An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Author's photo

Dear best friend,

It is honestly crazy to think that there was a time in my life that I did not know you, a time where we lived in different states. A time where you were not my best friend. Now, you complete me and keep me going through this crazy thing called "life."

Thank you for always having my back, going on crazy adventures with me, and listening to my never-ending rants. You came into my life when I was twelve years old and my life has not been the same since; it was changed for the better. You were with me through the awkward stages of middle school, good times and bad, through it all you have stood by me.

Thank you for making me laugh even when I am too sad to think it is possible. Thank you for finishing my sentences because when I don't even know what I am talking about, you do. Thank you for always giving me advice and for encouraging me to follow my dreams, even when they seem out of reach. Thank you for worshipping with me every Tuesday night because you know how important that is to me. Most importantly, thank you for being you!

My mom always told me that I would be blessed if I could say that I have one true friend. I am definitely blessed because that is you. Do not worry because I have reserved my future maid of honor spot for you and maybe even be the godparent of my future kids. I can picture it now.

Not everyone gets the opportunity to have a best friend like you, and if you do they are usually temporary friendships. Though we fell off for a short period of time, we did come back together. Other friendships of mine have fallen off but you have stayed consistent for seven years and I cannot thank you enough for that. You have truly shown me what a true friend should look like. You’re more than I could have ever hoped for.

I am so thankful that we met in summer day camp and that we were born on the same day. There is no one else that I would rather spend my birthday with, it is crazy how things happen. You were that person who changed everything for me by making my life so exciting and adventurous. I thank God for you every day and more importantly that He not only placed you in my life; but sent us to the same college.

With much love,

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.
