Dear Best Friend

Dear Best Friend
Buzz 16

I believe I have found my soulmate a very long time ago- ten years ago to be exact. People assume that your soulmate must always be your significant other, which I believe doesn't necessarily have to be true.

My soulmate for that matter, is my best friend. My one and only. The person who has been by my side since day one and will be there through many more.

I don't even know where to start to express my gratitude for you. I love words more than anything, and yet thinking about how much you mean to me, leaves me speechless.

I wouldn't be who I am today, without you in my life. I know it might seem, that I take you and everything you have done for me for granted, but don't even for a second think it goes unnoticed.

So here is my attempt, to thank you. For being my best friend. For being you. For being everything I could ever ask for.

1. Thank you for constantly putting a smile on my face, even on days when I don't feel like smiling at all.

2. Thank you for turning every moment into something extraordinary and special.

3. Thank you for inspiring me daily.

4. Thank you for knowing exactly when I need my space and alone time.

5. Thank you for being patient with me even though there are days when I am driving you insane.

6. Thank you for loving chocolate as much as I do.

7. Thank you for being spontaneous and for always going on new adventures with me.

8. Thank you for every single Sunday with you.

9.Thank you for clearing your schedule, just to drink coffee and listen to me complain (which doesn't happen too often, but still).

10. Thank you for constantly keeping me up to date about the newest styles and trends.

11. On that note, thank you for always being honest about the outfits I am wearing,

12. Thank you for being as crazy as I am.

13. Thank you for all the little things you do for me (Like picking me up from the train station, bringing me coffee to work...)

14. Thank you for loving me unconditionally.

15. Thank you for supporting me and all my decisions - no matter how stupid they are sometimes.

16. Thank you for believing in me.

17. Thank you for sharing the same sense of humor.

18. Thank you for letting me feel like a part of your family (Paul and Ursula - I love you)

19. Thank you for making memories with me that will last a lifetime.

20. But most of all, thank you for being my person, my best friend, my ride or die, the person I can always count on, no matter what.

I love you.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
