Another Open Letter to My Best Friends

Because I can't get enough of you

Another Open Letter to My Best Friends
Audrey Scoggins

To My Best Friends,

I know we’re starting to take our separate paths in life, but I want you to know that you mean the world to me no matter where in the world you are.

I’ll be the first to admit that I stink at communicating. I might always have my phone in my hand, but texting back is not my strong suit. Friendship came a lot easier when we were only a few miles apart. Interstates and my worthless texting skills may separate us, but you’re always in my heart and a late night drive away.

Thank you for only being a call away. I know how much of an emotional wreck I can be most of the time. There’s no way I could survive without my best friends to call at any time. I know I may not keep in touch as much as I need to, but I know I can call at any hour for a life catch up.

Please know that I will always be there to do the same. I know we’re all going in different directions, and I know we will make new friends (because we’re totally awesome); but that doesn’t mean you’re not worth a phone call or a visit.

You’re truly worth more than gold. I can’t wait to see how far you go in life. If you ever feel like you aren’t good enough, I promise you are. My life is so much better off because you stepped into it, and I can’t even thank you enough for that. I know you can make such an impact on the world because of the impact you have made on my life.

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel, or not to feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to-- "letting a person be what he really is.” – Jim Morrison

I’ve found this to be so true. I couldn’t ask for better friends through this season of my life. Whether I felt like eating ice cream in sorrow or shopping just to have fun, you’ve always been there. You’ll always be there. Regardless of distance; regardless of time.

Thank you for loving me thus far. I know I’m an absolute mess, but I promise I’m a mess who loves you a whole lot.

P.S. Thank you for putting up with a whole lot of sass from such a little person.

-Your sassy, short 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.
