An Open Letter to My Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,

I am here to thank you. Thank you so much for being there most of my life. Even when we weren’t “best friends” you were there. You held me through breakups, family drama, and even our own fights. We even held each other when we knew the other one was wrong.

I just want to thank you for laughing with me all those years. We laughed at the funny things and the dumb things. I remember the fact that I changed your entire bio for your school account to make fun of you and we just laughed for three days.

In all reality I wanted to come here today to thank you for hanging on even through my depression. For holding me through anxiety attacks and talking me down from my automatic thoughts. Thank you for laughing with me and helping me be the person that I am today.

You have always been there and I love the memories that we have shared. I love laughing about all the inside jokes that no one else understands. I love looking back on our senior year and all the stupid Asian jokes I made at you and the teacher being confused. I love thinking about all the nights we spent talking to each other about love and heartbreak and our future.

I want to thank you for being there to give me an early birthday gift and say goodbye when I left. I also want to thank you for being there when I came home. It saddens me to be so far away from my one true love and best friend, but I know that you will always be here at the end of the day.

I am sorry that I have been distant lately I am just so busy with school. I know that it is no excuse, but I love you and I am trying so hard to be there. I know being so far has hurt us both tons and for that I am sorry, but I love you and you will always be the only person that ever gets me fully.

Lastly I want to say thank you for loving me, holding me, and going out of your way to see me. I miss you, but I know that it will all be okay in the end. I love you more than you will ever know and I need you in my life. I don’t say that enough, but I need you more than I need most people. I love you so so so so so much.

Sincerely, 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.
