To The Friend Who Left

Sometimes life just happens and I get that. Why leave without an explanation though?

To The Friend Who Left
Sarah Grisham

To my friend who left. This one is for you.

You didn't have to leave, but you did and I don't know why.

Thank you for showing me that it is ok to have a sassy attitude.

But surround yourself with people who can handle it.

Thank you for having my back when I needed it.

What most people do not know is that the calm and collected texts they received back was all you and not me (because we all know I would not have been that nice).

Thank you for sticking around as long as you did.

We know it isn't easy.

Thank you for always telling me what I needed to hear.

Rather than what I wanted to hear.

Thank you for always saying you were hungry.

I never had to worry about eating alone, because you were "always hungry".

Thank you for the pictures.

I love memories and we had some good ones.

Thank you for always supporting me in whatever I did.

If I wanted to go rob Qdoba I knew you would be right there beside me. Or steal an elderly man...


Thank you for the laughs.

Even when I wanted to cry.

Thank you for the random trips.

Even the ones that never happened, but they were always planned. Just in case.

Thank you for always answering when I called.

And if you didn't then you knew your phone was about to blow uppppp. Probably never important as I thought they were, but you always acted like you cared.

Thank you.

Thank you for showing me in that short amount of time that life was never as serious as I thought it was.

Thank you for no longer being there for me.

Sometimes that is how life works out sometimes. Things happen and people turn out how you never thought they would be. I am ok with it though. You have made me realize that some friendships are temporary, but never take a moment with them for granted.

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.
