An Open Letter To My Best Friend Who Moved

To my forever best friend,

I never thought the day would come when I had to say goodbye to you. I knew it was coming for along time. I am so proud of you for chasing your dreams and having the courage to move five states away for school. However, I never intended on the pain that would follow your departure. It is extremely hard to wake up everyday and know that I will not see you. I miss you so much that I cannot put it in words, but I am going to try my best to shine some light on just how much you mean to me.

You have taught me so much; like what it means to be a good friend and how to be there for someone in the hardest of times. We have been through so much together just in the past few months that not many people can say they went through together. I stuck by your side and was there for you as best as I could be. I know deep down in my heart that you appreciated every hug, text and phone call.

You also taught me not to be so narrow minded. You taught me to never judge others because we do not know what they are going through. You made me into who I am today and I cannot thank you enough. I have realized what is important in life and to let go of the negativity. I’m so thankful that God put you into my life and made us best friends.

Most importantly, you taught me how to live. I cannot explain to you how much being apart of your life has meant to me. You’ve impacted me in so many ways and I am so grateful. You showed me there was more to life than how I was living it. I love you with all my heart and no distance will ever break us apart and in the words of Lance Reynald, “True friends stay with you no matter the distance or time that seperates you from them”.

Forever,

Your Partner in Crime

AI music threatens creativity

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.
