Thank you for everything you did for me

First off, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for everything you did for me. You came into my life when I was in a tough situation, and you helped me through that. The first time we hung out you came to my house to pick me up and took me to my favorite coffee place, even though you hate coffee. After we got back you came inside and talked to my family, and right then was when I knew you were different than other boys.

Thank you for taking me on cute little dates and always paying. Thank you for singing along to all my throwback songs that I know you secretly hated. Thank you for always getting coffee with me. Thank you for believing in me when no one else did. Thank you for always choosing me. Thank you for being my best friend through it all. Thank you for putting up with me through moments I'm not proud of. Thank you for being there for me when I was stressed out about college and scared for the future; I wish I could do the same for you now. Thank you for sticking around as long as you could.

You changed my outlook on so many things. Things I would have never seen differently if it weren't for you. You talked with such passion and love. You saw beauty in everything. The way you talked about the stars is something I will never forget. You didn't care what others thought about you as long as you were happy.

You showed me not only do I deserve someone that cares about me, but also someone that will do anything to prove that to me. You are the reason I know not to chase after boys that do not care about my feelings. You are the reason I got over that boy that took over my life in such a negative way. You taught me to love myself even when I thought it wasn't possible.

While it sucks to have ended the way we did, I'm so glad we still have a friendship through it all. it's scary not to know what the future holds and being so unsure of certain things, but I wish the best for you. Even though we didn't make it together, I know that we could have.

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.
