An Open Letter To The Friends Who Have Become Family.

I’m sorry for how sappy this is going to be but my heart is overwhelmed with love for you and I need to try to put it into words.

I will never be able to fully communicate how thankful I am for you.

I thank God every single day for you.

I am genuinely not sure what I did to deserve friends like you and the love you have shown me.

You love me unconditionally.

You have seen me at my absolute worst and loved me still.

You pray for me and pray with me.

You give me chocolate when I’m sad.

You cook with me and for me.

You bring me coffee just because you were thinking of me.

You sing terribly with me on the way home.

You have made me a better me.

You have pushed me to fall in love with myself.

You have pushed me to grow.

The relationships I have with you have been orchestrated by God and I see Him in you.

When I look at each of you I don’t just see you, but I see the Spirit of the Living God inside of you.

Thank you for standing by me when I wanted to stand alone.

Even when I pushed you away you loved me from a distance and for that I thank you.

Thank you for telling me what I need to hear instead of what I want to hear.

Thank you for letting me leave mascara stains on your shirt.

Thank you for just hugging me when I needed to be held together.

Thank you for being exactly who you are because who you are is exactly what I need.

Thank you for letting me be me.

Thank you for pushing me to become the woman of God I am called to be.

Thank you for letting me love you.

Thank you for the mascara stains on my shirt.

Thank you for letting me hold you together when you felt like you were falling apart.

Thank you for letting me catch you when you just felt like you were falling.

I feel privileged to be able to love people like you.

I feel even more privileged to be loved by you.

I will never be able to repay you for what you have done for me but I promise I am going to spend every moment I know you trying to.

Whether you are 10 hours away from me or sitting in my living room as we speak, my heart is with you.

I promise there will never be a time I am not here for you.

There will never be a time I will not love you.

Thank you for making me feel safe.

Thank you for being my home.

With love, Liv

AI music threatens creativity

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.
