A Letter To My Best Friend

It's not about who you've known the longest; it's about who came when you needed them and never left your side.

A Letter To My Best Friend
http://weheartit.com/greysbr/collections/3719882-meredith-e-cristina

Dear best friend,

Hey, I would say its been a while but honestly I probably just sent you a bunch of screenshots or had a meltdown over something. Lately when I get bored I look through the thousands of pictures we’ve sent each other, and every time I end up laughing. From screenshots of text messages with boys to pictures of nights that are blurry, I cherish every moment.

And then that got me to thinking of how we became friends. We talk about this all the time because our friendship was so random, and out of no where, and now we cant picture life without each other. Of all things that could lead us to talk, it was in the end a boy, who will remain nameless. You and I knew who each other was but we weren’t friends. I hadn’t known you my whole life, I hadn’t known where you lived, I hadn’t known your family. But in my junior year, and your sophomore year we started talking about the said boy. And for as crappy of a person he was, I'm so glad that I talked to him because it led me to you.

It led me to my person. I truly do not know where I would be without you, without our late phone calls and FaceTimes, and many many screenshots, and are never ending laughter. You have truly carried me through some of the hardest times of my life, and I hope I have done the same for you.

I know it's not easy us being 20 hours away, nine months out of 12, but I think you would agree with me that this has only strengthened our relationship. It has allowed us to see that there really is not a single thing that could come between us and break our bond.

Thank you for always being there for every call (drunk or sober), every text, every laugh, every tear and every hug. Thank you for wanting to plan all these extravagant trips that may not happen. Thank you for knowing the five things my future husband needs to know for my proposal, and so much more. Our memories will forever live in my heart and you will forever be my best friend, but more importantly my person.

I would say see you soon, but I honestly probably just sent you another screen shot.

Love you always

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.
