Thank you for being extraordinary

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Tidbits and Fiddlywinks

To my person,

First off let me say that you inspire me to be the best I can be. I will always wonder what I did to deserve someone as amazing as you. The busy lives we lead make it so we aren't the best at communicating, but when we do talk it's like we never left off. I want you to know how much I appreciate you in my life because I don't always get to tell you.

I've never had a friend who gets me like you do. I just love the fact that we never run out of things to say. I can tell you literally anything in the world and you just get me. You always seem to know things about my life before they even happen. Especially when it comes to boy stories (or literally anything else), it blows my mind to this day how brilliant your psychic ways are.

I hate not getting to see you whenever I want, oh I hate it so dearly. I wish we went to the same school so we could live together and make all these memories together. It takes a special kind of friendship to last a distance of thousands of miles. Let me tell you, not everyone is cut out for it. But it's super cool to see how we don't have to be in the same city or even state to stay besties, and when we do see each other our time together is so much more special. We're in different states tackling this whole adulthood thing and following our dreams together and I love getting to hear all about it. I hate the distance but I'm so darn proud of who we're becoming, our friendship stands the test of distance indeed.

I love that we have different opinions and that we can discuss them and respect each other. I love that we can share our ideas and plans for the future with each other all the time. I love that you love burgers and hate salads (whereas I love salad and hate burgers), and how we'll always share a love for coffee and ice cream. I love that we are navigating this thing called adulthood together and we'll always have each other's backs.

Thank you for being there for me, for listening to all my nonsense, and giving me your honest advice even when you know I won't like it. Thanks for keeping it real. You tell it like it is and that's one of the reasons I love you so much. Thank you for spontaneous FaceTime dates and dance parties, and for listening to my random conspiracies that come from out of nowhere. Thanks for sticking by my side no matter what, because I know my life can be a little dramatic sometimes. I have no idea how I would make it through life without you.I want you to know that I think you are amazing.

I really scored in the best friend department. Distance has got nothing on us.

Love,

Your person

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.
