A Letter To My Bridesmaids

To My Bridesmaids,

Thank you. That's all I can really say. Thank you for agreeing to stand by me as I take this leap. A leap so big that my life will never be the same. Thank you for always being there through the countless tears and laughs over the years. I hand-picked the seven of you because in so many ways you have each touched my heart unlike anyone else. I couldn't pick seven more diverse, intelligent and beautiful girls, even if I tried.

Thank you for agreeing to try on countless dresses until we find the perfect one. For agreeing to spend money on a dress that hopefully you wear more than once. For choosing to put up with me for the next year as I run around like a chicken with its head cut off as I try to plan this wedding while going to school and scoring my first big girl job.

From the moment we were in middle school and became friends, I knew that I wanted you by my side as I get married. I know that we might not be as close as we once were but I know that you will always be there for me no matter what. Throughout the years, you have always been there through the ups and downs of life. I promise to try and make the next year as painless as possible for you all and I promise to not have you wear a dress you don't like.

Thank you in advance for all the wedding events and showers and parties you will have to attend in the next year. I know that I haven't always had time for our friendship and I know that sometimes I really fail as a friend but I hope that this next year changes so much. I hope that as you help to lead me down the aisle that our friendship never weakens.

I could never thank you girls enough for the hell that you are about to endure this next year but I couldn't pick better girls, even if I tried. Forever friends and sisters 'til the end. I cannot wait until we are sipping on mimosas the morning of my wedding, for in that moment nothing else will matter other than the amazing young women that I will be surrounded by as we try to squeeze my ass into a wedding dress.

Thank you for everything.

Love, The Bride

P.S.- Please no penis shaped stuff at the bachelorette party, that shit is just weird.

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.
