Thank you for taking the knife out of my back

Doesn't matter how long the friendship is

Thank you for taking the knife out of my back

Thank you for helping me realize that not everyone is going to hurt me

Thank you for always being there for me

Thank you for listening to me

Thank you for being you

Where does the title come from most of you are wondering. Well you see I had this so called "friend" who crossed the line one to many times. We were friends for over ten years and I thought we would be friends forever.

I realized soon that when one chapter closes in your life you should leave the negative people behind.

The hard part about friendships is the longer it is the harder it is to say goodbye well unless you truly don't care about the friendship.

This friend and I went through a really bad situation. A situation that I will never forget. You know the funny part; I did nothing wrong but I was the one trying to salvage what was left of our friendship. I tried setting up a time to talk but she bailed and we haven't spoke since.

A true best friend would do anything to make it work. It doesn't matter what you did or how bad things got, someone would go out of their way.

After everything, I felt almost broken because that was the person I always hung out with. But then I realized who my TRUE best friends were.

They reached out to me, they asked me how I was, they cared and did everything they could to make me laugh.

Do you know how amazing it feels to talk to friends that can have a conversation without bringing drama into it? It feel AMAZING. I don't have to listen to sob stories, or deal with a toxic relationship anymore.

It's funny how once everyone heard what happened the response I got from a bunch of people was, "good you're better off because I never like her anyways."

Find yourself friends that are going to encourage you and not bring negativity in your life. If you feel like someone is constantly bringing your mood down, break it off.

Thank you to my TRUE friends. I don't know what I would do without you; and I honestly mean that!

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.
