An Open Letter To My Long Distance BFF

I wish you where here to experience it all with me, but I know you're only a FaceTime call away.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance BFF

An open letter to my long distance bff,

I want to say I love you and I am so proud of you. You are my other half and I'm so blessed to do life with you. Since we separated for college, it has been hard to see each other but when we are reunited, it's like nothing has changed. You understand me like no one else, and I'm glad we have this weekend to pick up exactly where we left off.

I will never forget the day you moved away. I was happy because you were so excited to live in a place that you have always wanted, but I was so sad because my miss lady was going to be miles away from the place where we grew up. But in the end, we made it work and now our friendship is stronger and more sacred because of it. It has only been a year, but since then, I have moved out of that small town myself, reached new goals, and fallen in love with the opportunities life has thrown my way. I wish you were here to experience it all with me, but I know you're only a FaceTime call away.

We may not go to parties and make stupid decisions like we used to, but there will always be a time for us to pop a bottle of "Kinky" (your favorite) and complain about things that don’t really matter. We may no longer have a countless number of sleepovers, or decide last minute to travel to Indianapolis to meet someone famous, but I know no matter how old we get things won't ever change.

What is truly great about all of this is no matter how old we get there will still be time for us to make a few more immature decisions that might lead to $1200 tickets or jail time but as long as we are in it together, you better believe I'll be along for the ride. What we have is something people could only wish for in another person, and I am thankful for the things I have learned because of you. Our friendship has taught me that it doesn't matter how many miles apart we are when it comes to people you love. Above all else, our friendship is something to cherish and be proud of. It's easy for friends who live so far to grow apart, but you always seemed to be there at the end of each and every day.

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.
