To The Girl Who Dates My Best Friend,

Men and women can be just friends.

This is such an important concept. He is my best friend, and I am his. Nothing romantic has happened between us and nothing like that ever will. Sometimes he will sleep over my house, but that is because he needs a change of scenery and some time to catch up. He will gush about you, and I will be so excited to meet the girl who my best friend loves.

We have known each other for so many years; he is more like a brother. I really hope this isn’t a problem for you like it was for other girls. Our families have been intertwined since before we were born, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

I know you want him to be close to your family, and he will be, but that bond comes with time. My mother is a second mother to him, and I hope you will respect that rather than be jealous. You should be happy that he has so many people who love him and treat him well. With time (and possibly a ring), you will be treated just as well.

My biggest hope is you will treat him the way he deserves to be treated. He will work hard in life, respect you, try his best to make you happy, and so much more. Please give him the same in return. Please don’t hurt him.

Sometimes he may say or do something stupid, but boys are sometimes stupid. Just know I am probably right there with you giving him a lecture.

Men and women can be just friends.

Please respect our friendship, and I will respect your relationship.

Sincerely,

His Best Friend

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.
