To The Friends Who Have Deep Conversations With Me: Thank You.

For the many times we have had conversations in a parked car that have lasted hours.

To The Friends Who Have Deep Conversations With Me: Thank You.
Laura Cummins Gleason

To all the friends in my life who I have had life conversations with— thank you.

Thank you for revealing the hardest parts of your life with me. Thank you for sharing your struggles. Thank you for listening to my struggles and letting me share the hard parts of my life with you.

Thank you for just rolling with it when we go from joking one minute to crying the next. Thank you for realizing that it is not a specific setting that drives a conversation, but rather the person. Some of the deepest conversations happen in car rides, dorm rooms, the library, or even sitting on porches.

Thank you for helping me analyze my life and then listening as I analyze yours. Thank you for listening to my frustrations and my deepest questions about the way life works.

Thank you for pushing me to be better even when you don't realize it. Thanks for the times that something should've taken twenty minutes but instead turned into a four hour ordeal because we had life things to talk about. Thanks for refusing to let me leave until we finished sorting out problems, and for staying when I refused to let you leave.

Thank you for knowing how to keep a secret. Thanks for noticing when the big things happen in my life and for being just as excited as I am. Thank you for always being there, even if you cannot always physically be there.

Our conversations are what keep me sane sometimes, so thank you for being the type of friend that I can have those life conversations with. But really most of all— just thank you for being you.

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.
