To My Best Friends: Thank You

I know I don't always show it, but I am so thankful for all that you do.

You are my People. You are the people who I go to on my darkest days and just need some reassurance that everything will be okay no matter how bad it might get. You are the people I go to when I have the best news to share because I know you will feel the same happiness I do. You are the people who remind me everyday that there is good in the world because I know I am blessed to have you in my life. You are my best friends.

Thank you. Thank you for all the laughs we share over the littlest things. Thank you for always reminding me how strong I am even when I don't believe it. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder when I need you most, even when it's over something as little as being hungry. Thank you for accepting me at my best and at my worst, because let's be honest, I know I am a lot to handle. Thank you for all the advice about boys because as much as I pretend to know what I am doing, we both know I am just as clueless as everyone else.

Thank you for never judging me, even when I do something really stupid. Thank you for always defending me and sticking up for me because even though I act tough, you know I still need help. Thank you for understanding that even though I am really complicated and always have my own opinion, that I will always have your back and protect you.

Thank you for helping me through the toughest times of my life such as losing a grandparent and when my heart was broken. Thank you for showing me the bright side of every situation and that no matter what I can get through it and end up back on top. Thank you for only being a phone call and text away. Thank you for always answering, even when its at a ridiculous hour. Thank you always being honest with me and never letting me believe anything less than the truth. Thank you for always being you.

Thank you for understanding that I get lonely easily and reminding me that you will always be there for me. Thank you for the compassion you show me everyday because you know I am fragile; even though others don't understand that part of me. Thank you for all the forgiveness I have received from you; I never mean to hurt anyone, I just lash out at the wrong people. Thank you for always knowing how important you are to me, I know I don't always show it as much as I should.

Thank you for being everything I could ever ask for in a person and so much more. Thank you for knowing even though I am horrible at keeping in touch while in school, you know I am always here for you. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for being my best friends.

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.
