My Dear Friend: You Are Enough
Amy Dawn

To my dearest friend:

You have brought so much light and joy into my life. Thanks to you, I have countless memories to reflect on and smile, laugh and maybe even shed a few tears. You have made and continue to make such a difference in this wonderful world by simply being you. I implore you: please don’t ever let someone make you feel like you are not enough. You are—I promise.

I cannot begin to tell you how much you mean to me. You have made me a more gracious, compassionate, and loving soul because you lead by example. You deserve the best this world has to offer, and I hope that someday soon, you see that, too.

I want you to know that you deserve someone who helps bring out your greatest qualities and fills your life with love, happiness and wonderful memories to get you through the darkest of days. You deserve to find someone who loves you unconditionally—someone who brings you joy and fills your life with laughter.

My wish for you is that you find someone who helps you to see your inner beauty. I want you to find someone who encourages you to pursue your dreams—someone who sees your potential and pushes you to reach past it. I pray that you find the strength and resilience to work through whatever life throws your way and that you find—someone whom you can lean on for comfort and peace when things may not be going your way. I hope that you create memories to last a lifetime of happiness and wonder.

Please, do not settle for less. You are worth it all—the time, the commitment and the love. It might take a few bumps along the road to find it. It might take a few wrongs before you make it right. It might take some heartbreak and pain. Be patient though—someday it will all be worth it.

I hope you know that no matter what our crazy lives may throw our way, I will always be here for you. I will always be a listening ear and a warm embrace when you need it. I will always encourage you, support you and love you through it all.

May you never forget how truly special and loved you are.

May you always be your astonishingly amazing self.

With love always,

Your fiercest supporter and 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.
