An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

Always together, never apart, maybe in distance but never at heart.

Most of us have friends that live in another city, state, or even country. Having a long distance relationship with one of your friends can be tough because you have to work that much harder to keep it thriving. However, if you have friends like mine the extra work is totally worth it.

Dear Long Distance BFF,

I know we both get busy which can make our phone calls and texts few and far between. I want to remind you how much I care about you even if that happens. If you need me, I'm only a text or phone call away. I want you to never forget that. I will NEVER be too busy for you. I might be on a time crunch but I will always be there for you. You mean the world to me and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I want you to know not having you here with me sucks. It is the worst. Most people don't get me like you do, simply because I haven't been friends with them as long. It is hard not having someone to go out to dinner with on a random Tuesday just because we both haven't been to Applebee's in weeks. However, when we are reunited it is the absolute BEST! I love having dates with you to catch up on all the things I have missed. I love giggling about when we used to live in the same area, even if our time together is short, it is my favorite.

I think the best part of our friendship is our ability to pick up right where we left off. I love that even if we haven't seen each other in six months and haven't had a full conversation in three months when we are together, it feels like no time has passed at all. There is something truly special about our ability to go from being normal functioning members of society to being able to finish each others sentences and acting like complete fools with each other in milliseconds.

Thank you for being you. You never let me down and are always there for me. I do not know what I would do without you. Thank you for answering your phone when I am upset about something. Thank you for reading and answering my sporadic texts about something strange things that only you would understand. Thank you for not screenshotting my bizarre Snapchats. Thank you for always listening to my stories about people you have never met. Thank you for always making time for me. Thank you for coming to visit me when we are apart. Thank you for always letting me crash at your house, also.

Love Always,

Your LDBF

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.
