High school friends come and go, but sometimes there comes the rare one that stays with you forever, not literally, but in your heart. This letter is partly a thank you note and partly wanting to express how I miss you.

When I moved to your school, I wasn't expecting to find friends or let alone a life-long friendship. You scooped me up and took me in as your own and made me feel like I had known you and your friends for years. I knew instantly that we were gonna have a blossoming friendship throughout high school, and hopefully beyond. With that being said, I want to tell you thank you.

Thank you for being the person there when you knew I had no one. Thank you for coming over just to cheer me up or because you needed cheering up. Thank you for the countless Wal-Mart sandwich adventures we endured.

Thank you for the times we stayed up all night making up dumb stories, listening to crazy music, and watching cringe-worthy videos. Mostly I want to thank you for showing me unconditional love and support and for being there for me when you didn't have to be.

When you told me you were moving to Canada, my heart broke a little. I wasn't ready to give up quality best friend time, but I knew it was what you needed and wanted to do. I will forever be grateful that you found something and someone to make you happy and encourage you to broaden your horizons.

I want to say I am proud of you for how much you've grown since we met back in our sophomore year of high school. You've come so far and matured so much it's almost insane.

Even though you're 2,500+ miles away, even though we don't talk every day like we used to, you're still my very best friend and I am still your number one supporter.

I live for when you come back to visit, and I hope one day I can come experience a glimpse of your new life. I am incredibly proud of you and all of your accomplishments and I wish you the absolute best when it comes to life.

You will forever be my very best friend, no matter how much distance is between us. I miss you, I love you, and I'm glad to see you living your best life even if it's in Canada.

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.
