A Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Sammy Roush

To My Best Friend,

It’s been months since we’ve seen each other, how weird is that? We spent years doing everything together. We suffered high school together. We dealt with heartbreak, loss and just overall life together. Being split after graduation was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. Realize something, though...

I am so happy and lucky that you and I have stayed connected. We still talk all the time. You are still the first person I tell all the good, bad and ugly to. Even though you are miles and miles away, nothing can break the bond you and I hold. Knowing you are no more than just a phone call away has kept me going while we've been separated.

My favorite thing is being able to see you because it's like a holiday in and of itself. Being able to go on those late night adventures, drive our parents insane, all those things we used to do... Nothing changes. No matter what, it's like we were never apart. It's just like it used to be. For that, I am forever thankful.

If there is one thing I want you to never forget, it's that I am and always will be there for you no matter what. We've been best friends since middle school. Not many people can say they found their maid of honor at such a young age. We've talked about our weddings. We've talked about how our kids are going to be best friends just like us. We've talked about it all. The future is exciting, and even more exciting knowing you'll be by my side through it all.

Love always and forever,

Best Friend

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.
