Dear Childhood Best Friend,

First of all, let's give all the credit here to our awesome parents who thought we would be the best of friends — you were right! Thank you for putting us two unique kids together.

I have been so blessed to have had the same best friend throughout my 18 short years of life, or 17, really. From way before I can remember, we were always together. We have made so many unforgettable memories. From the yearly beach trips, Sunday afternoon playdates, and the all-too-familiar sonic trips. I have been so blessed with having the same person to get through every day with throughout my life.

Thank you for always believing in me. Growing up, you have always been behind me 100 percent. On the other hand, most of the times you encouraged me I was probably doing something I wasn't supposed to be (like chasing you with the four wheeler) but hey — you never learn unless you try, right?

Thank you for being a part of my family, and vice versa. I am forever thankful for the family Easters at your house, the Thanksgiving dinners, and the endless birthday parties. I was always treated like a part of the family, and I am so thankful for that. On the other hand, thank you for being a part of my family! Thank you for taking repetitive beach pictures with me, staying the night so we could play in the snow, and going to family dinners with me because I just wasnt ready for you to go home.

Thank you for being the person everyone gets me confused with. Although I've yet to figure this one, I wouldn't want to be confused with anyone else!

Thank you for being my sidekick! Thank you for being that one person that was always beside me. Everyone knew where there was one of us, the other was close.

Thank you for being my walking closet. I cannot begin to count the clothes I have that are yours, and vice versa. I'm sure they even themselves out respectively.

But most importantly, thank you for still being my best friend! Through all of the ups and downs, you've always been right here! Thank you for still being that person I can call when i need someone. Even when that need is so small, you're always here. Most people don't have the luxury of being able to have the same best friend all of their life, but I'm so glad I do! In fact, you have to be the only person that I let steal my clothes, so you must be pretty special! Thank you for making my life a little bit easier, and a lot more fun!

I will always love you and promise to always be your best friend!

Love,

Your Forever 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.
