To My Best Friends

My best friends have always been there for me in the good times and the bad times.

Friends are the family we get to choose. They are perhaps the most important gift life gives us because of their loyalty, love and strength. Having great friends can make all the difference, especially when you just want five minutes to talk or a hug after a day that just keeps getting worse. Best friends are the people you can go skydiving with and sit on the floor and eat ice cream with. It never matters what you are doing as long as you're having a good time.

People come into our lives for many reasons and sometimes it's not a good one. If we're lucky however, we can count our true best friends on one hand. I've had a best friend since I was four and I am lucky enough to say that no matter the distance we have remained friends for over fifteen years. I even got the chance to make new friendships where I have had so many amazing memories. From high school to college, we went through a lot and supported each other through the whole process. It's amazing how we have managed to remain friends after all this time and still manage to call each other at least once a week.

My best friends have always been there for me in the good times and the bad times. From traveling to Europe and ski trips to stressful weeks and ridiculous rants, we have remained by each others' sides.

Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you" and proved it. - Unknown

No one has changed my standards more than my best friends. Some have taught me how to be positive, laugh more and have fun at all times. Others have reminded me that gentlemen still exist and I deserve to have the door held for me and walked to my car. It might sound silly, but friends are the foundation of relationships you get to choose. Family is family no matter what and sometimes we need a little more to help us catch our breathes. Friends give us that extra spice in life and remind us daily about all the things we should hope for and the things we are worthy of.

Thank you to my amazing best friends for everything that you do and all that you stand for. Thank you for worrying about me in the bad times and loving me at my worst. Thank you for making me enjoy life and loving me at my best.

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.
