To The Best Friend I Never Saw Coming

I never expected to meet someone like you. Someone who made my average life bright and beautiful. This is not a love letter (well, it kinda is). This is a letter to my very best friend. The best friend I could ever ask for in this world. The girl who keeps me laughing and makes me want to be a better person.

You never realize what you're missing until you meet your person. But then one day you have her, and you find yourself laughing at the little things and annoying everyone around you. You and I are everyone's "BFF goals" because, well, let's face it. We are the perfect pair. This is a note to you. This is a thank you for giving me the comfort of knowing I have a friend for life.

I would not survive any pain without you by my side, and have no idea how I ever did before. Meeting you was a blessing. To think if we had picked different schools that I wouldn't have met you is impossible. I cannot remember life without you in it, and I don't want to ever know what it would be like. I can never stress it enough. I love everything about you.

I'm baffled how people still think that homosexuality is a choice, because we all know if it was that you and I would be a couple. I mean, we do all the couple things. My favorite thing in the world is our weekly ice cream dates, when we sit on the bench and talk about everything in the world. You're there to hold my hand through it all, and you make life so fun. I strongly believe we will die peacefully, together, probably cuddling like in the end of The Notebook.

I think of you when I hear happy love songs. Seriously. Not boys. Just you. We will always be young at heart, frolicking around in the grass and singing "Trap Queen" at the top of our lungs. We will be quoting SpongeBob in the nursing home and getting noise complaints from the cranky old man down the hall. It's not our fault we enjoy blasting "Shake It Off" at the highest volume possible. We will continue overusing jokes that are literally not in the slightest bit funny and cry from laughter. We will never stop quoting School of Rock or binge watching "America's Next Top Model."

Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for bringing out my strength when I feel that I have none. I'll never thank you enough. I love you.

Love,

Your Best Pal

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.
