Life has a funny way of bringing people into our lives just when we need them. When you walked into my life three years ago (woah, that long ago?!), God knew I needed you and my life hasn't been the same since. You have taught me so many things in the three years that I have known you and you quickly became my unexpected hero. I never expected our friendship to flourish like it has, but I am so glad it did!

You have taught me so much about life. Whenever I need advice or have a problem, I call you. I know that you will always lend your ear to listen or your shoulder for me to cry on. You shoot it to me straight and don't tiptoe around anything because you love me that much and want the absolute best for me. Even though I am often times stubborn and don't listen, I appreciate every bit of advice you give me and take it with me always.

Some of my best memories with you are the ones which included us riding in your car from job site to job site. From our car conversations which started off small, but then progressed to both of us talking a mile a minute to eating Chick-Fil-A on the go, many of my best summer memories are with you.

You have welcomed me with open arms into your family and I feel so blessed to not only know you, but to know them as well. I look up to you and admire you so much. You have shown me what true strength and determination looks like and you have shown me that you really can do whatever you set your mind to.

Thank you for always being so supportive of me and my accomplishments and always having my back. Thank you for always encouraging me to follow my dreams and never settle for less than what I deserve. Thank you for being one of the rocks that has kept me grounded for the past three years and always being there for me.

You are such a light in my life and that light shines brightly to whoever you come in contact with. You have one of the most genuine, kind, and selfless souls of anyone I have ever met and I am blessed beyond measure to call you my dear friend. I love you and am thankful every day for you!

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.
