Yes, My Boyfriend Is My Very Best Friend

Sorry, not sorry.

Yes, my boyfriend is actually my best friend. And no, I will not apologize for that. Now don't get me wrong, it is definitely important to have friends other than your boyfriend. I do not think you should drop all of your friends for a guy, but I do think it is okay for him to be your best friend.

My boyfriend is the one person that I know I can always count on. I have never had a gal pal, or any other friend, that has been there for me like he has. No girl can ever compare to my man. Believe me, I love my gal pals and they give me a different type of friendship, but they do not give me the best friendship that I get from my boyfriend.

It's just different with him.

My other half knows me like nobody else does. He has seen all sides of me. He still loves me and doesn't judge me for things that girls always have judged me for. He lets me cry and scream. He loves when I am happy. He always tells me the truth, even if it hurts. He is sincere about the truth when it does hurt though. He always encourages me. He makes me want to be a better person and he always holds me accountable for my actions. He even lets me borrow his clothes, like all of the time. These are all qualities that I look for in a best friend and they are qualities that I have only found in my boyfriend.

People may argue that your significant other should not be your best friend because they may break up with you. But I guess those people don't realize that friends can and will leave you too. I have had more friends hurt me just in the time that my boyfriend and I have been dating. So the whole "he's going to break up with you" crap just doesn't phase me. Anybody that you let into your life has the ability to hurt you.

Hopefully, I don't lose my boyfriend because he is all I want, need, and more. But if I do, I know that I can still survive on my own. I still have other friends, too. The key to having your boyfriend as your best friend is simple; just don't make him your whole entire world. Don't lose your friends because of him. Have friends that aren't his. It is really that simple.

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.
