Dear Best Friend,

I know we haven't spoken in a while and that's OK. Sometimes, as we grow up we grow apart from those that we were once super close to. Even though our lives are hectic, and we don't see or speak to each other often, I want you to know a few things.

I appreciate you being there for me during my awkward middle school days. You were one of the first friends I made, and you made me feel so welcome and safe. I miss sharing the stage with you in all of our high school musicals (no pun intended).

I thank you for supporting my decision to move away after high school to a big city in order to chase my Broadway dreams. Also for picking me back up when my life shifted, and I had to move back home.

You welcomed me into your family as one of your own, at times when my family was falling apart.

I miss our endless laughs and all the inside jokes that we created that never get old.

I thank you for helping me survive the next day after a night of hardcore partying, to making breakfast for dinner, watching "Master Chef" and for being the best roommate ever.

I appreciate you for helping me grow into the person that I am today and for loving and accepting me for who I am, not what society wants me to be. It's because of you that I learned to love myself and embrace the person that I am.

We spent a lot of time together and have memories to last a lifetime. From middle school to college to adulthood, you've always been there.

I appreciate you for being you and not caring what everyone else thinks. Our lives may have gone in different directions, but I am always rooting for you on the sidelines. I miss you, best friend, and I'll always be here for you!

Love,

Your Best Friend

AI music threatens 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.
