An Open Letter To My Guy Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,

Today I write this letter to you in thanks for blindingly giving me the world. Even without intentions, you have proven to me the expectations I should have for a real man - somebody with a kind, warm-hearted, loving, and passionate personality that will love me for everything I am and everything I have yet to be, unconditionally.

Since the day I met you, I knew we were nothing less than two peas in a pod. Your wild sense of humor and crazy-funny thoughts have had me laughing ever since. From joking about some of the most ridiculous topics that make absolutely zero sense to super silly things that have us peeing our pants, I have never felt more comfortable with anyone else.

I look at your family like my very own. I can call your mom "Mom" and (maybe) your dad "Dad". You guys have made me feel nothing but special, giving me more than I could ever ask for, making me feel so blessed to have such amazing people in my life. I can only pray that God will help me find a man as great as you with a family as good as yours one day.

Even when you're a hundred miles away, you always know how to make me smile. Your FaceTime calls, snapchats, and text messages are always quick therapy whenever I'm not having the best day. You make me feel safe to trust you with my whole life, and with the stupid girl gossip that you know can get me heated every once in awhile. Thank you for always being available to me when I need you most and even when I just want to have a conversation out of boredom, or because I miss you.

From other guys to personal problems, you never walked away from our friendship. Even when those boys were jealous that you and I were so close, I never let them get in the middle of you and I. How could I ever? You have treated me better than every single one of them.

I could sit here and write a book for all of the things I am thankful for with you. To sum it up - thank you for BEING YOU. Thank you for being someone that I can relate to in any given situation. Thank you for taking stupid selfies with me whenever we're together. Thank you for all of your advice even when it's not the best advice, you tried anyways. Thank you for letting my family know that good guys truly do still exist out there in this day and age. Most of all, thank you for opening up my eyes to the beauty of having a true best friend, no matter what the gender. You are so appreciated today and forever, I love you.

"My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me." -Henry Ford

XOXO,

Your (hopefully) Girl 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.
