To The Girl Who Stopped Being My Best Friend

A lot of the time, there are fall outs between people who we considered to be our best friend. Most of the time it does suck because if and when you ever see them again, the conversation isn't the same, it's stiff and robotic. And although you may no longer be friends with them, there are still things you'd like to say.

Hi there,

I know we barely speak anymore. The end of our friendship wasn't the greatest and although we tried to end on good terms, I feel that there are still some things left unsaid. I know I've done my wrongdoings and I fully accept them and have apologized for them. However, I don't believe that they're the reason our friendship fell apart. There were so many instances where anger built up causing emotions to be unclear, instances where wrongdoings were done but nothing was said, and instances where words hurt but they were brushed off for the sake of not getting in an argument.

We could go in circles discussing where our friendship went wrong and I don't think either of us would agree. Sometimes I felt like our friendship was too good to be true because we would hardly fight or disagree about things. Were we scared of our friendship ending? Did we know it would end?

Ultimately when it did, I wasn't surprised. I was waiting for the bomb to go off. I tiptoed around a lot of situations that should have been addressed as soon as they became an issue. But it's okay because I learned from our friendship and I know what to do better in my new friendships now. It does suck not getting to text you after important events happen in my life. It sucks not getting to hear the catastrophic events that happened at work. What hurts the most is not getting to make new memories together. Looking back at pictures of our friendship is somewhat painful and joyous because you're no longer my go to. At times I'd like to text you to see how your life has been going but I don't know if anything would come of it. Even though we apologized and made amends, our friendship cannot be recovered. It's not because I wouldn't want to, it's just that I think we should leave our friendship the way we remembered it best, whole and sweet. I often blamed myself for our friendship falling apart and never being fixed but then again, friendship is a two-way street. And even though we only speak once in a blue moon, you will always be the person who made my first year of college worthwhile.

Sincerely,

The girl who found peace

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.
