Dear Ex-Best Friend

Life must go on.

Dear Ex-Best friend,

I know you have not heard from me in awhile, and I am sorry about that; life can get in the way sometimes. But not a day goes by where I do not think about you and all of the times we used to have together. We went from pulling all-nighters, watching our favorite movies and eating ice cream, and dancing to our favorite band in our PJ's to just two people who follow one another on social media.

I just want you to know, you were the first person I ever shared secrets with. The first person who ever did my makeup, helped me pick out outfits, made me try new foods, even try out new things in general that I was not interested in doing at all. You were like a sister to me. No one could ever take back the laughs that we shared or the tears that we shed over the dumb boys who we realize now weren't worth it.

Even though we do not talk anymore, I do know what is going on in your life more than you may think. I am proud of you for getting into the college that you have always dreamed of going to and for finally finding a guy who is putting a smile on your face. It is nice to see that you are growing up and doing what you always dreamed of doing.

As for me, I am living day-by-day doing what I always thought was unthinkable. I have also finished my first year of college and am still with that boy that you were not so sure about. He is my best friend, and I cannot imagine accomplishing what I have without him. I know back in the day you were concerned, and I thank you for that, but I want you to know he makes me happier than anyone ever has. My family asks about you all of the time, and all I can say is that you seem like you are doing well (even though I personally do not know).

Always know that even though we are not BFF's anymore or talk on a daily basis, I am always here for you. Your number will forever be in my phone since you are forever in my heart. Do not hesitate to call or text or even stop by my house if there is something you just have to get off of your chest. My heart is now fulfilled and my life must go on, and even though you are no longer in it, I will never forget the friendship that we once shared.

Best Regards,

Your ex-best 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.
