The distance sucks, but it works.

Hi,

Before you read any further, I just want to let you know that you’re my favorite person. Though I probably don’t say it enough, I appreciate you and everything you do for me even from hundreds of miles away. With that being said, I’d like to say thank you for listening to me countless times. You help me overcome obstacles every day by knowing exactly what to say to help me get by whether it has to do with school, work, friends, relationships, health, body image, and so much more.

Thank you for never staying mad at me for too long, even when we both know I totally deserve to be mad at. Thank you for understanding me when others couldn’t. Thank you for always making me smile and laugh, even if it’s just by a single text message or a link to a silly YouTube video. Thank you for staying up late with me just to talk about life and the future and our feelings that we oftentimes aren’t strong enough to admit to. Thank you for constantly believing in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. I know we don’t see each other often, maybe once every few months, but I just want to let you know the time I spend with you is the time I value most in my life.

You have done so much more for me than you know, whether it’s making me feel comfortable in your own home, feeling accepted by your family, or buying me coffee or lunch when I was completely capable of paying for myself. I hate not being able to see you every day or hug you when I want to. I hate not being able to come to your house and watch movies with you or go out for lunch with you or go shopping- you know- just those basic activities that best friends are typically required to do. The distance stinks, but it works. I can’t imagine my life without you, and I honestly never want to. I could write the longest letter in the world about how much our friendship means to me, but I decided to keep it as short as I could. I just needed to let you know that I love you so much and I can’t wait to see you again.

Love always,

Me

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.
