True friends help you through everything.

Friendship is one of the greatest gifts given to us. Our friends are who we depend on and vent to. Friends are there for you when boys aren't. It's so hard to find a truly good friend anymore, but when you do life seems a bit more brighter.

Friends are there for you when you are crying in the middle of the night because someone died on Grey's Anatomy and they don't judge you. No matter what time of the night, a true friend will be there in a heartbeat. Need to vent about a problem? They are there. Need a ride to work? They will try their hardest to get you there. Seriously, friends are the best.

It is easy to feel like you don't deserve these amazing friends. When your friends are so awesome, it can make you feel like you're not so awesome. Just don't compare! Obviously if they are THAT awesome, you must be pretty wonderful yourself. I constantly think, "Why do I have such amazing friends? What makes me so special to be blessed with such amazing people?!" But I have to reassure myself that I deserve happiness and healthy friendships. Cherish your friends and stop overthinking!

When a romantic relationship ends, friends are there for each other! Your squad are your go-to people who will listen to you rant and cry for as long as your need. Friends will do whatever it takes to make you happy. It can be putting toilet paper all over his/her yard to sitting on the couch crying while watching sad movies. Who needs a boyfriend or girlfriend when you have a friend who cuddles you??

Very importantly, when you are going through a rough stage in your life, your friendship is tested. So many people tend to leave when things get rough. But the friends that stay by your side and help you get through the pain/situation, are the ones that make life worth living.

The cherry on top is having a BEST friend who is literally your go to person. They are always down for anything and are your other half. Best friends are the ones who went through the dark times and helped you get through it. Best friends love you unconditionally. Honestly, a best friend is the best medicine. Love your friends and your best friends a little more

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.
