A Thank You Letter To My Boyfriend

Thank you for being my person.

A Thank You Letter To My Boyfriend
Kaylee Collier

Hey babe,

I feel weird referring to you as my boyfriend, because you are so much more than that. The word "boyfriend" implies that you're just someone I plan on being with for a short amount of time and then moving on, which is just not the case. You are my sidekick, my late-night Netflix binge partner, my dinner date and my rock.


That doesn't mean all of that cliche teenage angst BS that "I can never live without you," or "I don't know who I am without you." It means that yes, I can be happy by myself, but that happiness is multiplied by about a million because I have you.

You are always the first person I want to tell things to; you're one person on this Earth that I can completely bare my soul to without worrying about what you'll think. You are slowly helping me break down these walls that I thought I needed to build long ago, and I thank you for it. You have been my saving grace when it comes to my mental health, and I honestly don't know what kind of shape I'd be in without you. I know that no matter what, you want me to be happy and successful, so you'll do anything to help me get there. I hope you know that I'd do the same for you.


Please know that I'd do anything to help you, no matter the situation. Need some medicine and soup when you're sick? I'll be there in 10. Want help studying for a huge test? I'm on my way with notecards and snacks. Need to go on the run and get out of the country fast after blowing up the bathroom at WalMart? Mexico awaits, just let me grab my passport and some extra toilet paper.

Obviously that last one was a joke; they'd be expecting us to run to Mexico. But please don't underestimate the lengths I would go to for you. I think you already know that, though.

The fact is, you are my person. You are the one I instantly feel calm when I'm around. No matter how bad a situation is, whether we're waiting in the ER to see if my nose is broken or just waiting for pizza, I know everything is going to be alright because you are there. I'm at the point in my life when home is no longer a place, but a person: You.

Thank you, from the tips of my toes to the strands of my hair that I shed all over your clothes when I give you a hug. Thank you for putting up with my unyieldingly whirly mind when I can't sleep, for being the one who's always down for a Taco Bell run, for watching Golden Girls with me for hours on end, for not judging me when my farts smell worse than yours, and for being my human anti-depressant. You are the best person God ever could have paired me with, and I really couldn't imagine anyone better.

Love,

Your Person

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.
