5,000 Miles Won't Keep Us Apart

Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind.

5,000 Miles Won't Keep Us Apart
Destiny Brilene Haunss

There are people out there who lose touch with their friends when one moves far away, but that didn't stop us. We went from being 5 miles away to 1,135 miles away to over 5,000 miles away and that didn't stop our friendship. You have expanded your journey and wrote a new chapter in your life. Your journey began with a first love and that love grew stronger. The memories we had will last forever and always be cherished. Being so far apart, made our friendship grow and became stronger than ever. We instantly met in high school out of random and became sisters. So here is my letter to my Belle.

Some may call you Amanda, Mands, or That Married Hawaiian Girl but I call you Belle. Yes, Belle as in Beauty and the Best. Thank you for being my best friend even if you're not physically here on Long Island with me. Having a best friend that lives so far away sucks but once reunited, we pick up as if we never were apart. You're my go-to for everything. You're the one I call when I'm crying at 3 a.m. because I know you'll be up. The time difference sucks but benefits in a way. Coming to see you back in May after our journey through our Magic Kingdom in January, I saw how much your life has changed. Your life in Hawaii is an experience and a journey that you took on with your husband and I really couldn't be any more proud of you.

Thank you for being the best friend a little mermaid could ever have. Considering you live in a kingdom on ground as I live in a castle underwater. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme. As you're walking around on what are those called? Oh right, feet. Because you have those to walk along your new journey. As I wanna be a part of your world, I have to find a way that allows me to swim into a new lifestyle. You're the Belle to my Ariel.

Xoxo

Your Little Mermaid

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.
