The Best Guy Friend

I hate that I even have to say "guy" because you're just my best friend.

I know this article probably sounds like it will be like a million other articles, but it's not. Why? Because my best friend is better than yours. And my best friend is a guy. Literally, EVERYONE thinks that we are dating or like each other but I can assure you that, that is the farthest thing from the truth. This is not a situation where I feel like we are just best friends now who are eventually gonna end up together, and we do not have a marriage pact for if we are single when we are 40. We really are just best friends. And I would never want any one else as my best friend.

We have known each other for almost 13 years now. We have seen each other go through more awkward phases than I actually care to admit; like when I thought it was a good idea to be bleach blonde (it wasn't)... So when I found out he was moving to my hometown, we instantly starting hanging out and it was pretty awesome.

It started out as us just going out to bars and hanging out. I would be his "wing girl" when he saw a pretty girl and vice versa. Eventually, he was the person I went to when I was having any problems with guys. After that, he was there for all my problems. And again vice versa.



We literally are to the point now where we have entire conversations in GIFs, and they are pretty great. We know exactly when the other person is just not doing okay, and we are always there to send the right meme when someone needs to be cheered up.

I think we take more selfies than anyone I know. We also probably brunch more than your average person should. But we are always there to help each other out, even if it just involves getting the other person a drink and letting them vent their life. Oh and did I mention brunch...

I know what you're thinking, yeah you guys are probably gonna date. But I really don't see that in our future, and neither does he. Probably the most normal best friendship you could ever have. So much so that we are like brother and sister, which would make it SUPER weird to date. We are go-to wing-men and the best of friends.

To end this, THANK YOU to the best friend ever. You make the world suck a little less, and I will always be your wing woman.

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.
