An Open Letter To An Old Friend

We may have grown apart, but I'll hold on to our memories forever.

An Open Letter To An Old Friend
Damian Gadal

Dear Old Friend,

Hey, remember me? I never thought, out of all people, I'd be asking you that question. And I most definitely never thought I would be calling you an old friend. I'm not even sure what happened to us. We were inseparable back in the day; we did everything together, knew everything about each other's lives, spilled our deepest and darkest secrets to each other. Not a day went by where we didn't see each other, or at least talk on the phone. Now it's like we never knew each other.

I guess that's just how life works. Times change and people change. Not every one we encounter stays in our lives forever, even the people you thought would be there until the end.

I want you to know that although we are no longer in each other's lives, I'll never forget the endless memories we shared. All the good, the bad and the ugly. The laughs, the tears, the fights, the jokes, all of it will stay with me forever. Because that's how much I valued our friendship.

I hope everything is going well for you and that you're happy. I wish I was still up to date on what's going on with you, the same way I wish I could pick up the phone and tell you my latest drama.

Contrary to what you might think, I do miss you. I miss all the fun times we shared together and I could only hope you also do. And I hope you know that if you ever needed me again, I'd be here for you no matter what happened in the past.

If life happens and we end up back in each other's lives, that would be great. But until then I'll hold on to the memories we shared together.

From,

Me

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.
