talking to them always makes you feel better

When it comes to texting my best friends, I always feel like the clingiest girlfriend ever.

8. When it comes to their dating life, you can be 100% honest

If you don't like who they're dating and think they can do better, you can absolutely tell them.

9. And you are totally straight forward with anyone they do date

In fact, the first thing you tell your friend's new bf/gf is that you will end them if they hurt her.

10. They will always be the people that you can count on the most

Even though you may not see your OG besties all the time, it doesn't matter. They will always be there for you no matter what.

Shout out to my childhood friends Rachel and Taylor...I love you guys!

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.
