Love Always, Your Best Friend

Thank you for being my shoulder, thank you for being my crutch, and thank you for being my constant since seventh grade.

Love Always, Your Best Friend
Devin Tubbs

Dear Best Friend,

Where do I begin? I could start off by saying our relationship is like no other. You're honest, you're brilliant, you care for me, and you take care of me. You know me inside and out like no other. You randomly text me a picture of something you found funny on the internet and I, of course, respond with "LMAO" and a bunch of laughing crying emoji's.

Times are tough right now. School, work, trying to keep my head above water without drowning in the overwhelming pool of emotions. I know I should vent to you over a gas station pizza and Icee and us sit on your bed for hours upon end, watching Netflix. I know I should call more, I know that I should respond back, thank you for being patient.

Thank you for being my shoulder, thank you for being my crutch, and thank you for being my constant since seventh grade. Thank you for pushing me to do better in life and making sure I was okay when I was definitely not. For listening to me vent over the same drama over and over again and hating everyone I did whether you really did or not.

Thank you for being my family. Thank you for bringing me on trips and lake days and letting me third wheel. Thank you for letting me borrow clothes that I probably still have that neither of us can fit anymore. Thank you for lunch dates and never forgetting me as we went to separate high schools. For the never ending love I have received from you and your family.

Thank you for understanding I can't do the things we used to like riding on top of the golf cart in the freezing cold, seeing how long it would take to go around the neighborhood screaming at the top of our lungs. Thank you for singing Alicia Keys with me and going through the horrible scene phase by my side faithfully (and embarrassingly).

Thank you for still being here emotionally as well as physically when you come home from college. Thank you for the endless snap chat videos that are 50 seconds deep and still going that keep me informed and laughing in tears. Thank you for being you.

You've been here through everything. You know everything and you've experienced most of everything with me. You are such a strong, beautiful, and smart young woman and I am blessed to have you by my side during this life.

You're my future Maid of Honor, you're the bat to my man, and your my favorite passenger in our NASCAR adventures

I am so proud of you for following your dreams and using your talent to enhance your life. I am so ready to see where you go!

Thank you for doing life with me.

Love always, your best friend.

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.
