I like making people uncomfortable, but telling someone you love them shouldn't be something so taboo! I like making sure my friends know I care about them, that I am here for them, and that I love them. So I texted 11 people I care about to say "I Love You" out of the blue and see just what they would say.

I also picked people I don't normally text "I Love You" to on a daily basis, so sorry, Mom, but you are not included. Honestly, the results were kind of shocking.

My Longtime Best Friend

"uuhhh I love you too lmao."

My Boba Tea Best Friend

"You too, any reason or just because? Because I love you too?"

The Friend People Think Is My Twin

"Awww I love you too!"

My Tall Curly Haired Friend

"I love you... are you ok?"

My Roommate-Turned-Bestie

"Love you too Oschmegle."

My Bald Friend

"Thanks, that was random."

My Mutt Buddie

"I love you too omg!"

My Swimmer Friend

"Aww thank you! This was very sudden haha."

My Geopolitics Friend

"Dude I love you too!! I was actually having kind of a rough day and that genuinely just made me so happy!"

My Physics Friend

"I love you too... why?"

My Sister

"I love you too?"

Overall, I think the most refreshing thing was the number of people who not only said "I love you" back, but who checked in to see if I was OK. It's good to have people who are genuinely there for you even if you don't say you love them nearly enough.

I think maybe we should all start saying "I love you" a little more because a lot of people were genuinely confused as to why they were receiving this message out of nowhere.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
