Dear Best Friend,

This letter is long overdue. Part the reason I procrastinated writing this letter is because I can't quite put into words how special our friendship is. There isn't a word quite yet to describe exactly how special our friendship is. You are not quite like any other friend I have. You are not just a friend to me. You are my best friend, but even best doesn't quite describe you.

You have done so many things.You have invited me to stay the summer when I couldn't make it home. Even when you are several states away, you stay up late to talk to me. You hate drama, but you always listen to mine anyways. We have sleepovers in your room when I get locked out of mine. You make me smile when I think there are no more reasons for smiling. You talk with me on the phone with me for three hours straight. Now that's some dedication! Making time to go on a walk with me when I just need to vent is your specialty. To let me know that you are thinking of me, you send packages. Random texts from you make my day. You support me in my dreams when no one else will. You hold me when all I need is a shoulder to cry on and you give me a new passion in life. I could ramble for days about things you have done, but there are also things you refuse to do.

Spreading rumors is something you refuse to do. You know that bringing me down will never bring you up. When it is easy to judge, you refuse. You have so many opportunities to make me look like a fool, yet you decline the chance to do so. Pushing buttons is something that you refuse to do. You refuse to get in the way of my dreams and let me give up on my dreams.


You are the epitome of what a best friend represents. You able to listen to me talk, even if you don't get to say much. You care about me more than I ever thought was possible. You are also able to be my kind of crazy. Now that takes special talent! You have created a feeling of trust. I am even able to share some of my deepest feelings with you. You even know some of my darkest secrets. You are even willing to give up what you want so that you can keep our friendship.

I can never put into words how grateful I am that we crossed paths and are still friends. You have brought a new light into my life. I never want to lose you as a friend. You have changed my life for the better. My life will never be the same because of you. Thank you for being my best friend!

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.
