A Letter To My Best Friend
Dakota Shell

What is life without a best friend? Someone who is there to support you through all your phases and love you with every bad decision. Someone who laughs at all your terrible jokes. Someone who takes your side in every situation, no matter how wrong you actually are.

I know I would literally be nowhere in life if it was not for my best friend. You mean a great deal to me so this is my thank you letter to you for simply being you; my best friend.

It has been several years of friendship that I am beyond thankful for, despite the ups and downs. Sure, we fight, but that is what best friends do. That is a part of being so close. We are not afraid to tell each other what we think. We are not afraid to be stubborn with one another, because no matter what, we will still remain best friends.

Thank you for all the little things that have made our friendship strong. Thank you for singing all the Disney songs with me, especially Hannah Montana. Thank you for making random YouTube videos with me, even when we just looked stupid. Thank you for pulling several all-nighters with me on several occasions. Thank you for the many, MANY laughs about stupid things that no one else will ever understand.

Thank you for all the serious things that have made us sisters at heart. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder when my ex broke up with me. Thank you for not letting me go even when I've done terrible things to our friendship. Thank you for understanding that sometimes boyfriends take us away. Thank you for always making sure we made plans despite having busy schedules. Thank you for loving God and knowing that He will always come first.

Now for the cliches. Thank you for being the Blaire to my Serena. Thank you for being the Patrick to my SpongeBob. Thank you for being the Christina to my Meredith. And thank you for being the Lilly to my Miley.

It has been several years now and we really could not be any stronger in our friendship. We are getting older and with that will come distance, but I will never forget about all the wonderful times we have had. As we get married and start our families, my children will get to see first-hand how wonderful a friendship can be. They will get to experience a wonderful Aunt that blood did not give, but God did. We may end up living several miles apart, but our hearts will keep us closer than ever. When life gets busy, remember that I am always here, whether it is a car ride or air plane ride away.

My best friend, thank you for being the amazingly talented and beautiful you.

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.
