To The Best Friend That I Don't Talk To Everyday

Not even weeks of silence can break our bond.

To my best friend that I don’t talk to every day,

You know who you are. We talk, weeks and sometimes even months pass, and then we talk again. It’s been like this for a while now, but that’s what I love about our friendship. We don’t have to talk every single day to stay friends. We both need our space, and we both understand that. That’s one reason I love you so much.

It’s actually been a couple months since we’ve last had a full conversation. I see your Instagram and Facebook posts, and you see mine. We like and comment on each other’s stuff. When we see things that remind us of each other, we tag each other in the comments. Just because we don’t text every given moment of every single day doesn’t mean we’re not best friends. That’s not what being best friends is about.

When we were younger, we were inseparable. We spent every day of every summer together, and our parents couldn’t keep us apart. Somewhere along the way though, we both got busy doing other things and hanging out with other people. You went to high school and left me in middle school, then whenever I got to high school you graduated and left me there too. I made new friends, you made new friends — yet we knew at heart we were still best friends.

Every time we talk we pick up right where we left off. We never have a problem catching up and it’s never awkward. Every time our conversations end, we both know it will probably be weeks before we have another full conversation, and we’re both okay with that.

You have your life and I have mine and we’re both super busy. Deep down, we will always have those memories and connections that will keep us best friends. After all, being best friends isn’t defined by how many texts per day you send to each other, or how many hours a week you spend on FaceTime, or how many weekends you spend together. Being best friends simply means being there for each other, day or night. It means knowing each other’s deepest secrets. Being best friends is having experienced some of the toughest and some of the best moments in life together. Being best friends is having a bond that can’t be broken - not even by going months without talking.

Talk to you in a few weeks,

XOXO

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.
