Here's To The Seasonal Friendships

Thank you for helping me find my lifetime friends

Here's To The Seasonal Friendships

There's that saying that goes: "People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime".

In my 20 years on God's green earth, I've discovered that seasonal friendships are the most common. I've considered a plethora of people my close friends, and some have decided to quietly excuse themselves while some have slammed the door behind them.

Seasonal friendships aren't all bad, though. Seasonal friends are put into your life to help you discover what you want to be more like or what you want to steer from. My only wish is that there was a stamp on their head that said "Hey I'm not gonna be in your life for that long so don't get too attached to me". But that's not practical at all.

Seasonal friendships aren't meant to make you bitter to the rest of humanity, but to help you stand taller the next time a shitty person walks into your life seasonal friendship occurs. 😋 Sure, I'm bitter about the seasonal friendships that I've experienced, but I've realized that staying ill-hearted doesn't benefit anybody. When you go through a friend break up, as cliche as it sounds, you find out who really has your back.

Find the people that go out of their way to make you laugh even though you're a stubborn asshole that wants to wallow in your own self pity. Find the people that will listen to you complain about the same thing for the 100th time, but will tell you to shut up when they know that it's time for you to get over it.

So here's to you, seasonal friends. Thank you for helping me find my lifetime friends. And I hope that through me, you can find yours as well.

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.
