An Open Letter to My Guy Best Friend

Well kid, we made to college…and let me tell you, I truly don’t know how I would be here without you. You’ve seen me through it all and somehow you’re still around. So here’s to our one in a million friendship and one hell of a guy.

Honestly, there are endless moments I need to thank you for, reasons every girl deserves a gem like you. So here are just a few…

1. Thank you for never starting drama in my life. For being the one person that I can tell anything too, and I mean ANYTHING

2. Thank you for letting me cry to you, whenever, no matter how ugly…

3. Thank you for your honest opinion, and for never sugar-coating it

4. Thank you for always listening and giving your endless advice


5. …And for comforting me after I don’t take that advice, followed with the “I told you so…”


6. Thank you for accepting me in every state, no matter what I look like


7. Thank you for making me feel more comfortable around you than almost anyone else in my life

8. Thank you for letting me annoy you when I feel the constant need for attention

9. Thank you for dropping whatever you are doing to hang out with me because I can only go so long without seeing you

10. Thank you for actually letting me watch movies and for always letting me pick the cheesy stuff

11. Thank you for laughing at how single we are while watching chick flicks

12. Thank you for sharing a million embarrassing moments with me, and still loving me even after you have to question our friendship

13. Thank you for your tough love, for putting me back on track after my rough patches

14. Thank you for keeping me grounded, and taking care of my broken pieces when life gets to be too much

15. Thank you for making me laugh when I thought a smile was impossible

16. Thank you for never giving up on me, even though I am a total pain in your ass

17. Thank you for opening doors for me when others were slammed in my face

18. Thank you for protecting me, for always having my back

19. Thank you for reminding me that I am worth so much more than the guy before

20. Thank you for showing me what love is, without the weirdness

So here we are, and I can without a doubt say that l am so lucky to have you in my life every day. Not once have you let me down and to know you’re in it for the long haul gives me comfort beyond words. You never fail to make me feel amazing. Our friendship is simply a hot mess and I know you wouldn’t want it any other way, because that is who we are. I wouldn’t dream of changing a thing.

So if I haven’t told you lately, thank you. Thank you for keeping me sane, and for showing me that life is better with a best friend by your side. Thank you for taking every step with me, and for making me a better and stronger person. Thank you for being you and in turn for shaping me.

Your Forever Grateful Best Friend

AI music threatens creativity

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.
