Boyfriends Can Be Best Friends, Too

Spending time with your boyfriend shouldn't be a crime.

Boyfriends Can Be Best Friends, Too

If you know me then you probably know how much I hang out with my boyfriend. And if you are like me, you understand how frustrating it is for people to constantly remind you how much time you spend with them. Well, let me tell you something. When you honestly enjoy being around your significant other that much, you want to spend time with them. So, what is the problem with that? Some people don't understand why I am with my boyfriend so much.

When I think of a best friend, I think of someone who's kind, funny, honest, caring, and so on. A best friend is someone I enjoy having as company. Some people forget that a significant other can be your best friend - the one you go to for everything, the one you stand by through thick and thin, the one you have the most fun with.

So, I raise this question, why can't I spend time with my best friend? It is not a crime to want to spend so much time with your boyfriend. Why can't I spend time with my boyfriend like you do with your best friend? After all, he is my best friend, as stated before.

My other friends? I didn't forget about them. Nor will I. I spend time with them as normally as friends should. However, my boyfriend is my best friend and chances are I'm going to be with him most of my time. But, I do spend time with my other friends, and I am capable of making time for them and only them. Also, I am capable of doing things without my boyfriend.

So, stop putting people down who actually enjoy being around their significant others so much. If they are truly your best friend, you have the right to spend time with them whenever. You are allowed to be happy.

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.
