A Letter To My New Best Friend

My raddest, newest BFFL:

It hasn't been years like it has with other friendships-in fact it's only been a few months, but I couldn't and don't want to ever imagine my life without you. You're one of the best things to ever happen to me, thank you for everything you do. Here's what I'm thankful for more in depth.

Thanks for calling me out on my bullshit. When I'm acting out, behaving like an idiot or even an asshole, you're always there to put me right back in my place. It may annoy me and even piss me off but I'm so happy I have someone who even cares how I act.

Thanks for being a kickass wingwoman. You go with me just about everywhere and even moved in with me!! You help me with awkward social gathering and those awkward in public moments. You're fucking awesome dude. Thanks for being basically my in-home mom.

Thanks for never making me feel guilty and ashamed. If I need help I know you're always there to help me no matter what. You never put me out with my issues and even help me solve them. I mean...hello!!! You we're with me for my first wreck and we almost died, and then you helped me pay my expensive ass towing bill. I love you so friggin much, man.

Thank you for being happy when I'm happy when good things go on in my life. "OMG, THAT'S SO COOL YOU GOT NEW GLASSES/I don't give one fuck." You want to see me happy (It's vise-versa btw.) even if it means we see less of each other.

Thank you for supporting the one I love. I know you and my dear boyfriend butt heads often, but thanks for putting up with him.


Thanks for always making me feel loved and safe. And thanks for just getting "it".

P.S. Thanks for almost dying with me. Wouldn't want to almost die with anyone else. <3

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.
