To My Person I Lost Along The Way

Sometimes the things that should never change are the ones that change the most.

First of all, I want to thank you.

Thank you for being the sweetest, kindest, most loving, most generous, and most special best friend that I did and will ever have.

Thank you for letting me dance around the house in my sassy shoes and for painting my nails when I begged you because you knew I was really bad at it.

Thank you for playing with my hair when I cried and listening to me talk about the same stupid guy over and over, even though knew I deserved better all along.

Thank you for being the sister that you never had and the one I always wanted, even if we fought over stupid stuff more than we should’ve… like “not being included enough” in each other’s future weddings.

Thank you for helping me love myself and for showing me my worth when I had no reason to believe I had any.

Thank you for being my number one and for understanding me in a way that no one else did.

I think we could both agree that my boyfriend is the love of my life, but you were my soulmate.

Now I want to tell you how sorry I am. And I need you to understand how much I mean it. You didn’t deserve to be pushed to the sidelines of my life when things got rough, and I’m so sorry that I chose to shut you out. I can’t tell you how much I’m going to miss not giving the maid of honor speech at your wedding and decorating our houses the exact same way one day.

It’s still so hard to believe that we have to do the rest of our lives moving in two different directions when we used to live on the same page.

I want you to know I’m so sorry I never told you this enough, but that I’m so proud of you. You’re going to literally move mountains in your life, and I believe in you with all I’ve got. The light and joy you have in your heart is anything but ordinary, and I hope the people in your world treasure that more than anything else. I just miss you, and I think a part of me always will. Losing your friendship broke my heart more than any high school first love ever could’ve.

So I might not be there anymore, but here’s the thing:

You’ll always kinda be my person, even if I’m not yours.

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.
