A Thank You Letter To My Friends
Aerin Johnson

Thank you.

I thank you all for everything you do. I thank you for being there whenever I have needed you. I thank you for making me laugh to the point of crying. I thank you for stopping my sad tears with laughter.

I thank you for showing me that beauty does exist in this world and it is in each and every one of you (though each of you has told time and time again that you do not think so). I thank you for showing me that there is happiness and kindness, even when it does not always come your way.

I thank you for saving me from different things, whether it be the fear of being alone or the fear of suddenly being transported to a fictional universe. I thank you for putting up with my dorkiness and my weirdness, because let’s be honest, who else would.

I thank you for showing me that even in the roughest times you are there for me. I thank you for letting me be there in your roughest times as well. I thank you for letting us experience the rough waves that come with friendship and thank you for loving me and letting me love you anyway.

I thank you for coming into my life exactly when I need it. Each and every one of you has been unexpected and yet I knew that I would need you in unexpected ways. Whether it be to deal with bullies, to bring happiness, or just simply to get through school. And I thank you for letting me come into each of your lives and letting me try to bring something to each of you.

I thank you for letting me experience your light and love each day and I hope that I have shown you that I love you so much and that I have been so blessed to have you all my life. This letter goes to not just one, but all of you. This is a thank you letter to the girls and boys who have become not just my friends, but a part of my family.

I love you guys.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
