To My Best Friend At Another School

Near or far you are my person.

To My Best Friend At Another School
Courtney Staples

Princess Jess,

We met at the end of the first semester of freshman year and I had no clue that you knew who I was. As the days went on, we became better friends who soon turned into best friends that then resulted in an unbreakable bond that I call sisters. You've seen me through all of my rough times and all of my good days, you've shown unconditional love for me and my family, and you've gone above and beyond the call of a best friend.

While we aren't at the same school anymore and we haven't been for some time now, it doesn't mean it is any easier knowing there are other people begin able to hug you and stay up until midnight listening to Britney Spears with you. But while my selfish heart misses you and wants you all to myself, the other side of me has never been more amazed by you and your heart for others.

As I sit off to the side and watch the Lord work in your life from afar, I can absolutely say that I can see his hand in everything you are doing. I don't think there has ever been a time where I have worried about your decisions or the group of people you hang out with. You've become part of a sorority that treats you like the princess you are, your amazing boyfriend can finally take you on all those cute dates we would talk about because he's actually there with you now, and you just seem to be in your element.

Even though we live two very different lives and we don't talk much, I am very privileged to be able to know you and call you my best friend, my partner in crime, my other half, and my sister. You will never know the impact you have had on my heart and my life. I just hope one day I can show you just how much you mean to me.

Going into this week, I pray that you always know who you are and who's you are. You're a child of the King of Kings and He has never left your side. You're a strong, independent woman that has already impacted so many lives for the glory of God and I can't wait to continue to see that unfold. I love you and I am so proud of your heart for others.

Always remember I'm just a text or phone call away.

You'll forever be my person,

Court <3

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.
