An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Fell In Love With
Kelly Cameron

To the best friend I fell in love with,

Ever since I met you, you have been someone I could always count on. Someone who I could call crying because of a family problem, someone who I knew was always going to answer and do everything they could to make sure that they made me happy and calm again. You didn’t always know what was wrong, but it didn’t matter.

I met you when we were young and stupid, you were into me but I was into someone else. You dated other people and I stayed back and tried to be the best friend that I could be to you, as hard as it was.

I watched you have your heart broken multiple times by girls who did not deserve you. I sat with you as you cried when you found out you had been cheated on.

When I look in your eyes, I don’t feel anxiety. I can see how much you care about me. When you hug me, I feel like I’m in the safest person in the entire world, that nothing can touch me without getting through you. You can make me laugh like no one else in the world. I love the fire I feel when we kiss or when we touch.

I want to be with you now, I want to be the last person I see before I shut my eyes, and the first one I see when I open them. I want to take a leap of faith with you and just see what happens, because I believe that this could be the ride of a lifetime. I just don’t know how to tell you. That I love you.

From, the best friend who hopes you feel the same.

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.
