I Can't Imagine My Life Without My Best Friend

I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

Many people take pride in having several friends. Don't get me wrong, I love having multiple friends. However, there's something about having that one person in your life who you can call your best friend. This person makes your life better in so many ways. They are someone you can always depend on. You look out for each other. You have inside jokes that have gone on for years. You push each other to believe in yourselves. This person, for me, is my best friend Mary, and this letter is for her.

Mary,

I'm so glad that God put us in each other's lives in 7th grade, and I've had the best time ever since. You've accepted my shy personality, and I am so grateful for that. I've always thought that people wouldn't really want to take the time to get to know me because I am pretty quiet, but you accepting me for me has definitely helped me to grow and believe in myself.

Thank you for helping me create some of my favorite memories. From all of our sleepovers to Facetime calls that consist mainly of uncontrollable laughter, we have the best time! You always work hard to bring us together (even with our busy schedules and going to different schools). I think my favorite memories from the last 8 years come from our late night movie trips. Going to the movies is super casual, but we somehow make it one of the funniest occasions.

I am so grateful to have a best friend who inspires me. You are incredibly influential and encouraging. Your determination to educate others on important topics like politics and mental health makes me so proud to call you my best friend. I am constantly learning so much from you. You put your heart and soul into everything you do. You put others before yourself constantly. You are talented in so many ways, and I cannot wait to see how you use your talents in the future.

I can't imagine not having you as my best friend! I know I can always count on you to lift my spirits and push me to live my life to the fullest. I can't thank you enough for you just being you. You're the absolute best.

Love,

Shalise

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.
