To My Boyfriend's Best Friend

This is a peace offering of sorts.

To My Boyfriend's Best Friend
Taylor Beach

In past relationships I've always had conflicts with my boyfriend's best friend. Confrontations with the best friend impacted the relationship I was in at the time negatively. He would hate me for taking time away from him and his best friend saying, "I knew him longer than you have." It was like his best friend called dibs on my love for him and sharing him was out of the question. At the moment, I find myself loved deeply by the most amazing man I've ever met. This amazing guy has a best friend. Why wouldn't he? This letter is for the best friend.

To my boyfriend's best friend,

I love him as much as you do...just in a different way. I always said that the friends we have are the little pieces that make up who we are so a part of me loves you as well. I love how good you are to him; how you make him laugh; how you never turn him down when he needs your help.

I wouldn't dream of having it any other way. I want to hang out all three of us. I want all of us to travel our beautiful country together and make the sweetest of memories. None of that "third-wheel" stuff. I know it's complicated but we're really not like that. He is my best friend 90% of the time so I treat him as such in front of his friends. I never want you to feel like you can't hang out with us because I'm around.

Joking around with you is one of the best feelings in the world. Having your approval not only makes me happy, but I see the light in your best friend's eyes at our interaction and I know he is thrilled. I want you to know that you guys crack me up. Your inside jokes made no sense at first but when you let me in I was a part of those jokes. I was included. Thank you for the laughs.

I'm grateful he has you. When he gets a text, I always know it's you. How do I know, you ask? Because he gets all giggly by something silly you said. He can talk freely with you. I'm not saying he can't talk freely with me but his tone is respectful with me. With you, his voice is whatever it wants to be.

Most importantly, I promise to love your best friend with all my heart, forever. I know when he needs his best friend time and I encourage it. You need to know that I need your time too. I plan on being here and I know you do, too, so seeing your face is a must.

I'm blessed with making a friend in you, the man who wants the best for his best friend. I won't stop trying to be the best girlfriend to your best friend.

Sincerely,

The Girlfriend

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.
