Thank you for always opening your house to me.

Thank you for letting me come over whenever I wanted.

Thank you for taking me on vacation.

Thank you for letting your house be a place of comfort for me.

I am so thankful that I found a best friend who's family has become my second family. I am so lucky that I got a best friend, another mom, another dad, a brother, and a dog. I know I am always welcome at your house or out to dinner with you. I love spending the holidays with you. I love Sunday dinners and laughing around the dinner table.

Thank you for being there when I needed to cry.

Thank you for letting me sit on your couch and watch a movie.

Thank you for letting me use your Netflix account.

Thank you for always being there for me.

You will never know how much all of this means to me. I am so lucky that I was able to find a best friend all the way back in fifth grade and still over 10 years later we are still best friends. But in those years I have gained so much more than I ever thought I possibly could. You all welcomed me with open arms. I will never be able to repay you for that.

Thank you for the laughs.

Thank you for letting me lay out at your pool.

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the memories.

Thank you for the constant love.

Thank you for the constant support.

Thank you for the advice that you give me.

Thank you for letting me become your second daughter.

Thank you for everything you have done for me.

I am so grateful for you all in my life. I am so happy I gained another family out of having a best friend. I can't wait to make more memories with all of you.

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.
