An Open Letter To My Best Friend

"Best friends don't necessarily have to talk every day. They don't even need to talk for weeks. But when they do, it's like they never stopped talking." ~Author unknown

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Brianna Hines

Dear best friend,

I know things aren't the same as they used to be when we were in middle school when we first became best friends. We have changed and grown since then, we are talking about new issues in our life. You're in basic training for the U.S. Army and I'm in college trying to become a teacher. Our lives are completely different. But that doesn't change how much I care about your life.

I can remember a time when we would stay up late talking about how much we wanted to leave this town and change our whole entire scenery and forget all our worries. We would talk about all the latest bands we found or how many tattoos we wanted in the future and piercings.

We cried over things together and laughed till our stomachs hurt. You helped me through so much when I first met you in middle school and I honestly cannot thank you enough for that or I wouldn't be where I am today. I would've given up on everything if I did have a best friend like you. I brag about you at college like a proud PTA mom. Same goes with your little sister, it's like I'm a proud mom of my two best friends. It's kind of funny how I ended up being your guys' friends all of the sudden. Not only you, but both of you both have always felt like sisters to me.

When you lived close to me, we would spend a lot of time together over the summer and just go on random adventures and scream All Time Low lyrics while the windows were rolled down. I don't think I would ever change the times we had jumping around to music whether it was in your living room or on our walks together.

I want you to know this, dude. I'm so proud of you. You have accomplished so much and that motivates me to keep going in college. I miss you a lot but I'm sure things won't change once I see you again. I'll be so happy to see you. But keep pushing, I know you're killing it.


No matter how many times were apart for a long time in our lives, you'll always be my best friend and we will always understand each other in more ways than someone else could ever try to.


Thank you for being in my life and I can't wait for many more memories to come!

Love you so much, Private Morgan.


Your best friend,

Brianna

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.
