An open letter to my best friend in Heaven

Be the things you loved most about the people who are now gone.

An open letter to my best friend in Heaven

There will never be any words to describe the feeling every one of your friends and family are feeling. You were so loved and always will be. The impact you made on everyone will never be forgotten. Your loving, caring, VERY spontaneous, hard-working, and goofy personality will live on forever. The best advice giver and the best listener. There's just so many words to describe you. You taught me so much and you deserved so much in life.

The memories I shared with you are ones I will treasure forever. I will never forget how excited you were when you went with us to your first concert. I will forever miss your random calls and our lunch dates. Thank you for being a real friend. Thank you for being you. When you lose someone life just doesn't simply go on. It's hard to have to do life without you. It will never be easy to understand the reason for this and maybe we're not suppose to. Everyday I wish you were physically here with us but I know God had a better plan for you.

I like to believe that everything happens for a reason but that's been hard to believe here lately. I want to be so upset and angry but I know that's not what you want. You always made sure your friends were doing okay and always checked in on them. You were so selfless. Your light and loving heart will live on in so many people you impacted. I promise your legacy will live on always. Oh, the love you had for everyone around you and especially your family.

I know life will never be the same, but we are all blessed to have you as an angel watching over us all. I know you're up there watching down and keeping us all safe. I will always watch sunsets and think of you. I can't wait for the day I get to see my best friend again.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

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.
