Having a best friend since childhood is a hard thing to do, but when it does happen, it creates a special bond between you and the person who has known you longer than any of your other friends.

To my best friend,

You know about that embarrassing crush I had when I was in eighth grade, all of my horrible mistakes and habits, and you know every phase I went through growing up. Even with all of those things being factors in this friendship, you still chose to be my best friend, and I thank you for that.

I am so happy we met when we were just little kids, and I still remember so many memories from those times. I remember when cell phones were not a thing for us, and we would have to call one another 's land line, and talk to each others parents just to see if we could hang out. We would beg our parents to drive us to the mall, we would take horribly embarrassing pictures on cheap digital cameras, and we had so many memories that trying to remember them all makes my head hurt.

I remember when we first bought our friendship bracelets from Claire's in the third grade, and how we knew that it would last forever. I am so happy it did, and I am so happy to still call you my best friend today. It is crazy knowing that one day we will both go into the real world, both go off and get married and have kids. I hope we always remain close, and I know in my heart that if we made it this far, we will be friends forever.

I am so thankful to have someone that knows absolutely everything about me. Thank you for sometimes knowing me better than I know myself, and for always leading me in the right direction. It is always a good thing to have someone there to tell me if I am being overdramatic, or if I am being extremely rational while I make decisions in my day-to-day life.

I am so happy to always have someone to lean on, someone to laugh with, and someone to call my best friend. I am happy that I had someone with me through all of the points in my life where I have grown as a person because you knew every person I ever was, until I finally found my true self. So, here is to best friendship, to being basically siblings, and to a long life ahead of us filled with (hopefully less embarrassing) memories. Love you best friend.

Love,

(As we used to say when we were 12) Your BFFL

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.
