An Open Letter To The Boy I Will Always Remember

Who else would spray a can of silly string and try to light it on fire with me?

An Open Letter To The Boy I Will Always Remember

Hey there,

I have so much to say to you, but absolutely nothing to say at the same time. I mean how can I put into words what you mean to me and what all we’ve been through? You’re my best friend, but you’re also the boy I’ve had a (not so) secret crush on for the past 3 years.

From the very start of our friendship, everyone told us that we needed to date. Of course being the awkward youngins we were, we thought that idea was absurd. If only we knew what our friendship would become. We were never an “official item,” but everyone knew we were the school's power couple. We were the epitome of relationship goals. Of course, this was when you weren’t going after other girls, but we won’t dwell on your mistakes. I’m just glad you knew that I would still be there waiting for you, even when you may have ignored me for them. Again, let’s not dwell on your mistakes.

They say if you have a crush on someone for more than 4 months, then you’ve already fallen in love with that person. I would have to agree with them. I always thought that meant you were supposed to imagine yourself with them and a white picket fence, but I realized there are so many different ways to feel love. I love you because you are the person I know I can always talk to. I love you because you are the one that can always make me happy no matter what. I love you because you know everything there is to know about me. I love you because I know when I’m with you, I won’t be judged. I love you because you are the best friend I could possibly ask for.

Through all of my ups and downs, you have always been the one I can count on. I know I will always be able to count on you, even if we haven’t talked in years. I’m sure there will come a day when you find a girl that will replace me in your life, and I’ll be fine with that because I will always be happy as long as you’re happy.

I guess I should conclude this with apologizing for my abundance of emotions, but I think I had some things to tell you that I don’t know if I could in person. I hope this doesn’t scare you too much.

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.
