Dear best friend, I never want to lose you.

They say that losing a best friend is more painful than losing a romantic relationship, and I never want to go through that with you.

Dear best friend, I never want to lose you.

Dear Best Friend,

Although we have only known each other for a few months, I have never had a friendship like ours. 3 months ago, I had lost myself and all hope of being genuinely happy, but then you entered my life. You rescued me when I needed it the most and I will forever be thankful for you. You radiate the most wholesome energy, and you encourage me to be the best version of myself every single day. You recognize when I need some help, and you reach out and support me in every way possible. But most importantly, you let me be myself and you still love me for it.

Throughout my life, I have had several people whom I viewed as best friends. In each of these relationships, I pour all over myself into them, and I never got that In return. I never was enough for these best friends and in the end, they ended up leaving me behind with no consideration of my feelings. And because of these past relationships, I am scared that I am going to lose you. I am scared that I am going to lose the person that I feel the most comfortable around, the person I want to tell every little thing to, and the person who I can't stand being without.

However, I will not let these fears ruin what we have. I have to remind myself regularly that I will not lose you because you are not like my past best friends, you are my current best friend who loves me for me. You are the best friend that I want to be the first person to call when I get engaged, you are the best friend who I want standing beside me at the alter, you are the best friend who I want to be the aunt to my children, and you are the best friend I want to grow old with. No matter how close or far apart, you will remain in my life because without you I would not be who I am today.

So thank you best friend, for remding me that it's okay to be 100% myself because someone out there loves who I am.

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.

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.
