A Message To The Guy Who Taught Me How To Love.
Mikayla Coyne

After meeting you, I had no idea how much you would mean to me now. I'm the opposite of sappy, rather unaffectionate, and really really weird most of the time. But somehow you didn't care. You sit there while I complain about every little thing, you laugh when I make even the slightest bit of a funny joke, and you never fail to put the biggest smile on my face.

Before we met, I obviously knew what it meant to love someone, but I never truly experienced it. I don't mean for this to be overly sappy, but it's true. You showed me what it means to care about someone's happiness just as much as my own. You showed me what it means to miss someone after 5 minutes, and to be comfortable enough to split two entire pizzas.

The surprises and cute dates can't even begin to describe all the amazing things you do for me. No one has ever cared about me the way that you do. You take what's best for me first and even put me before yourself at times.

We talk about the craziest things, not to mention all the weird things we do together. It's nice to know that I'll always have someone there to protect me, and even nicer to know that you'll feed me or buy me Starbucks when my attitude gets a little too high. You are always the reason I feel better about myself when I'm feeling down, even if I give you a hard time about it. When we fight, we laugh it out at the end because of how dumb our reasons were for fighting.

You never fail to try to brighten my worst days, or make my brightest days even better. All the little things we talk about mean the most; planning our vacations, all the dogs we could have, or where we're going to go to dinner next. Our insane "Netflix and Chill" sessions of actually binge-watching a show and eating is one of my favorite things we do.

So thank you. Thank you for teaching me how to love someone for everything that they are, and for teaching me how to love myself. Thank you for being 100% you all of the time, and for accepting me through all the mistakes I may have made. You truly are my best friend, and no matter where life takes us you will always mean so much to me.

As Taylor Swift once said, "You are the best thing that's ever been mine"

I love you!

-- your girlfriend

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.
