Dear Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,

I am so happy that we have remained friends after all these years (I think its around fourteen or fifteen years). I love that we can have conversations with pictures and that we have been there for each other through everything. I love that you share the same thoughts (except for who Rory should end up with) about most everything. Harry Potter is a common conversation as well as how your kids are doing. They are so precious and I love that they like most of the same things that we do. Especially Carson and his love for Mickey Mouse. I love that you let me be a part of their lives and that we are still so close. I know that if I ever have a problem I can text you and you will talk me down from the near mental breakdown or tell me that everything will be okay. I wouldn't trade the conversations that we have for anything in the world. Even though we live so far apart, we will never be too far to be there are each other. I like that we can watch a Disney movie and sing the songs word for word and not care how the other sounds or looks. I like that we still share a bed when I come visit or you come to visit me (sorry Shane for kicking you out of your own bed.) I love the fact that you got me addicted to Chai from Starbucks, even though there is not one anywhere close to me. I also love that we always go to Chikfila when we are together. Also the amount of oreos that is consumed when we're together is unbelievable. You know pretty much everything about me and my weird quirks. I love when you recommend books for me to read and tell me if I would like something or not. I love that we can talk about anything, I also love that you asked me to be the maid of honor in your wedding. I know that I don't tell you enough but I do appreciate all that you do for me as well as all that you help me with. I love that I will always have a room in the house that we always talk about having one day. I mean really when you think about it, we have talked about a house that we can have both of our families living in for a long time. I love that you are a beach bum like me and that you wouldn't rather be anywhere else. Thank you for being my best friend and always being there for me.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend

P.S. Rory should've ended up with Jess and not Logan!!!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
