An Open Letter To The Person Who I thought Was My Best Friend

Without you, I would not know what it means to be a friend.

Dear "Best Friend,"

I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for making me stronger person without you in my life. Thank you for making me realize that I do not need toxic people in my life who only bring me down and do not believe in me. Without our friendship, I would not be the person I am today.

You showed me how not to be a friend. A friend is someone who sticks by that person through thick and thin and does not abandon them when they need someone to talk to. A friend is someone who believes in that person no matter what and does not bring them down regardless of the situation. You were someone who did not show support, made me feel less of myself and made me believe that I could not be successful in life or do anything for myself.

The day you showed me that you were not a true friend and were only using me because you were bored you showed your true colors and the type of person you truly are. I do not want to be "best friends" with someone who does not value friendship or cares about one's feelings. From that day forward you made me stronger and had me realize that I did not want to stoop down to your level just to have friends that do not really mean anything.

I am glad that we are not friends anymore and do not speak anymore. I do not want to associate myself with someone that always needs to be around people to survive and someone who will choose hanging out with their boyfriend every day and drop everyone else that cares about them, that is how you loose that people that truly care about you. Without you in my life, I am so much happier than I have ever been then when you were in my life. I now know the true meaning of friendship because you showed me how not to be a friend and how not to treat people who truly care about you.

As I said before without our friendship I would not be the person I am today. Not having you in my life has made me not want to put anyone through what you put me, though. Without out you in my life I am a lot happier, a better person, believe in myself and I will always be a better person then you will ever be in any life time.

I wish you nothing but the best and good luck with life.

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

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.
