A Thank You To My Brother From Another Mother

You're the guy that all of my boyfriends will always have to meet and deal with that fact that my best friend is a guy.

A Thank You To My Brother From Another Mother
Taylor Milano

Dear Best Friend,

Thank you for being the greatest guy in the whole world. You are the one that I always come to for advice to get that "guy perspective" and you are always honest with me, no matter how upset it may make me in that moment. I know that you just want what's best for me.

Thank you for always being a shoulder to cry on. You know exactly what to do and say when I'm feeling anything but happy. You get me. You get me in a way that none of my girlfriends will ever get. We have a different bond, a special bond, that I am so unbelievably grateful for and will never let go of.

You're the guy that all of my boyfriends will always have to meet and deal with that fact that my best friend is a guy. The same goes for me with your girlfriends. They all better get used to me being a constant because I'm not going anywhere, no matter how jealous some of them may be. Don't worry, I'll always put them in their place, and I know you'll do the same for my boyfriends.

I know I can drive you crazy. I know I tend to come to you with the same problems and same situations, just with different players. I know that you'll tell me the same thing every time, but the truth is, I just need to always hear your words of wisdom and encouragement. It could be a simple "you deserve better," and it could speak volumes to me. Those three words coming from you mean the world to me because I know it's genuine.

That being said, thank you for being by my side since the day you were born. Being your best friend since birth has some responsibility to come with it, and I'm so glad that you're the one the universe paired me with. You bring nothing but light and positivity into my life, even when I feel like I am at my darkest, I always have you.

I am extremely blessed to have you as a best friend. I don't get to see you as much as I would like, but you are always there for me no matter the distance. Thank you for always being there for late night FaceTime calls when I'm having a mental breakdown, and for always being there to make me laugh. I seriously don't know how I got so lucky with you.

Thank you for being not just a best friend to me, but a brother. I can trust you with anything and everything. You deal with me, and that's enough for you to deserve an entire article dedicated to you. Thanks for being awesome, and for being you.


Love always,

Your Best Friend

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.
