Dear Best Friend,

I will not put your name in this letter because you know who you are. I want you to know that after all of the years that I have known you, you will always be my best friend. Even when I have not been there as much recently, I promise that I will never leave your side when you need me most. I promise you that, though it might be days or even a week before we speak, if something happens just know that I will be there every step of the way that you need me. Even if that means you just want to tell me something that is awesome or awful. I promise you that I will always be there.

I will always defend you. Even if I might ever be mad at you, I respect you too much to let someone else disrespect you even if we are in a disagreement. I mean that has never happened before because you are always a damn good friend. I will even defend you from yourself because sometimes we let things get a little too crazy and I like having you around. Even when you think that the ex-boyfriend or current crush is worth all of that heartache that you were put through, I will be there to tell you to screw that jerk and be fabulous instead. I will be as blunt as humanly possible and probably use fouler language but it will happen because I gotchu.

I promise that I will try my best to make you laugh. I am stupid and goofy enough so you know that I will try to make your life happy even when I am not feeling up for it. I believe that everyone should be happy and that includes my best friend. You are one of the most important people in my life and I want to make sure you enjoy life as much as you can. that is my promise to you.

I also promise that we will always have adventures. What is the point of not having fun in life and not taking certain risks? I mean, I get pretty chicken when I want to be but I am always up for adventures with you.

There is so much more that I could say but the most important thing for you to know is that I love you. That we will have many more adventures together. That you will always be important in my life even when you think that no one cares about you. I will always be there for you through thick and thin. Know that you are my best friend for life.

Love,

Your 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.
