An Open Letter To The Man That Will Fall In Love With My Best Friend
Buzzfeed

To the man that will love my best friend,

You're going to think her dad is protective but just wait until you meet me. I'm her best friend, her other half, and the first person she'll turn to if you break her heart. I'll know more about you than you probably will want me to. I'll even go as far as to checking your twitter favorites and pictures you've been tagged in on Instagram. By the end of my social media stalking, I'll know the name of your cousin's boyfriend and how you asked that one girl to the homecoming dance your freshman year. It's not that I'm out to get you and it's not that I want you to hate me. It's just that I won't really mind if you do because the simple matter is that you aren't just in love with any girl, you're in love with my best friend. If you hurt her, I hurt you. See how that works?

My best friend deserves a man that appreciates every aspect of her crazy, beautiful, and sometimes sassy self. She deserves a man that will surprise her just so he can see her eyes light up, a man that's willing to embarrass himself just to hear her laugh, and a man that will never break a promise. Be sure to let her sing in the car, and tell her she sounds magnificent when she asks (because I know she will). Take her to get that milkshake she's craving at midnight, and go see that new Nicholas Sparks' movie that really doesn't interest you at all. Invest time in her. Go out of your way for her because she's out of your league. My best friend is one of a kind and should be treated so. Please, don't go a single day without realizing the beauty of her heart, the sweetness of her thoughts, or the generosity of her nature.

I know that one day you'll occupy her every thought, you'll make up most of her dreams, and she will most definitely talk more about you than she does me (that one's hard to accept). I'm sure your ears will hear secrets from her even I haven't heard and I know you'll foster an intimate bond with her no one else has ever had. However, just remember that she was my best friend long before you fell in love with her. I'm not going anywhere. So yes, to answer your question, it is normal to feel like you're the one third wheeling when we all hang out.

I don't expect you to be perfect. Well, wait... who am i trying to kid? I do expect you to be perfect because I wouldn't want to see my best friend with anything less than.

With (some) love,

Her Best Friend

PS- Naturally, I'll always be by her side.

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.
