Dear Best Friend,

I wish I had the right words to tell you how horrible I still feel about everything that has happened between us. I do wish I could turn back time, so I could stop myself from hurting you. You were my pride and joy, and I cannot imagine what my life would have been like if you never came into my life. I will always cherish our friendship and the memories we made together. I'm always proud of everything you accomplished, and I will always cheer you on. You really were the best thing that has ever happened to me. I just made a mistake that was beyond stupid, and I wish I could take it all back.

I know that every time you see me now, you think of all the memories that you would like more than ever to forget. I would like you to know that you did not deserve what I did to you at all. You are such an amazing person, inside and out, and you deserve so much better. I still cry myself to sleep every night because of what happened because I hate to see you hurting. Every time I see a picture of the two of us, I can't help but cry because I would give up the world to see you happy again. I took advantage of our friendship just because you were the first person to tell me that I was not what everyone else said I was, and that I was so much more than what others label me as. That was the worst thing I could possibly do to someone I care about. I just wish there was some way I could be able to help you get through this. I want you to heal, and I don't want you to suffer anymore. I want you to know that there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel.

I also understand the damage that has been done, and I do expect to be forgiven for what happened, as much as I want you to. You are not obligated to forgive me for any reason because this took a serious toll on our friendship, and I can see the damage that has been done. But I will let you know that I am trying my hardest to do better. I cannot let what has happened to us happen to someone else I become friends with, and I want to show you that I changed. I want to show you that I really want your trust back more than anything, and I'm trying my hardest to earn that. No one could ever have the same impact on me like you have, and I want to show you that I'm still worth it.

With love,

Your (best) friend that's trying to do better

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.
