A Letter To My Hometown Friends
We Heart It

To my hometown friends,

Thank you. There is so much I have to thank you for and I don't even know where to start or what to say because I feel like there is so many things to say. You guys have been the truest friends that I have ever known and I have never met such kind, loyal friends and I am so blessed to have known you guys since I've been a young girl. You guys have seen the best in me and the worst in me as well, but you've always loved me through that. You guys have never in one second in my life made me feel bad about myself or made me question the friendship we have because you have always been uplifting and strive to make me feel good about myself. I only hope you think I've been a good friend back. I love you guys so incredibly much and my heart is filled with so much joy when we talk or I am with you guys.

Being away from all of you in college is so difficult, but the days that we get to Facetime or have a phone call means more than you guys will ever know. You've been an amazing support system even thousand of miles away and I have felt more close with you guys than anyone in physical close proximity to me. There is never a moment where I'm not laughing or enjoying my time with you all because you guys are really so beautiful - inside and out. I've never met such beautiful souls and you all deserve the world. I hope you all know that. You are all such brilliant, funny, enjoyable people to be around and all I can say is how lucky I feel to know you guys.

You have all seen me in my awkward stages and I've seen you in yours, and I love that and I love that you guys still love me through all my weird stages. It's so rare to stay friends with someone that you have known since elementary or middle school, but you all still are the best part of me. We have come so far and I truly do not think that we will stop being friends because the bond we share is beautiful. Whoever you guys end up with will be the luckiest men in the world to share a life with someone as special as you guys are, and they better know that or I'll give them a nice chat. I know I don't nearly tell you all enough how much I love you guys because sometimes I don't know how to gather my thoughts and words and this is still all so jumbled but I love you guys. I love you all so much. You are the most beautiful people I know, and I hope that if you guys ever feel down that you read this and remember how special you are. Because you are.

Love,

Your friend who appreciates everything you guys do

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.
