Hello Stranger...

A Letter To A Friend Turned Acquaintance
Huffington Post

Dear Friend,

Or shall I call you an acquaintance? I don't know how this happened really. We don't talk anymore (not to quote the song). In today's society it doesn't take much to "keep in touch". If you want to count seeing social media updates then I think it's pretty easy to keep in touch. That bothers me though. I really love talking and actively participating in each other's lives. I have no hard feelings. I just miss you!

Well, I'll be honest. I still consider you a friend but I don't really know what's going on in your life. I could reach out. I really could. I'll be honest though...I'm not sure that you would really care. I realize that is a judgement call I am making on my own. Nonetheless I miss you! I miss talking to you every day. I also do not know if I would know the best way to contact you either. I'm left guessing at what you are up to. I'd like to update you on my life since I am not sure that you even know what I am doing with mine. I suppose we went our separate ways because school doesn't keep us together. Graduation also happened so that doesn't help. I really hate the saying "went our separate ways" because besides physically, I am pretty sure we still have things in common and I could talk to you for hours on end. It wouldn't even be awkward and as we all know, I am full of awkwardness. But anyway...

I can't help but think about the good times. They were far and few between because we didn't see each other all that much, but dang, I miss you! Distance separated us like distance does best! I only call you an acquaintance because I feel like I don't know you anymore, which is silly since you haven't changed. You haven't gone off the deep end or done a 180. I know if we had a conversation right now we could pick up where we left off, but that doesn't mean you don't feel like a stranger to me.

Well, just know I'm thinking about you. If you ever want to catch up, that's cool. I'm also praying for you...constantly. Lord knows we all need it. And I often look back on the memories we made and they are some of the best. SO thank you for those! Hope all is well!

Love,

Your Friend/ Acquaintance

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.
