Dear Best Friend,

An open letter to my best friend

Dear Best Friend,

Thank you.

Thank you for being the one person I can count on through everything.

Thank you for calling me out on the stupid things I do.

Thank you for the countless hugs and kisses on my cheek.

Thank you for making me laugh even when I knew I couldn't.

Thank you for talking on the phone with me for hours.

Thank you for going to so many concerts with me.


I love you.

I love you because you know me so well.

I love you because you make me laugh until I snort.

I love you because you are there for me when no one else is.

I love you because you listen to me rant about pointless things.

I love you because you make the worst but funniest jokes.

I love you because I can talk to you about anything.

I just thought you should know that I appreciate and cherish every memory we've ever shared. You're not just my best friend, you're my sister. Whenever you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here. Whenever you need a person to punch because you're feeling angry, I'm here. These past 9 years with you will forever mean the world to me. Your silly names and funny noises make me smile on the saddest days. Here's to the hours spent in the city doing nothing. Here's to the random sleepovers at each other's houses. Here's to the "play" fights we have almost all the time. Here's to the FaceTime calls that go on for hours.

I love that people still think we're sisters and we go along with it... or that time that woman thought you were my daughter. I don't think I can get along with anyone as much as I do with you. The funny part is, I didn't think of you as my "best friend" until recently. I knew we were close but I just thought, "we're cousins and we're close that's cool". But, now I know. I know what to say when someone asks me who my best friend is. I don't even have to think about how many friends I have and do I really have "just one best friend". I do, it's you.

You're two years younger than me, and that doesn't change a thing. I love you forever and always. Thanks for being my best friend.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
