10 Reasons Your Dog Is Actually, And Quite Literally, Your Best Friend
Kirsten Ocwieja

For all those dog lovers out there, the following piece is for you and your special pooch that is always there to snuggle up with you on your good and bad days.

1. They are all ears whenever you just want to talk.

Sometimes, listening is the best help that you can give. There is no better listener than your dog; they get it. Life is "ruff" and sometimes you just need someone to vent to. Also, you can trust them to never tell anyone your secrets.

2. There is never a time when you walk in the door and they are not excited to see you.

Who does not love being greeted by a big or small furry friend jumping all over your legs? Seriously, there is no better greeting if you ask me.

3. They are always there to take goofy selfies with you.

Who does not love a funny selfie? Even better, a funny selfie with your pooch. It just proves that you two are the best of friends that your dog is not only there to listen to you, but also make you smile.

4. Not only do they participate in silly pictures, but also serious ones when you are trying to capture that perfect ~gram~.

Seriously, you and your pooch truly bring out your inner beauties of each other ... Smile!

5. They have seen you naked and did not get scared.

Thanks for never judging me or running away.

6. Whether it is winter, spring, summer or fall, you can always count on fun activities with them.

Whether it is running through the snow, jumping in leaves, smelling flowers or even splashing in their own mini pool ... the day is always a blast with them.

7. Not only are you the No. 1 fan of your favorite sports team, but naturally, so are they!

Airbus ice hockey edition!

8. They are always hungry when you are hungry.

Thanks for sharing that bowl of ice cream with me and making me feel less guilty. Seriously ... diet starts tomorrow!

9. They are your best workout buddy.

Hey, bikini body season doesn't just apply to me, it applies to you, too, so you're coming on a walk with me.

10. They are always there to give you the love and attention that you deserve.

Your pooch is never going to leave your side and will always be there to lick the tears away and put a smile on your face on a bad day. Thanks for being my best friend, dogg-o!

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
