An Open Letter To My Best Friend

You deserve to hear this.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
M-Magazine

Dear Best Friend,

I have seen you struggle through many heartbreaks, long nights and making choices that you know will affect your future. I have seen you lose family members or your best friend and the heart ache you experience after. I have witnessed the times you have just wanted to give up but didn't. I have seen your fears come alive before. So I want to be the first to say, you deserve the world. You are the most kindhearted, passionate, strong, hard working individual I have ever met. You impress people with your personality and big heart. You will go out of your way just to make someone else's day better when you are the one who deserves to be treated that way. You continuously have your every ounce of your beings laid out but people find a way to shatter it. You never feel smart enough, beautiful or handsome enough, but you are more than that. You are more then what society makes you feel like. I want to tell you that you deserve better, you deserve more. You deserve the world.

So why I am writing this letter now? Because you deserve it. You deserve to hear this everyday but you would probably deny it since you feel like you don't need to hear this. You have really hit the hard patch of life but have not shown or told others about it. As much as I wish I could take away all the struggle and pain you have experienced, I can't. But that doesn't mean I can't be the change and help you need. I am here for you whenever you need it even when if it may seem like I am not. I am and will always be there for you, I'm just a phone call away. You don't even have to say you need help, just that you need a friend; a best friend and we will do what we do best to make your problems go away.

Next time you have a new interesting or hard life choice to make, just know I will be there. I want to hear your thoughts and decisions. I want to support you and be that listening ear. I want to be the one who empathizes with you, not sympathize. I want to be that one to make your day better. Because you deserve the world whether your strong persona says so or not. You are a wonderful human being. Don't ever let others define that for you or make you feel less. You are perfectly imperfect.

XOXO,

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.
