I think about you every day. I see something that just reminds me of our friendship and all the stupid things that we used to do together. It is that easy for all the memories, good and bad, to come rushing back into my mind, reminding me that we are not the way we used to be; that we are no longer close enough to even call each other from time to time. I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss being in your presence, with you always making me laugh like a little kid, or making sure that I was okay even when I wasn't.

It seems so strange how two people can meet and become best friends, but grow up and grow apart in the process. You know my darkest secrets, and I know yours, and yet I still trust you with everything that I have that you'll keep those secrets. I watched you grow into who you today, and it makes me happy to see who it is that you have become, even if I had to watch you do this from afar.

It hurts me to remind myself that I'm not in your life anymore, but I guess that's what makes me thankful that I even knew you in the first place. You are the type of person that everyone wants to be friends with. You are so caring and generous to everyone around you. You have the power to light up every room that you walk into, and I can only hope that I get the chance to see that one more time from you.

I never thought I would see the day that we weren't friends anymore, cheering each other on throughout this life, but it happened. I'm sorry for not reaching out as much as I should have, thinking that we would just reconnect at some point. I see you now and I don't really know how to act; I will always be excited to see you, to know that I get to hear all about how your life is, and all the exciting things happening, but I can't lie and say that I don't get nervous about seeing you. And I don't mean that in a bad way, it scares me that you are not the same person that I used to be friends with. You've grown and bettered yourself, and I will always be nervous to meet the new version of you.

You taught me a lot, and watched as we grew into new people. I will always wish you the best in life, no matter where you end up. And even if you can't hear it, I am always on your side, cheering you on from the sidelines.

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

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.
