Dear Old Friend That I Don't See Much Anymore,

I miss you.

I know we both have a lot going on in our own lives and our time wears thin occasionally but I wish we talked as much as we used to.

It used to be when people saw me, they saw you. We were hardly ever apart from each other. But now we have our known lives, new friends, living in different towns... I know this is an exciting time for you, you are independent and doing things on your own and I am so proud of you for that. You have a new life and I get that, I just wish I saw you more. I know I can't see you as much as I used to but I wish I saw you more than I do right now.

Sometimes I call you because your the only one that would understand what I am talking about, the only one who even actually knows who I would be talking about. But during those times, if you answer, I feel like I am bothering you when I call. That you have much more important things to do than talk to an old friend like me. I know you don't mean it that way and I know you are busy, I understand.

I've gotten used to not receiving the phone calls or texts that you said you were going to send. I've gotten used to the "I can't, I'm busy" answer when I ask to spend time with you, celebrating things like birthdays. I'm not mad because you are too busy for me, I know you have a whole other life and you can't rush to see me every time I call... I just miss you that's all.

I know very well that you might not even see this letter and that's probably best because I don't think I could ever tell you all of this. I don't write this to make you feel guilty or hurt your feelings I really don't. I know we can't see each other like we used to, I still just miss you.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I miss you, I always will. I know we are growing up and when people grow up they move away and gain another life in a sense, that's just apart of life. I just want you to know that no matter where you go or how many miles come between us, just know that I will always miss you and I will always want to see you. You'll never stop being one of my best friends. Time... distance... it doesn't matter. As long as we both make an effort to be apart of each others lives, everything will work itself out.

Love always,

The friend that will always be here... missing you.

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.
