A Special Letter to My Internet Best Friend

To My Best Friend,


I started off social media thinking it was going to get me closer to meeting One Direction or Justin Bieber. Boy was I wrong. But, with me creating social media accounts, never did I think I would meet my best friends.

First of all, thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and changing it for the better. I never thought I would meet my best friends through the internet. You're there for me when no one else is and listens to me when I have stupid shit to rant about. There are nearly 8 billion people in the world and meeting you was fate, in my opinion. I've always heard that the internet is full of toxic people, but you? Not even in the slightest. You are the most kind-hearted, caring person I know. Meeting you was an accident, coming together over a similar interest was something I never even knew was possible to happen.

I got the frequent, "What if they're not real?" "They could be fake", but I knew you were real. I'm glad I pushed all those negative comments out of my head and focused on the positives. From inside jokes, to hours of video chatting, I don't think I would trade anything.

My favorite memory was finally meeting you in person. If we're being honest, I was nervous as hell and thought you were going to think I was an annoying person and would just want me to hop on a plane back home. But, seeing you in person and being able to finally hug you was something that I will never take for granted. I don't think people truly understand the means behind an internet friendship if they haven't experienced one themselves. We would talk about meeting in person and when it finally happened, it literally was a dream come true.

I am forever grateful to have you in my life. I don't think I can imagine a life without you in it, you seriously have helped me grow into a better person, been there through some tough times, and I cannot thank you enough for caring about me and being there for me when I need someone the most. I know our friendship is something that'll last a lifetime, and I hope it does, because I seriously cannot picture a life without you in it.

Keep doing you. Keep shining. Keep being your beautiful self. You are perfect just the way you are.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend.

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.
