To My Best Friend Who Never Left My Side

Through all these years, I am surprised you didn't get tired of me. But, I am so glad you didn't.

To My Best Friend Who Never Left My Side
Macie Crane

I do not know how you've done it. I don't know how you've been in my life this long and you've actually stuck around. You haven't replaced me; you have never gone astray. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you for never leaving me.

We have been best friends for as long as I can remember, through elementary school, middle school, and high school. There was no point in all of those years that I doubted our friendship. Yes, we have had our fair share of disagreements. And by fair share, I mean, A LOT. But, you are just one of those couple of people that I can be mad at one second, then the very next second, forget what we were even fighting over.

You know all there is to know about me, including all of the bad. You know about my wrongdoings, my embarrassing stories and my lowest points; you've lived most of them out with me. Yet knowing all of this, you do not view me any differently; I am still your best friend. You always give your opinion on my life choices, whether I want to hear it or not. You encourage me, rather than tear me down.

I actually feel selfish for ever thinking I have been alone. Because, thinking about it now, you have never let me experience the true meaning of loneliness. No matter what happens, I know my best friend will drop anything and everything to be there for me.

You have been right next to me through everything as if I had an extra limb. When my mom was not there, you were there. When my dad was gone, you were there. When my great grandma was in the hospital, you were there; as well as when she passed. When my boyfriend and I broke up, you were there. Through all the heartache I have endured, you've been my shoulder to cry on, literally.

I do not know what I did to deserve someone like you to come into my life. All I know is that I am forever grateful that the good Lord blessed me with you as my best friend. I don't quite tell you enough how much you mean to me, so I hope you see it now. I love you so much. Thank you for never leaving my side.

XO and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin

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.
