Losing My Best Friend
W-Dog

Losing my best friend was and possibly still is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

I wish I could describe the pain of losing my best friend.

Now, this person is not dead. We just do not talk anymore. I wish we could. I mean I have tried but this person refuses to talk to me. It has gotten to the point where I have just given up.

To clear something up, my definition of best friend is different from everyone else. I have grown up thinking that my one and only best friend on Earth is my future husband. And with that being said, no, I have never been married but the person I have mentioned above was someone I saw myself getting married to and I believed that we were going to at one point. He became my best friend. I told him everything and he got me to talk about things that I never thought I would talk about to anyone else. He was the one person I looked forward to getting a text from. He was my best friend that I loved deeply.

When I broke up with him before starting college, I was deeply pained in doing it. I didn't want to give him up at all, but it was getting to a point where my mental health got so bad that I had to give him up ( there is a long explanation for it that will probably be discussed in some future article when I feel it is right to explain every little detail). The weeks and months after were filled with many questions , wondering if I had made the right choice. I still wonder that even now. Granted, we have talked some within the past year or two , but we are not the same. College has changed us both and we are still trying to figure out what kind of people we are going to be.

There are times when I wish I could just text him and everything would be the same. He would answer me and I would have nothing to worry about. But, deep down inside, I know I lost my best friend because he needed to be lost whether it be for the rest of our college careers or for the rest of my life. I will never know. I hope he doesn't have to stay lost for the rest of my life but, if it is supposed to be that way, then so be it.

So, best friend, if you are reading this, I still think about you everyday and wonder how you are doing. I hope that God is working in your life as he is in mine, fixing all of my broken pieces. And, if you ever want to talk, you know how to get a hold of me. - HC

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.
