Friendships are the best things in life.

A lot of times, friends just come and go in your life. Even best friends come and go. It's just the natural order of friendships. Usually, there's no real negative reason to no longer being friends. You just stop seeing each other for one reason or another. But when you have a bad friendship, you begin to really appreciate the real friends around you.

You have short friendships. The ones that you have fond memories of. The person that was there for you when you needed them most and slowly drifted away. The ones that were there for you even if they aren't anymore.

Then you have the not so good friendships.

The toxic person that you slowly got away from or the one that you need to get away from. The person who changed from being a nice person to a not so nice person.

The best though is the friendships that last. The friends that you want to be friends with forever. The friends that want to be your friend forever. The ones that call you when they need to talk to someone rather the reason be good or bad.

The ones that you feel like yourself around. The ones that have stuck around. The ones that are still your friend even if you no longer live near each other.

To the real friends in life, thank you.

If you were here right now, we would give you a hug. Because you deserve a hug.

You don't really know how much you are appreciated because you have never been told or you don't think what you did is amazing or your friend never realized how great you are.

You always try and answer phone calls even if it's two in the morning. You are willing to take care of us when we are sick and be there when we cry. You've seen us at our worst and our best and still love us. You've been like a sibling (that maybe we never had).

Thank you to the real friends in life. The ones that plan to be stuck with us. The ones that understand us more than we know ourselves half the time. But most importantly, the ones that are there because they want to be there.

I hope you know that we are there for you too.

Love, your friends.

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.
