To the Friend Who Hasn't Heard "Thank You" Enough,

You are the one who always has a smile on their face, the one who always has their arms wide open when someone seeks comfort, the one who is willing to move mountains for the people they care about. You are bright and compassionate—a quality that is desired by many but attained by only a few. Everyone around you is naturally drawn to your kind spirit. So many people rely on you to get them through whatever challenges they may be facing.

As much as we appreciate all you do, we somehow seem to get caught up in our own issues and don't tell you what you mean to us. And even if we do remember to say thank you after a heart to heart, a laugh or a hug, it's really not enough.

So, thank you for...

Accepting me as I am.

No matter how much my mascara runs or how out of perspective my opinion is, you never blame me. Thank you for letting me share my twisted point of view free of criticism and judgement.

Being available 24/7.

Whether it's 1:00 a.m. on a Thursday night or 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, you're always there. It still amazes me how many texts you've sent me saying "I'll be right over". Thanks for being close, no matter how far apart we physically are.

Making me laugh.

Your bright spirit and smile light up a room instantly, which I am forever grateful for. You know how to bring humor into any situation and make the toughest times a little more bearable. So, thank you for all of the uncontrollable belly laughs.

Speaking the truth.

All of my questionable decisions have been completely shut down because of you. Thank you for looking out for me and telling it like it is.

Being a good listener.

Sometimes I wonder how you put up with me. I can go on for hours complaining about everything under the sun, while you sit there patiently and nodding along. Thanks for hearing me out for the big things, and being so patient when I ramble on about the little things.

Loving me, always.

People worry when they don't see the two of us together. We are practically inseperable, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thousands of amazing, funny, and even horrific memories come to mind when I think of you. So thank you for being the most amazing friend, supporting me through it all, laughing through life with me, and loving me unconditionally.

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.
