11 Reasons Why Having A Best Friend Is So Amazing

Going through life, we all go through different things and experience different things but as we go through these things, most of us have a best friend that remains by our side to laugh with us, cry with us, share memories with us, and so much more. It is these things that make them so much more amazing.

1. They will always be there

When you feel defeated, alone, or just having a rough day, your best friend will be there no matter what.

2. No words have to be spoken

When you and your best friend are spending time together, words don't always have to be spoken. You can sit in silence comfortably with one another.

3. Distance can't ruin the friendship

No matter where life takes you, distance cannot come between you and your best friend. Even if you're 200 miles apart or 3,000 miles apart, you will still remain friends.

4. Laugh until your stomach hurts

On a bad day, or even a great day, your best friend can make you laugh so hard it will feel like you're developing a six-pack.

5. Great memories

No matter how long you have been friends or remain friends, you can share great memories that will last a lifetime.

6. Spontaneous adventures

When it's on a boring, rainy day, or you just need out of the house, your best friend is someone that will always be willing to take spontaneous adventures with you. Whether it is to the local Wal-Mart or to go see a random movie.

7. Embarrassing moments

No matter how much fun you guys have, there will always be those embarrassing moments that you guys can look back on and laugh about.

8. Happy tears and sad tears

During the course of your friendship, you guys will experience sad tears and happy tears, which will make you cherish your best friend even more.

9. Summer nights

Every friendship has their favorite memories and most of them go back to those nights during the summer when you're out of school and you stay up all night and sleep all day.

10. Friends are family

Friends become part of our family, making us even more grateful for the friendship that we have.

11. Good times and bad times

We all experience bad things and good things and it is always our best friend's that are around during these times. They experience the good and the bad with us, and they never leave.

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.

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.
